Who you think created discos. Americans don't know how to party.
Where was hip-hop created?

It doesn't matter black is black. unity my brethren.
200 years from now white people are going to try push a narrative that the Beastie boys invented hip-hop anyways.

The Beastie Boys were right there at the explosion of hip-hip and a case could be made that they lit the fuse.
They already setting the groundwork.

Disco music is an offshoot of R&B which is an offshoot of the blues. You gone learn today

End Thread. Was just about to post that before the New york vs Jamaica fight starts.
Its an answer we can all take pride in. No one can take all the credit. It started in Africa(like everything else in the world) and then found itself and became self aware in New York only after taking a detour in the Caribbean. So NYC is where it became what it is and announced itself to the world but the journey started a long time ago with some african dude beating on a drum while speaking.

I wouldn't even say that considering AAs been cutoff from our African roots more than any other group in the diaspora. Hip hop is a direct result of our experience in this country

I know my music history son and hip hop started in NYC and dj kool herc was the founding member and he was influenced by his Caribbean culture growing up which used djs to host parties. Y'all Americans seem to forget NYC has a lot of people from the islands who shaped hip hop.Disco music is an offshoot of R&B which is an offshoot of the blues. You gone learn today

Honest question.
I was of the impression it started in the boogie down.
@MoroccanBoy claims it was Jamaica..Which is it.m
it started in the usa from a strand of southern afram culture
and then mixed with afram disco culture in various areas of NYC
na, the dj'ing part is from afram disco culture
dj culture is jamaica is a direct result of them hearing afram radio dj's and the jukebox/dj's they saw in america when they came over to the usa
Breh, you know we were building amps from scratch since the 40s right?
again,this was all inspired by their love for afram radio dj's

Spoken word comes from Africa. DJing is an entirely Western concept.
Spoken word beget Rapping but is not Rapping. Just like the banjo comes from the African Sahel and beget the Blues but Malian music isn't the Blues which is a creolized artform.
Idk why folks have issues admitting how influence and cultural exchange happens in the diaspora.
