They were really really sad and you know dealing with a lot, you know, you know personally Indeed, you know, you just captured the essence of that, you know celebrities Especially lots of expectations of them, you know, you never really know what they're battling And it just really reminds me of some things I read about emotional intelligence and how You ask people how are you and the automatic responses? Oh, fine. Good. Great Well, you never really know because it ought to take more Directed questioning to really find out how a person feels inside So regardless of the success that you see regardless of the smile you see, you know, it's People feel deep right and it's important for us to know that and to care more to love more Exactly because you never really know what the person's battling but the person Robin Williams fantastic actor comedian You know people really talk about one of his talents being able to just improvise and create characters and a sport for the moment It's just literally love Jumanji the 1995 film He he featured in that and as well as so many other great movies in history Too bad he passed on in the same history Now, let me go back to the year 1973 On this same history, I would say hip-hop was born. I mean, that's what the records have shown So there was this uh, jamaican He jamaican dj. His name was dj. Cool. Her He's known as the founder and the father of hip-hop. Now. What happened was that Did this dj, right? He would play music to crowds at a house party because he usually started with like house parties He would play play music at house parties and he noticed that when songs come on, you know, especially funk style of music When these songs come on, there are particular Pats of that music that come on and then the crowd just go wowed when the particular parts just come on He noticed, you know, he was able to take the time to observe the reaction of the crowd at certain parts of a song So what he did was that he began to isolate those parts of the song and he will repeat those beats And that's how he basically, you know, created his own style of hip-hop and that's how you know when you just played those repeated beats People really went wild at those parties and you know It created this cultural movement where people just come together, you know Come together in the houses and then they would just rhyme just rhyme to those beats and that's how really hip-hop was born DJ Kooher was a formidable Interesting man when like you cannot talk about the evolution of hip-hop without talking about DJ Kooher Especially how, you know, I mentioned him He was able to use those beats to figure out that this is a new style This is something else he could create and I was able to evolve it and he just changed over time People adding their own style to it people, you know, evolving rhythm lyrics regarding rap music And that's how hip-hop was born Yeah, you know, and of course this is in the 70s 1973 Yeah, eventually gave birth to, you know, the you know, Ron DMC's or the public enemy You know beastie boys You know, and whichever, you know 80s hip-hop group that you can remember, you know Ice cube and iced tea and, you know, the ones that we have today that are completely ruining hip-hop, you know You know I think that's a new style totally though I saw something about Snoop Dogg making a mockery of the new style of rap But that's that's that's like for you things would change and evolve over time. What do you like it's not? And people will coin. Oh, I'm not doing afro hip-hop Punk they coin their own genres and They have a right. I mean, I think I think it's also understanding that there is a market for it You know the market for the likes of the Wu-Tang clan and you know And that and that era may not be as much as it is today You know, they still are legends Ron DMC is still a legend, you know, this of course Snoop is still a legend There's two, you know, very very many of them that are still legends to this day But I think the market is changing the sound is changing a little bit And you know, the world has to of course the hip-hop world has to of course, you know Move with the times that we're in not everybody would accept, you know, the new age hip-hop, you know, the likes of Migos and and and the like, but you know, it is what it is It is what it is and yes, if you love hip-hop music know your history guys DJ Coolhurst, remember the name he basically developed the blueprints for hip-hop music And that's it for you on today in history.
