History of the birth Hip Hop Culture until 1991 prt1

[bigbeatsnw]

@usaf317 "group of black kids rush the store beat up the person working inside and take what they want" I am assuming you saw this on a YouTube video and base a whole culture on an isolated incident. It's pretty rich you calling people ignorant. I am also going to assume since you can't differentiate between a culture and the hoodlums that listen to the music it creates that you are the definition of the word ignorant.

[rotttenone]

all hip hop culture started in bronx

[breezwonder]

Hip Hop is Black Music/Culture. Non Blacks call it "Universal Music" cause they wanna be down with what we've created

[usaf317]

@breezwonder i call it ignorant! we see this culture every time a group of black kids rush a store and beat up the person working inside and then steal whatever they fell like taking. thats just one aspect of your so called hip hop culture.

[HybridD91]

@breezwonder Latinos were involved in creating Hip Hop as well, how you missed that in the first few seconds of this video is beyond me. Hip Hop is music for the disadvantaged. That is why in the poorer areas of foreign countries, Hip Hop is growing. It isn't a coincidence.

[breezwonder]

@HybridD91 No Latinos gave later Contributions to Hip Hop. But it was already in play since 1972 when it was just Blacks. Type in "Latinos trying to steal Hip Hop from Blacks"

[TonyStarksBodyGaurd]

@breezwonder Latinos trying to steal hip hop from blacks LMAO. Hey I bet if I type "big foot" i will find some "facts" on that too. TAKI 183 and Tracy 168 are both white male graffiti artists who had a huge impact on that pillar of hip hop. I don't understand why you believe black people are the souls creators and have exclusive rights to hip hop. Artists like Kool Herc and Africka Bambaataa had the biggeset impacts but there were Latinos who helped in the creation of hip hop.

[callumbrowns]

90's hip hop was too sick, im 20 years of age but love 2pac and loads of other artists.

[Germ303]

@callumbrowns yo fam im 14 i know various of hip hop mcs .

[callumbrowns]

@Germ303 nuff respect bro

[Germ303]

@callumbrowns peace homie !

[gotflava1]

Why this video doesnt have more views beats me. For all of us that were living in the Bx at the time whether as an adult or kid, all of this was just part of everyday life. It was very perplexing why this thing called "hip hop" took off so fast and so furious outside of New York City. I can still remember the days when you had breakers or b-boys in their fat laced Addidas and tight shirts spinning on their heads over some broken down cardboard.

[LilaSilk]

Don't hold on, or copy the past, but respect and cherish the idols of the beginning of this culture called Hip Hop, and give Hip Hop the chance to flow and proceed its evolvement.

[LilaSilk]

Every culture which doesn't allow evolvement dies.

You can call a certain time "the beginning of a style" that's when a certain style becomes popular and spreads, but today you should not say this is Hip Hop and that's not, because the people being in this culture now, haven't lived and experienced what the people did back then.

An artist is inspired and expresses issues that occur right now and here. And very often their work and importance is understood only decades after.

Don't hold on, o

[breezwonder]

Hip Hop is Black Music/Culture.Non Blacks call it "Universal Music" cause they wanna be down with what we've created.

[RHYMePRIMe]

this is what the new school really needs to pay close attention too..

[LEZTHEGOON]

why would someone dislike  this

[frozents1980]

@LEZTHEGOON becuz its wrong rap has nothing to do with hip-hop i mean the only thing right about this video is that rap took roots from african heritage becuz thats where the mc was made when afrikans were telling folkloric tales rhyming to the sound of drums this was known as the act of Emceing and later on in the future when hip-hop was made and the Mc's were introduced into it later on the mc's got into coorporate intereste and became known as rappers wich differed them alot from Mc's

[HipHopDontStop46]

great post

[Bootlegger718]

Hip Hop is not a "Black culture", People need to learn what they are talkin about before they speak on it. Hip Hop is grafitti, breakin, djj'ing, and mc'ing. There were more Ricans in grafetti and breakin while there were more black people involved in dj'ing and mc'ing. Dont believe me, just look at the original rock steady crew, nyc breakers or most any old school breakin crew. So, its not a black only culture. If you wantto be picky about it, its more of an urban culture.

[HimeBerrii]

@Bootlegger718 FOOL DUMBASS! There are BLACK PEOPLE IN PUERTO RICO AND MANY KNOW OF THEIR AFRICAN ROOTS! Hip Hop is influnced by BLACK CULTURE AND OUR ANCESTORS! if you don't believe me take a music class.

