It’s a shame that we cannot be the original creators of anything without somebody else thinking they created it. Thank you for speaking 100% facts .❤

Protect this man at all cost. The truth has no friends

13:19 "how come black people aren't allowed to have anything for ourselves?" great question

Lord Jamar is needed

Lord Jamar is one of the last real ones left in the game 💯

It's about creation not participation. Hip-hop is a Black American creation like it or not. All of it's "elements" originates from Black American culture. Just because you come to the party with a dish doesn't mean you started the party.

Jamaicans didn’t have anything to do with hip hop most of us barely even fucked with Yankees and never paid attention to the culture or music or fashion we was rocking fishnet shirts and listening to reggae music and into clubbing hip hop was only black Americans and Puerto Ricans was guest to the culture those mfs was break dancing i came here 1979 straight from Kingston 11 into Brooklyn Newyork then we made it into jersey straight down philadelphia i was their hip hop culture was black Americans matter of fact we wasn’t even using two turntables down Jamaica back then the first time I seen a dj or sound system use two turntables was in Newyork i give credit where credit is Due

All of a sudden everyone was kumbayaing creating hip hop together... gtfoh!!!

Lord Jamar is so right about us being cool all the time with letting other cultures in, but none of those other cultures mess with us.

My real Puerto Ricans know blacks invented Hip Hop💯. Since the 40s

✔️ Logically, look into the current Puerto Rican culture hip hop doesn’t dominate there. Listen to the music that was playing at their Puerto Rican day parade. Did you hear James, Brown, r n b??? No! ✔️ West Indian parade do you hear R nB hip hop? All you hear is Soca and reggae? ✔️ Logically at that time it wasn’t too much of them around to even influence crap!! The language and accents??????? How could FBA gravitated to that. They didn’t care. FBA HAD THEIR OWN STYLE, struggles, food, music to worry about others. Immigrants had to come to USA to adapt not FBA adapting into theirs where language and dialects were different

Krs been a clown. He said you must protect bambatta no matter what he did.

The annoying part is having a 16 year old in 2024 think he has more owness over the art than a 50 year old who was there .

Im a Latino and HIP HOP IS A BLACK CREATION plain and simple JAZZ is a Black creation ROCK AND ROLL is a Black creation RAP is a Black Creation Reggue is a Black Creation must I go on....with NO other participants in the creation.

Cognitive dissonance is a mental discomfort that arises when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes. This can lead to a state of tension and anxiety, as the person tries to reconcile their conflicting thoughts.

This convo is needed to keep people informed! Lord Jamar is definitely Gatekeeper for Hip Hop!

Thanks for keeping it true .

It's funny how 🇯🇲 don't go at 🇵🇷 for making Reggaeton. 🙏🏾

Lord jamar hit a grand slam with his take on this video ‼️‼️‼️‼️...FBA💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥

The God cooked on this one✊🏾🦉

Rapping and brake dancing been around 90 years.Look up Brake dancing in 1930 the Mills Brothers.Its in our young brothers DNA .THE Latinos lying

Crazy Legs said that breakin' was the "Morenos" on the documentary on Netflix. It's too late for him to switch up. Americans research and document too much for this Tethering of Black American culture.

I'm a 70's child (FBA) and I'm glad that this generation is compassionate enough to do the research. Stay strong, stay healthy and young because we're going to need it❤

This is how God's supposed to stand on their square..

He is 100% correct and that’s the end of the conversation

I love this. There's a African proverb, "Until the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be the hero". Others say it, sometimes we say it, that Black people don't stick together but, when I say that the majority of us (FBA) have been on code all over, making sure that others don't try to falsely claim what's ours when it comes to Hip Hop culture. We need to stay this way and be this way about everything.

Even as a little child back then, I always wondered how they said the Jamaicans created hip hop but I never could feel nothing about no Jamaican culture and energy radiating out of any hip hop record. I always thought this was off. The Puerto Rico /Latino claims is insulting and must always be silenced 🔕 wherever this debate pops up.

Like I said before. Where were they when we created Blues, Rock & Roll, R&B, Soul, Funk, House, Disco, Classical, Jazz etc. They knew nothing about it because there was no MTV or internet for them to watch us create any of the dances, music, style of clothes, hairstyles, slang words. All those things come from us. Nothing personal it just is what it is.

