Who gives a fuck where it comes from, just bounce like a bastard.

[AxeVEVO]

1978- "Cowboy" coined the term while teasing a friend who had just joined the Army, by scat singing the words hip hop in a way that mimicked the rhythmic cadence of marching soldiers. He later worked the "hip hop" cadence into a part of his stage performance. His group performed with disco artists who would refer to this new type of MC/DJ produced music by calling them "hip hoppers". The name was originally meant as a sign of disrespect , but soon came to identify this new music and culture.

[sezone1212]

The jamican style on Hip Hop is unique. This type of music can only be sang with the Jamaican accent.

[Orillie627]

this is the only rap music for little kids cuz it got no swearing' in it

[GANJAEL]

The concept of HIP HOP comes Straight FROM JAMAICA , Check DJ KOOL HERC and KING STITT the first MC to understand the ROOT of HIP HOP , It's Music History

[BenThuAlot]

@GANJAEL DAMN STRAIT IT DOES GR8 POST...BOOGIE DOWN, I WISH I WAS A HERCULOID LOL

[funkapotamus1]

[funkapotamus1]

@funkapotamus1

 HAVING FUN************

[momentalrecords]

@funkapotamus1 

[77musica]

@GANJAEL exactly! West Indians, especially Jamaicans basically created HIP HOP.

[mzsimba]

@GANJAEL i'm proud to jamaican lol

[Mademan281]

@GANJAEL yea I knew that u are so right because hip hop came from when jamaicans did what was call "toasting"

[conthemon]

@GANJAEL Just because some of the founding fathers of hip hop are Jamaican, doesn't mean it started as a jamaican concept. what kind of reasoning is that?! Hip Hop, if anything, has it's roots in Jazz!

[GANJAEL]

@conthemon YO MAN CHECK THE VID OF THE MAN CALL " KING STITT " . When I say concept , I mean speaking over an instrumental with a turntable & a microphone... GHETTO MUSIC MAN.... DJ KOOL HERC as created the breakbeat ( creating a hip hop instrumental mixing two funk track with his turntables ) to reproduce the face B ( version / dub ) of the jamaican tunes where the toasters can express themselves... But the real Root of hip hop , reggae , jazz , funk & all you want in creation is AFRICA

[77musica]

@conthemon nonsense, Jamaicans were rocking mics in the yards back in the 1940s, way before usa assholes knew about toasting and flowing, fuck ignorance, if it wasn't for Caribbean people the world would be a boring shit hole...more to come...stay tune idiots

[Jamflip81]

@77musica You're wrong also, started in west Africa, story's were told over a drum beat rhythmically but the whole hiphop/rap started in New York, the art of rapping has been around for longer than anyone can say.

[RudyGotSUS]

@GANJAEL RUDE BOYS!!

Oi! Oi! Oi!

[Igotcha06]

@GANJAEL And Africa

[PeacemakerShaun1011]

@GANJAEL From my research, Hip Hop is rooted more in Jazz, Rhythm & Blues and Funk more than Reggae. Especially with its political implications following Civil Rights and originating in the Bronx. Stitt is more reggae to me, but DJ Kool Herc was definite prominent in Hip Hop. And while his Jamiacan background influenced him, it was the social context that allowed Hip Hop to start in his American home, the Bronx, and not to mention G Flash. Not trying to argue, just putting in my two cents :)

@bripell62 Kid, real Hip Hop in the book right? Wow ... how stupid you must be to write something like that. Stupid and greedy. STFU kid, you even don't know what he HIP HOP is.

[bigsexy2891]

I LOVE YALL WISE AND FREE AND THANKS FOR PUTTING A TWIST OF REGGAE IN IT!!!! LEGO AND TALL YOUT

[bigsexy2891]

I LOVE YALL, THESE BVROTHERS PUT TRENTON NJ ON THE MAP

[nightmathzombieethan]

WHAT????

You mean there's rap that isn't just a bunch of N-bombs and bullshit boasts?

Oh, wait...they stopped making REAL rap back in the 90's...My Bad, I forgot.

[clickidyclack]

This was my favorite joint off that album...

[CAPITALSKILL]

Classic, hell yea 

[llshaker]

The good ole' days of rap.

[scoutinternational]

@jamflip Yeah but you can see it the other way too, if you were an artist and wrote a song (say, Human Nature by Michael Jackson) and you heard Nas sample it on a record (It Ain't Hard to Tell), you'd probably want at least a portion of the money the song made....

[scoutinternational]

@jamflip Yeah. Artists caught on that their music was being used and started demanding royalties. Some were ok w/it but others went so far as to sue rappers sampling their work. (Biz Markie's "All Samples Cleared" was reference to being sued by Steve Miller for using "Fly Like an Eagle" without permission.

Once samples got too expensive, artists started chopping or trying to play stuff out themselves. Some producers like Primo were able to make it work, but most lacked the musicianship.

[eazybihi11]

real ..................... 

[joshuarosenblatt]

old school 5%ers hehehe Culture freedom's in the house!

[BlahBlahMofo]

insane!

[scoutinternational]

anyone know who the 2 reggae artists are in this video? its been driving me crazy

[TrentonSwag]

pure heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tobyn123]

why dont we get beats like this today... instead of all that fruityloops shite!

[scoutinternational]

@tobyn123 a. rappers stopped taking chances because there's no money in it b. producers couldn't use samples, and now they have to rely on subpar musicianship to make beats. c. nobody makes beats using the low pass filter anymore, its all chopping shit up and so there's less bass. d. basically everything is worse than it was 20 years ago.

Oh and no SP 1200's its all keyboards.

[DaFuckyouat]

@tobyn123 Making beats with computer software is cheaper and takes significantly less skill than doing it they way it was done before. The way recorded music was done before was more expensive, time-consuming and demanded more skill. I think the old way of making recorded music forced musicians to make less shitty beats and better music. Overnight successes were rare so musicians had to work at what they were doing for years.