[Bootlegger718]

@HimeBerrii You show your intelligence with your word selection ! Like I said, LOOK AT THE OLDSCHOOL BREAKIN CREWS THEN TELL ME, DO THEY LOOK BLACK OR HISPANIC ? OST WHERE HISPANIC ! HIP HOP WAS CREATED BY PEOPLE IN THE INNER CITIES BEING OPPRESSED, NOT ABOUT COLOR ONLY !THE SOUTH BX IS/WAS OVER 50% HISPANIC AND SOMETHING LIKE 34% AFRICAN ANERICAN ! LIKE JUST ICE SAID "I KNOW,I WAS THERE! " So enlighten me, what can you tell me from your own personal experience with hip hop in the bronx smartass

[Bootlegger718]

@Bootlegger718 After looking at your page and seeing you are only 18, I see that you simply havent been around long enough to truly understand Hip Hop.It woul;d be nice to believe that hip hop came from the mother land, but thats simply not true. Like PE said "Dont believe the Hype". All the dj's I asked you about are considerrd hip hop pioneers and even inventors. If they are in fact pioneers, that means they were at the fore front, not following someone elses lead.

[lisacobr]

@Bootlegger718 I think what @himeberri is getting

at is that the African rhythms are the root. This

African root is the foundation for Hip Hop, Salsa

Samba, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Reggae, Dancehall, The blues,

and the list goes on. 11 million Africans were stolen

during the slave trade but out of those ONLY 400 thousand

were brought to the US. The rest all went to countries in

Latin America (like Puerto Rico) so In terms of food, religion,

music (& big booties) Africa has blessed Puerto Rico.

[omfgyahh]

@lisacobr stolen?? They were sold from africans..

[lisacobr]

@omfgyahh You are correct. But that does not

let the folks who made the purchase off the hook.

Enough blame to go around for everyone. I was

just making the point of how more Africans were brought

to Latin America than the US.

[AllthingsSweet22]

@lisacobr I LOVE YOU. very SMART. keep up the GOOD WORK MY BROTHER.

[MrMaru211b]

@Bootlegger718 hey my nigga u aint lying hispanics were apart of hip hop from da start

[Bootlegger718]

@HimeBerrii If tou would have taken time to have read my original post, you would have noticed I never said hip hop wasnt inspired by african americans. I said hip hop isnt a "black only culture" ! You must be one of those people that only sees or reads what they want, what fits your agenda. Entertain me with this; who in Africa inspired Flash, Caz, Theodore, Red Alert, Chuck Chillout, Marley Marl, or Bam to mix records ? You cant because its AMERICAN, A BRONX ORIGINAL !

[HimeBerrii]

@Bootlegger718 You're an idiot! Place itself doesn't have to inspire anyone. but the people that come from whatever country in Africa bring with them things that IN FACT started generations of newly developed music.

[Bootlegger718]

@HimeBerrii Come on now, what hip hop pioneers came directly from Africa in the 70's, wait a minute NONE ! The pioneers were generations removed from Africa. Pioneer means "the first to do something", not passing along something handed down through generations. There are some coincidences like rhyming, but what about mixing on the 1's and 2's? No coincidences there, that is all american ! Where did these pioneering dj's get their inspiration? Give some evidence to support your claims.

[ahachie]

I thought he was called dj Kool Herc, not Kool dj Herc.

[buokopter]

i love p-funk.

[nbaballer230]

what bout native americans

[HimeBerrii]

@nbaballer230 what about them?

[glawz]

Muhammad Ali was mean wit the rhymes.

[midiaespacial]

i think theres a strong jamaican influence in hip hop, check out the soundsystems (like Gemini or Stereomars for example) in the mid 70´s!! jamaican rude boys freestyling on a simple base, the dj messing with the volume control and a lot of things like that that are found in american hip hop later! the gospel music is also a big influence! i am thinking in church ministers preaching or maybe the old school blues singers performing some amazing spoken word tune!

[HimeBerrii]

@midiaespacial and what is half of the jamacians? ex african slaves...

[breezwonder]

Hip Hop is BLACK Music/Culture. Its not "Universal Music" Just because its grown to be popular worldwide means nothing! Its Black Music that we created

[KameleonOfficialTv]

@breezwonder does that meanz that i have to stop being b boy and stop listenin hip hop music and im into it whole life.

Yes you created it.

But it is universal now.

becouse if its not.

that is rasistic.

and one of best rappers ever is white.

Eminem.

It is about skill not about colour.

