fukk it
Don’t nobody give a fukk about this shyt outside a few dusty ass and terminally online acronym gang members.
A lot of that is wrong lol. The puerto Rican kids in those neighbordhoods adopted Lindy hop, jazz swing, and tap dancing moves they had seen black americans do. Stuff like this was all over TV during the 1950s and 1960s. This idea that we got break dancing from latinos is a fabrication that more or less erases black american swing dancing, lindy hop, and tap dancing culture. Essentially, carribean and latino immigrants flooded new york and absorbed the culture that was already there. Instead of telling their kids the truth they made up the lie that latinos created those dances. Ill give puerto ricans credit for ACROBATICS like the headspin. However much of the floor moves , uprock etc. came from latinos mimicking what we were already doing. See the four steps brothers:Go argue your point with the pioneer himself. Words from Afrika Bambattas own mouth back in 1996:
I keep telling people all the time that Latin Freestyle and Hi Energy music is part of Hip Hop. I keep telling people that a lot of the early freestyle producers were original Hip Hoppers. I keep telling them how the Puerto Ricans took the fast uptempo break beats from songs like 'Apache' and developed freestyle.
One thing we all got in common is your color, which is Black and Latino, which is our family.
You have to look at the fact that Hip Hop is under attack. It's not just Hip Hop but Black people, Latino people and all people are under attack for different things.

Dude is carribean. I posted videos. Show me where in latino culture they were dancing like this prior to making contact with black americans? Ill wait.
I told you to go argue with the Hip Hop pioneer who said it himself. I'm not going back and forth with you.
Words from a Hip Hop pioneer who set the foundation > A no name having poster on a messageboard that left no impact in the streets of NYC or Hip Hop culture.
Tariq is failing at his attempt to bait Joe but Joe is playing it smart and just ignoring him because Joe won't help promote Tariqs project by acknowledging him. Joe is more popular and he knows any response helps Tariq. Joe, who is hip hop, has no obligation to acknowledge someone who isn't hip hop.
Take notes on who the tethers side withFat Joe giving acronym gang the silent treatment is brilliant. Acronym gang has no idea how insignificant they and dear leader are IRL.