Krs 1 is nuts

EXACTLY! Stop confusing participation with creation. Hip Hop is the #1 music genre in the world due to any and everybody's consumption and participation. HOWEVER.....THE CREATION OF IT ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE BLACK AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN...FULL STOP! You can't change what already happened lol, IDK what is wrong with folks. Hip Hop was birthed out of the black man and woman experience and narrative. How the hell can you create something you have no clue on!?!? That is also not being said, it was birthed from a place only BLACK MEN AND WOMEN had in this country. Stop the insanity. There is no more back n forth on this, the truth doesn't need defending. We are gonna say what the truth is and leave it at that!

Most of Pete Rock catalogue is based from FBA music. Nothing JA about his music. Hes also known as “SouL Brother” where did he get that name from??

*Str8 Facts!*

Keep speaking the facts lord we black Americans created hip-hop and everything else that is going on in America all the genres Keep speaking the facts God

Thank you Jamar for clearing that up!!!

You broke the Hip Hop debate down to the last compound and component!!!!! Teach on!!!!!!

100% truth, 20 more years, Eminem created hip hop 😂

There’s nothing new under the sun. We must understand why we are always the focus, no matter what is going on and infinite amounts of money is spent to maintain the secret. Much love and respect to the community.👑

The way LJ used the conception analogy...brilliant.

The god 🙌🏽 lord Jamar stood tall respect

I lost respect for Busta and KRs1 with this topic. FBA influenced everything in our proximity.

100 % fact's thank you so much!

Keep speaking the truth my brotha.

TY Mike❤

KRS-One's philosophy on the conception of Hip Hop can be compared to an interracial relationship between a black and white couple. You know racism exist but you have to PRETEND that it doesn't to keep the peace in the relationship. KRS-One has Latino and Jamaican friends in Hip Hop that he doesn't want to alienate. FBAs have to bend and fold to hold on to people who just want to EAT off of us. Our own way of thinking is why we struggle so hard financially in life.

The more i read through this comment section is the more i understand that there will always be division between people of the same colour, even despite everyone and their ancestors coming from one single continent.

Look, Latinos had nothing at all to do with hip hip, they came in when breaking and graffiti...but hip hop started with the music. Taking disco, r and b and funk records blinding them to make a new sound. Then we added drums. Drum machines. This is before sampling...before it was called hip hop. It was BugaLoo...then came the dancing, crews, graffiti. But the music came first. Yes there was always dancing...but we talking hip hop dancing...street dancing popping locking etc...I cant believe this is conversation...Latino culture had absolutely nothing to do with it.

28:09 ROCK STEADY released 1/24/72 by Aretha Franklin 💪🏾 I sho nuff heard Aretha Franklin in my head!!🎼 Let's call this song exactly what it is (What it is, what it is, what it is) It's a funky and low down feeling (What it is) In my hips from left to right (What it is) What it is I might be doing (What it is)💃🏽 Y’all know the song!🎉

KRS is speaking to the culture including the 5 elements. Hip H😊p is not just about the music. He is actually correct. Black people were not alone in trying to end the gang fights in NY. PR was involved. This is crazy to even speak about. I'm good. Live your trueth.... I'm good.

Not hard to see how the small hats were able to destroy hip hop when this is how krs1 behaves as an elder

This needs to be said.

Before I hit play I knew he was dropping facts!

Thank You!!

It’s when your forced to learn or believe something we’re not familiar with 💪🏼💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

No disrespect to PR”s or Jamaicans. But some of them hate on us. Not all tho. Hip hop does bring cultures together. That’s the positive out of it. It just shows how black Americans spread love & let others in.

KRS 1 is getting paid for his Lying

Straightening..,💪🏾👑

Shalawam&Salute Mike for the full upload 🫡 and Salute to Lord Jamar for simply speaking facts without fear! I loved how he maintained facts when folks tried to use gaslighting, disinformation, and deflection to take away from facts of the matter and KRS was the first rapper on wax with biblical truth about us being the scattered 12 Tribes so it blew my mind to see that he would make such an idiotic claim 🙌🏾💪🏾⚔️

✌🏽Lord, thanks for standing on your square.. 💪🏽

I’m so glad some of us are standing on business about our culture. No one would allow us to steal thier stuff it’s only right.

Lord Jamar speaking facts the 7isb always schooling people 💯

Yooooo itz Been Years ...Pop out At the Block Party on Lincoln place.. Bedford

Lord Jamar Destroys KRS One….. Willie Lynch at its finest once again.

Yo, another crazy shit is that I don’t know what part of New York you grew up in. Black and Puerto Ricans roll deep together in the early 70s that I remember to the 80s and 90s I guess it’s only in the South Bronx that happens.🇵🇷🇵🇷🇩🇴🇩🇴💪🏽

🗣YO I LOVE FOR U DIS BROGOD! 💪🏾😭

Hip-Hop will never die 🔥

I've never heard KRS say that. Is there a link?

