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

@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!

@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.

@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!!

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

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
