And left learning a lesson...

Rican’s I’ve heard are the least c00nish if the Caribbean people

There's a difference between saying THIS, and saying hip hop wouldn't exist with PRs. I mean what kinds dumb shyt is that?

I’ll agree with that.

 

[Samori Toure]

Don’t forget to disqualify Charlie Chase, like 30% of UZN, the majority of the MPC & the majority population of the South Bronx.



Hip Hop started WHEN?
Aight my g.

In the 1960's.

 

[BlackPrint]

In the 1960's.

You’re both incorrect.

Rican’s I’ve heard are the least c00nish if the Caribbean people

It’s hit or miss.. they not as bad as Dominicans but some of them, especially when they move to the suburbs, be taking on a whole racist Italian persona, shyt is scary.

James Brown sees you.

You better be glad JB is gone, because if he was here right now he would beat your ass for not knowing that he invented Hip Hop. Y'all keep bringing up Herc, but he didn't come around until the 70's. James Brown was doing Hip Hop back in the 60's and 70's. People have been copying his shyt for so long that y'all dudes don't even realize that James Brown invented that shyt.

It is just like Moonwalking. People think that it came around in the 80's and that breakdancers and Michael Jackson had something to do with it. However, it was actually tap dancers like Bill Bailey that created that shyt back in the 50's.

are we leading into another HATE on nyc thread
y’all mutherfukkers gotta STOP this shyt ........

Puerto ricams have not contributed anything to hip hop lol they were just the first non blacks to take a glimpse.

And before someone says “breakdancing”. Older Puerto Rican’s called it “Moreno (black) dancing” as a slur.

It ain't no hate on NYC. It is an acknowledgement that Hip Hop started with James Brown.

The problem with folks is that Eddie Murphy made James Brown the butt of a joke and that is how a lot of people remember James Brown. However, James Brown's musical impact has been huge.

at the very beginning - almost all of the older black R&B / funk / musician wanted no parts in hip hop

so how did james brown start a culture he most likely didn’t fukk with

My G if the most basic unit of hip hop is the DJ and how he cuts records, nd the MC compliments the DJ, then how does James Brown invent hip hop with neither a DJ nor an MC?

And the moonwalk is NOT a breakdancing move and has NOTHING to do with hip hop.
Hip Hop started in New York by people from New York, was refined in New York & reflects the street culture of the boroughs of New York.

And for what it’s worth, what you’re trying to attribute to James Brown is better attributed to Gil Scott Heron & Curtis Mayfield
