ONCE AGAIN...what the youth of that time in those particular areas in The Bronx, NYC was about was the "funky breakdown" part of the song, and it made them go crazy on the floor...but, the parts, most times were every short! That is when a few DJs (NOT jus' Kool Herc) started try'na beat the funky breakdown part of the song back to keep it goin' like a loop effect. You had Kool DJ Dee who was wit' Disco King Mario [who Herc watched]! Dee's little brother, DJ Tyrone The Mixologist (RIP) was actually the first to "rub" the record which is "scratchin'" the record...NOT Grandwizzard Theodore (who I love)! But, "hip hop" really had nothing to do wit' "rappin'" even though Pigmeat Markham's "Here Comes The Judge" was a heavy influence...that beat, and then the rhymin'...but, the youth was more spit'n like The Last Poets at first over breaks...or with Coke La Rock's case (first MC...a member of Kool Herc's "The Herculoids" sound crew)...he was jus' shoutin' people out at the party, and roll call, and if someone's mother or father came to the entrance talkin' about: "Tell Leroy Jackson's azz be better bring his azz home NOW...he know he got school in the morning!"...those type of announcements...basically, a "master of ceremony" (emcee, or M.C., MC). It was Kid Creole and his younger, Grandmaster Melle Mel who really "changed" the MC game...claimed they started because their older sister was a poetess. They was like 1975, and then DJ Casanova Fly aka Grandmaster Caz came with his partner, the first Puerto Rican DJ, DJ Disco Wiz [this is before the Cold Crush Brothers days]. Mel, Caz, and Creole came with the more complex rhymes and flows...Grandmaster Melle Mel and Kid Creole are famed for being the original members of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Flash was the ONE who made the shit work when he started making the records blend in a more perfectly looped format. I don't know what Detroit was doin' at that time, but I don't really think it was what was goin' on in The Boogie Down Bronx, NYC!!! Forgive me...

Well damn. This didn’t cover anything 🥴😂 I literally learned nothing. It went from her saying techno was growing in the 80s, to the Hip Hop Shop in the mid 90s, to 2020 in just 30 seconds lol. He asked what’s the earliest Hip Hop artist/song she remembers from Detroit and she couldn’t even answer that 🤦🏽‍♂️ her answer was “they was dancing a lot at the time” 😂😂😂😂 I’m not gon lie, this video lightweight pissed me of lol

What became "hip hop" was all about the "breakbeats"...and the DJs spinnin' them! I am sure Motown/Tamla/Gordy/Soul/Rare Earth/etc. had some funky breaks in their songs that the youth of that early 1970s moment in certain parts of The Bronx got down to...but THAT is where it started. Rap was already here in the 1920s with Lucille Bogans "Shave 'Em Dry", and all that...graffiti has been here probably since the beginning of time...what was call'd "breakin'" based off of James Brown's "Give It Up Or Turn Them Loose" 'n probably before was around like '71. So, all them elements was attached to them breakdown parts of the song, and the B-boy/B-girl fashion and culture of those particular youth at that time, and in that area. The Bronx DO NOT claim what Motown did!!!
