Who the hell said that?
I completely ignore them, some of them just want a reaction. Like who cares about Dominicans like that lets be real?
yes we did. Known fact. Also some of the biggest contributors to the genre. Biggie just to name one. The whole fukking trap scene just to name 2.
I most definetly am African American. Deal with it.gif
what?! Them dudes gassed off some bodegas (which are now being taken over by Arabs)damn near every black group in America has a higher income than Dominicans and that's a factDude actually said Domincan income in the USA is higher than blacks.
exactly when your talking to African Americans your talking to a culture that went from being slaves to among the most famous influential people on the planet. A'lot of these cultures that diss us cant say the sameI completely ignore them, some of them just want a reaction. Like who cares about Dominicans like that lets be real?
Sorry, if you're Jamaican that's cool but yall ain't pioneer HipHopThere are more traceable Afram influences in Ska, Reggae, Rocksetady and what came to be Dancehall than anything clearly Jamaican in Afram music.
Stop breh ,we gone through this before. Just search IllmaticDelta's postsJust finishing up with work and I see the fukkery hasn't stopped lol. Again, I'm all for productive discourse, but let's chill with all the disrespect and name calling. You don't see me coming at ya'll sideways so you can miss me with the africans were talking slick in 2012 mess.
but back to your point.. Hip hop was more or less invented/founded by DJ Kool Herc. DJ Kool Herc was born in Jamaica and is not an African-American per the definition used in this thread. So in essence, hip hop was invented by a Jamaican. Do you agree with this or no? If not, why?
Now you guys are gonna act like they don't remember those 2012-2013 anti AA threads. Do you need more receipts?

Hip hop was a community driven/created artform
there wasnt no one person that came about and said "let there be light" and hip hop was created
Its influences were almost completely AA
This is the reason alotta 70's disco djs are when it comes to kool herc and hip hops creation

This Saturday [August 18th 2001] Hip Hop's pioneers will be coming out in full force to pay tribute to the memory of one of its legendary DJs who passed away a few years back-Disco King Mario. We often hear about the achievements of people like Bambaataa, Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash, but very little is said about some of the other pioneers who also laid down much of the foundation we now call Hip Hop. Cats like Pete DJ Jones, Grand Wizard Theodore, the late DJ Flowers and of course Mario were key architects.
Disco King Mario never released no records. He didn't produce no major rap stars. I'm not even sure if he ever toured around the world once Hip Hop became known world wide. However, for those of us who were around back in the beginning days of the 70s, Disco King Mario who lived upstairs from my man DJ Paradise of X-Clan over in the Bronxdale Housing projects, was a household name. He was known for throwing some of Hip Hop's best jams and keeping the party going. He was staple in early Hip Hop whose name and his crew Chuck Chuck City was mentioned on many of the early tapes. One of Mario's unwritten contributions was mentioned on many of the early tapes. One of Mario's unwritten contributions was how he gave
Afrika Bambaattaa a helping hand. He used loan Bam his dj equipment. Later on Bam would face Mario in his first official DJ battle. Back in the early days it was Disco King Mario who was at the top of heap and the man to beat
Today its hard for people to understand the significance of the DJ. When Hip Hop first began it wasn't the rapper who was in charge. It was the DJ. It was the DJ came to symbolized the African drummer. It was the DJ who kept the pace and set the tone. It was the DJ who rocked the crowd and was the supreme personality who garnered the spot light. Everyone else including the rappers were secondary. Cats from all over came to your party based upon who was deejaying. Hence when Disco King Mario's name was mentioned cats came from all over because he was the man. He was the type of cat who simply had that magic and command of the crowd. Sadly he passed away before his time, unknown to many of today's bling bling artists who benefit from the culture he helped laid down.
If you happen to be in New York, you may see a flyer being circulated around that is reminiscent of the old school flyers from back in the days. 'By Popular demand DJ Cool Clyde, Lightnin Lance, The Nasty Cuzins, Quiet Az Kept Present their first annual Old School Reunion & Picnic'. It lets you know that the celebration for Disco King Mario is taking place Saturday August 18th at Rosedale 'Big Park' in the Bronx. The Big Park itself is legendary. When I was a kid living on Croes Avenue, we were absolutely forbidden to go across the street to the Big Park. That was because the Big Park was where many of many of the early Black Spades used to hang out. The Spades at that time were the largest and most notorious gang at that time. They eventually evolved to become The Mighty Zulu Nation. As for the Big Park, it eventually became the place where Disco King Mario would eventually throw many of his early gigs.
And since your speaking on the culture of hip hop, where in the south did Graphite come from?
And where in the south did blending record ms on turntables and utilization of break beats originate from?
I've never met a southerner to make a claim to any of that.
Southern blacks had their own culture that was very influential as far as our food, jazz music etc but as far as Hip Hop culture as a whole? Nah