But of course you created it and everone know that u dont need to do anythin to proove it anymore.

[ScholaroftheDay21]

@KameleonOfficialTv FUCK YOU, THAT IS OUR CULTURE AND WE DONT WANT EVERYONE IN IT. THAT IS WHY WHEN THE COME TO THE CREATORS WE WILL SEND THEM BACK. and eminien is not ONE OR EVEN CLOSE TO BEING SHIT IN RAP. he is a demented white man who hates women GO FUCK YOURSELF. YEAH, OUR ART IS UNIVERSAL BUT ITS STILL BLACK.

[thegarbeen]

@breezwonder "we", as in you included ? Thats funny because on your page it says you are 30 years old, and if i'm not mistaken hip hop started in the 70's. So I think "you" had nothing to do with the birth of hip hop.

[breezwonder]

@thegarbeen Man quit being stupid. You no what i mean. "WE" Black people

[megasword33]

@breezwonder idk man italy had hip hop before the u.s.

[breezwonder]

@megasword33 You must be crazy!

[megasword33]

@breezwonder no its true haha

[TonyStarksBodyGaurd]

@breezwonder Hip hop culture is a "Universal Language/music/style". The hip hop movement speaks for the oppressed and has been used by artist across the globe to start revolutions. The fact it has become popular worldwide means EVERYTHING. Why sit there and act like hip hop can't be shared or used by other races? By the way, Latinos were 100% involved in the creation of hip hop.

[breezwonder]

@TonyStarksBodyGaurd I believe you are getting Creation and Contribution confused! No one is denying the LATER INFLUENCES and CONTRIBUTIONS of Latinos and others, but Blacks are the creators. DJ Kool Herc and Africa Bambatta are Black bro and they created Hip Hop in 1972. Latinos gave contributions with graffiti but thats about it. Blacks were already doing different breakdancing in the 30's and Negro rhymes and hymns centuries ago. Type in "Latinos trying to steal Hip Hop from Blacks" Bantu

[TonyStarksBodyGaurd]

@breezwonder "Today a lot of the people who created hip hop, meaning blacks and Latinos, do not control it anymore". Afrika Bambaataa. He even said latinos created hip hop in the video. I think your confused by ignorance and some paranoid fear that other races are trying to "steal hip hop" from black people. No I will never type that it simply because it isn't true and it's wrong. Hip hop was created by black people nobody is denying that.

[breezwonder]

@TonyStarksBodyGaurd Again I think you are getting CREATION and CONTRIBUTION confused. Name one Latino who was there creating Hip Hop along side Kool Herc and Bambatta from the BEGINNING and I will believe you. And your not going to type it in cause you don't want to hear the truth. And you must have muissed the part where Bam said "Rap started IN the continent of Africa" @1:17

[TonyStarksBodyGaurd]

@breezwonder Again no I'm not! Do you honestly believe banging on drums and rhyming is exclusive to African American culture? Rap is also just one part of the hip hop culture. DJ Kool Herc and Bambaataa both have quotes given Latinos credit in creating hip hop. So I'm not talking out of my ass because the fathers and pioneers of hip hop say it to!

DJ Disco Wiz, The Mean Machine, Prince Whipper Whip, The Fearless Four, Rubie Dee ect ect

[breezwonder]

@TonyStarksBodyGaurd They gave the credit for CONTRIBUTIONS! nevertheless I have bettert things to do than to argue with you. Hip Hop is Black Music/Culture that the whole world wants to be down with. Just face it! Peace!

[mrohyoudidntknow]

@breezwonder So, let me get this straight. Disco, which also happened in the 70's, and also happened in New York City, was a combination of Hispanic and black collaboration of music. But NOT Hip Hop, which again, happened at the SAME time and SAME place? Think about it.

[rawistrueskool]

hiphop doesn't have any irish origins fool, Hiphop roots are directly from africa, and it spread via slavery to america, carribean and so forth

[redfireblade2000]

@ 1:40 that sounds like GoGo.

[ProtectorOn2]

Hip hop is the devils music fuck u hip hop junkies

[HimeBerrii]

@ProtectorOn2 so is rock dumbass! go away ignorance.

[funkyfreshzorro]

hmm....

Kool Tee -its not the same person like Kool DJ Dee?

So ...Was You the first block Kool Herc party in 11.08.1973?

[funkyfreshzorro]

How do you know that?

[funkyfreshzorro]

@AURORAINTHESKYYY

DJ Mr Lee, Kool Tee, Spider Man - What they did for hip hop?

