Hip Hop is a Revolution Won!!!

[upnorffnikka]

[pmsan29]

They ought to erect a statue of this man (herc) in the south bronx.

That would be so awesome.

[juswolf22]

bronx is were hip hop exploded from, but how do we really know thats were it was born??????? their could've been cats in LA or GA rhyming or rockin parties too

[hagnuj]

shut up and enjoy.

[peterwo2e]

@juswolf22 maybe i could help here i was in the marine corps back in the late 70s i travel to cali and to some states in the mid west. and to answer that i never heard or saw hip hop in these places, when cool hurc faded back in the late 70s hip hop had no set name yet. at least to my knowledge. i have not heard no cats yet! outside NYC claiming hip hop status back in the early 70s.

[bugstrut]

@juswolf22 there's more to the Hip hop subculture than just rhyming. The Bronx is the place where MCs first started rhyming over breakbeats, which were cut up back and forth, by DJs like Herc and Flash. The Bronx is where the first B-boys started spinning on their backs. The Bronx is where Graff writers first started ptting their art on the side of trains (okay, well that might've actually been Manhattan, but still, you get the idea).

nice ...Kool did it.The Godfather of this wonderful culture.

[MotorolaSurfer]

"wonderful culture" - a culture that has brought denegration to women and glorifies crime & drugs?

i wish he had never been born.

[funkyfreshzorro]

oh man you wrong, when the people inveted it, Did not want to about drugs etc. then some people inveted it, beceuse could made money,,,!

[SMartdbp]

What your talking about is called corporate media. That is not the Hip Hop Culture you see on MTV, Much Music, whatever. You MIGHT see .2% of actual Hip Hop culture on there, but its for a split second in a sprite commercial with a guy doing airflares.

Anyways, thats enough from me..

[KnuckleBallz]

Do a research.

[peterwo2e]

misinform! please research b 4 u speak, late 70s early 80s i saw some raising stars, and drugs and money was not mention, for that mater if i could remember correctly it was in one of his rap that rob base said he use no drugs, and nobody refer to woman as female dogs, so please that was a very ignorant comment.
