Clip from BBC documentary about how the english language evolves. Block party in Philadelphia. I think Automation sampled a clip of this for one of their eps in 1991.

  • I been saying hip hop started in Phillyt because hip hop mc's in Philly are much deeper.

And to this day we still have some of the best Grafitti writers around Philly styles have been copy and duplicated for years but no one wants to give us our prop

  • Gill Scott Harone and The Last Poets Started HIP-HOP, James Brown and George Clinton Started Hip-Hop! The Drums In Africa was the begining of Hip-Hop!

  • @jacob7207 Schoolly came after us! We started in 1979!

  • Yooo! I remember when this came out!

    

  • @MrParryp Not eevn Parry. I use to hear Jockos raps in the 70s to "Ain't no stopping us now" That was in the mid to late 70s. King Tim was definately not the 1st to do it in NY. He was just the first to go on wax. Eddie Cheba, Hollywood, Starski and Coke la Rock did it first.