[tokerfuels1]

I wrestled with a aligator

I tussled with a wale

I hand cuffed lightening

and threwthunder in jail

I murdered a rock

and hospitalised a brick

and injured a stone

Im so mean i make medicine sick

[EBlueProductions]

hip hop is life

[bigbeatsnw]

there is a difference between saying we started this and I'm proud of my heritage, and racism. I don't believe that telling white people they can't be part of my art as human or intelligent. period

-we are all have blood that runs red,

-we are all sons of adam

-We are all Hip Hop

don't forget the fifth element my brothers Knowledge.

-Enve

[Buggy702]

@bigbeatsnw Word Up!

[getback2theessence]

@bigbeatsnw

so true brother, one love

[HybridD91]

@bigbeatsnw Taking pride in something you had nothing to do with is one of the causes of racism.

[bigbeatsnw]

@HybridD91 That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. So, if you take pride in anything that happened before you were born, your a racist. If you were born in the eighties forget about remembering the civil rights movement take no pride in MLK or Malcolm X, take no pride in Rosa Parks, if you do, you will be a racist... Taking pride in something you had nothing to do with, I would argue breaks down barriers

[Devanarestylez]

I am Hip Hop.

[HalSamuel]

What most heads don't know is that hip-hop started in my house in 99'

[yegsmitty22]

Hip-hop is culture is for all to enjoy. There is no color, no creed, just love for music/dance/art. Hip-Hop is American and it's everlasting. Even in Europe they killin' it!

[rapmatical5]

I'm white but you coming in an angry way. Why? Say something new breez.... Everyone knows hiphop/rap is a brown culture & will always be.

PEACE!!

[labtekwonder]

no.

Hip Hop is a Black culture.

dont let it fuck with u.

all civilization came from Black folks.

your welcome.

:)

[rapmatical5]

I was just trying to be smart..... I'm not red or black, i'm brown from the boogie down. KRS1.

[kastie]

well.. in my country hip hop was started for white caracas people. (i live in venezuela)

[Skeletonwitharaygun]

@labtekwonder

"all civilization came from Black folks"

LMAO!

Bullshit.

[Z1ng1s]

i can't beleave it! Hip hop have changed so much nowadays!!

[breezwonder]

Hip Hop keeps black people down.

[iman5497]

@breezwonder maybe Hip-Hop today lol Hip-Hop in 1985-1995 didn't keep me down and I'm Black :)

[kingpin815]

Was Hip-Hop MAde in November 12, 1974 or was it August 11 1973?

[labtekwonder]

The culture of Hip Hop was born on November 12th, 1974.

Herc had a party for his sister on August 11th, but it wasnt a culture; it was a party.

[danroduw06]

Afrika Bambaata forgot to mention that hip hop also has its origins in the Scottish tradition of flyting.

[ThrowbackSoul]

flyting? Never head of it until now. I think this argument along with the Scottish influence on African-American Gospel music is a tenuous link to say the least. A common occurence in different cultures? Perhaps a better explanation than the legacy of brutal, inhumane, racist genocidal plantation owners and overseers. But a interesting debate nonetheless.

[AllthingsSweet22]

@ThrowbackSoul that is a LIE. WHITES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIP HOP. IT IS WEST AFRICAN.

[abulkhair77]

@ThrowbackSoul

Yeah I agree with you, those kind of occurences happen, but should not be taken into account, just like I know my culture ( I'm Kazakh, lol no Borat) and our culture we had this thing from ancient times where two poets would each take a guitar-like instrument play a bit and start cleverly dissing each other's cities or personalities, so that way you could say Kazakhs started battle mcing, but I don't agree with that, because it's just a coincidence.

[Motionedout]

@ThrowbackSoul Well, at the very least I'd say there are parallels, and if there were direct connections, it's hardly far-fetched. The Scottish were in America too, and those still in Scotland weren't all rich, well-off people either, just look at the early life of (Scotsman) David Livingstone...also look at the African influence on the English language and American culture, there were religions, words, foods, ideas, music, and people mixing between what we think of as "white" and "black".

[zerohero35]

Actually no, thats like saying someone played the guitar in England, and they have a relation to the blues music of america.

Hip Hop colture is from African Americans. Then spread out to everyone.

[Khultan]

@danroduw06 You're trippin'.

[77musica]

@danroduw06 fuck scottland

[TheLastGreatOne]

it's crazy how these new cats messin it up

[onlyrealhiphop12]

[chinita41]

[foxy1xx]

[Z1ng1s]
