Look at how these people steal black culture, and alter the history to suit everybody.

All that scratch' making me itch :D

I lived in a cheap apartment in the Bronx with my mother. It was all we could afford at the time when I first came to N.Y.C. I was a skinny white girl-I stuck out. You know what though? I was completely accepted and I remember this music, these parties in the street. I have the goosebumps thinking about it.

Thank you for this video love........rose

Get your fact straight RAP came from a white girl name blondie, who had the first RAP song called RAPture, even DR DRE said himself, "ppl dnt know there history of music" and gave props to blondie for making RAP known. So it not a african american thing, but it is a message in it own ways, music will be music. No matter how it sung it the message that counts. Didn't mean to offend anyone or start any drama

[ganzitoism]

@crazycoocoo100 Well you sure the fuck did!! I am highly offended that you could even begin to say that Debbie Harry from Blondie started "rap". I don't give a fuck what the over-rated Dr. Dre says. Do you have any idea how many rap records were recorded before Blondie did that admittedly embarrassing verse on "Rapture"? The shit you said pissed me off because once again when white people copy our culture they are credited for discovering something "new"!! you are fuckin' CRAZY!!

[mrohyoudidntknow]

@ganzitoism He didn't mean nothing by it. All he meant was that the pos rap that was bad, was made cool when a white girl sung it. Rapture, first rap song to be in the top charts. There you go, you ungrateful piece of shit!!! We made rap popular for blacks. :)

I don't WANT to claim rap/hip hop. I can't stand the shit to be honest.

[Legacychildren]

@crazycoocoo100 simplicity is key

its just poertry

[vvyperr7]

hip hop is of black culture! Hip hop is the culture rap is the message to the black community aleast that's what it supossed to be, now it's just all off course do to white corporate interist! Merged with all the false,fake hip hop followers it's now headed in the wrong direction intentionaly! In years to come we won't be able to claim hip hop as our culture anymore! Just watch! Alot of these banwaggen jumpers need to take a course in hip hop 101 before they start poisoning da game as they r now

[LatinPercussion]

0:30 - lol I don't think this is from 1974...

[iqmom2]

5:20 was dope

[Bboyhivan]

4:20 minutes the bastard who is singing is going well lit amiss marihuano jajajajaja

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

@:30 lets keep it accurate...That was NOT 1974!!!!

[SpeakWordz]

One person was born Def.

[RYLU416]

lol rap started in africa

[Khultan]

This is why cats like Schooly-D, from Philadelphia, coming out with a record called 'I don't like rock n roll', is an example of someone doesn't know about the music that he got with. This is real. These fucks don't know the history of what they're jumping on. Even west coast dudes be twisting things up. And I'm from the western side of the states. Anyway, my rant is a slow boil, this documentary is a gem.

[Khultan]

I HATE documentaries like this, they throw and mix in footage and accounts of time that never happened together, for example, the caption 'The Bronx 1974' and then the video of a 1983-84 clip. come on now.

[Khultan]

 This might've been brought up by somebody else, a lot of somebody else's, but I'm trying to dig this: How does a guy as old as that dude who calls himself 'Normski' take on that belongs to a member of Rock Steady Crew? Can somebody answer this.

[Kousaburo]

I plagarised this to death for my college assignment.

Fuck you Liverpool Community College for stealing 3 grand off me.

[photonprojector]

@Kousaburo you had a college course to study rapping? you deserve to pay for it!

[Kousaburo]

@photonprojector LOL! No my freind, I had to do a report on the history of hip hop. I saw this and just re-wrote it. If you copy and paste from Wikipedia you get caught and auto-failed. So I just listed key events and individuals as they appeared in this documentary, throw in a few quotes and pictures for padding aaand... Bingo! Full marks!

[photonprojector]

@Kousaburo good work then bro :)

[ani1616]

Rap is so dead now it sad the illumnaist have used it to down grade our people. Wake up black America,love from sierra leone

[Shemassault]

@ani1616 no it wasn't illuminati that brought hip hop down. it was GREED.

[Blue18Cat]

Hip-hop was started solely by blacks not latinos...latinos were jus there.

[licriss]

@Blue18Cat lol, that's racist and ignorant.

[bugstrut]

@Blue18Cat That might've been the case with Rap and Turntablism, but Latinos definately played their part in starting B-boyin' and Graffiti Art.

[Blue18Cat]

@bugstrut No they didn't do shit but show up n try 2 take credit jus like hite ppl n asians do. N NY it's always been the latinos wit the latinos n the blacks with the blacks. Ur the ignorant one. They do anything 4 hip hop @ all. A bunch of liars that try 2 take credit for wut they didn't do 2 justify actiln black n doin wut black ppl do. No suprise. It was only that did n started the blacks with the b-boy n the graffitti. It just spread to latinos the same time it did whites

[SwAgGaRyT]

evey rapper that wants to become an MC should be required to take a written and oral test about the history of how it all started

[Coco3287]

@SwAgGaRyT Omg!!! I agree 1000000%

[Coco3287]

@SwAgGaRyT

[Coco3287]

@SwAgGaRyT  i agree 10000000%

[Wolf3fd]

@SwAgGaRyT I have to disagree with you. People listen all craps which marcet produce today, they listen only commercial music as eminem, west, snoop dogg, 50 C. And I dont even believe that eminem knows something from the roots. That´s I listen only old singers - they know why they sing

[oldskooldancemusic1]

wicked mate

[maskanio1]

thanks for the upload!

[ZionNeo1]

SERIOUSLY, JAMAICAN REGGAE DANCEHALL IS WAAAAYYYY BETTER THAN AMERICAN HIP HOP

Because hip hop evolved from reggae toasters back in the mid-1970's. The culture was brought to the Bronx but because nobody their understood Jamaican patwa they made it into pure english.

[Jahrass7]

@ZionNeo1 I feel yu... only if you mean old school reggae dancehall

The new stuff is not the same as Chaka Demus, Shabba, Capleton or their real elders like Pinchers, Yellowman ect-

I don't even listen to "Rap" cause they lost their soul

Reggae music is king!

[SwAgGaRyT]