Respectfully correct me if I'm wrong you did state that they came in 1976 prior to any film being made. Therefore if the agreed upon date is 1973. The term "wildstyle" was popularized by the Wild Style graffiti crew formed by Tracy 168 of the Bronx, New York in 1974 and was named after his crew, Wild Style.

Black Music ✊🏿

If Krs said that then Jamar has every right to snap, I done already thru out busta rhymes and fat Joe!

U dead rite bout EVERYTHING you said💯💯‼️‼️

I'm glad I watched this. He made it clear. History is factual and not always reflective of our ideals.

All Facts Gawdbrova

Thank you for setting the record straight. Can't believe KRS!!!

Black Americans Alone created Hip-Hop. Other ethnic groups were around it, witnessed it, and joined in but they had absolute nothing to do with starting it. Other ethnic groups are always trying to steal from Black American culture by taking credit for something they has no affiliation with. This is a prime reason Black Americans should stop allowing "others" to enter into our culture. In facts, in addition to Hip-Hop, Black Americans created Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Rap, Funk, Rock 'N Roll, Doo Wop, Country, Alternative, and many other genres of music. People need to do their research rather than speak recklessly on something they don't know about, though.

Yep!!

Bbn, U NEED 2 SEE THIS!!!

WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CHRONOLOGICAL BLACK AMERICAN CULTURAL HISTORY: Hip hop came directly out of The Black Power/Black Is Beautiful/ Black Arts Movement of the 1960's &1970's. This was the most culturally and politically active era in African American history. The teen contingent of the movement played out as presented on Soul Train produced by Don Cornelius beginning 1970 when the show was nationally broadcast from Chicago from 1970 to the end of 1971. He moved the show to LA, but he took several of his teen dancers with him to ensure the dance quality of the show would remain the same after the move. The TV show became our most powerful Black teen cultural influence for 36 years. Soul Train hit American popular culture like a cultural tsunami. It instantly eclipsed Dick Clark's American Bandstand in international popularity. Chicago is the capitol of African American Blues and Gospel Music. Chicago due to The Great Migration is Mississippi once removed. Chicago developed the best social dancers in Black America. Michael Jackson comes from that dance enclave. Because break dancing had been a part of the Chicago dance lexicon since the 1950's, most likely influenced by the Black dance crews seen on TV variety shows in the 1950's, the Chicago teens on Soul Train showcased break dancing as part of their dance repertoire. For the first time in or cultural history we had a national stage to spotlight Black music stars, show-off old and new Black dances, and to premiere new Black talent. Teens across this nation copied the break dancing seen on Soul Train, including The Black Spades. They sang James Brown's (who was a frequent guest on ST) "Soul Power." They personalized it by singing "Spade Power! They put their influence on break dancing to make it uniquely their own. James Brown's "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" was the Black teen national anthem. Those who recognize James Brown as the Godfather of hip hop, rarely mention the Black Power aspect of what he was promoting, along with other Black Protest stars like Curtis Mayfield (Movin' On Up), Nina Simone (To Be Young Gifted and Black), and Marvin Gaye (What's Goin' On album sold 2M albums in 30 days) among many others, that sparked the impetus for Black teen heightened involvement. The Black Arts Movement elevated rhyming Black Protest poets like H Rap Brown, Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Don L. Lee aka Haki Madhubuti, The Last Poets, and Mari Evans, and Oscar Brown Jr. among others, to the forefront as the rapping voices of Black Power that politicized Black American teens. This Black teen cultural revolution was televised. Neither Puerto Ricans nor Jamaicans were singing, dancing, rapping about, nor identifying with our Black Is Beautiful/Black Power/Black Arts Movement. They still don't. Their great jealousy grew out of the international excitement generated by Black American teens dancing on national TV that did not include them. Because the broadcast came out of Chicago, not NYC, it singularly showcased Black American teens only. Soul Train is the genesis of the NYC PR and Jamaican great cultural jealousy. The emergence of The Black Spades Black Power gang culture gave PRs in the Bronx a local Black cultural expression they could cosplay in their jealous quest to leech the Black American teen international pop culture spotlight. Their desire for the same fame that Black teens had, is the reason NYC PRs in mass set aside their long-standing antipathy towards NYC African Americans in order to surreptitiously enter their ranks to gain acceptance so they could cosplay Black American dance, music and style. Five plus decades later Latinos have delusionally convinced themselves that they actually created what they effetely copied. Anyone who speaks about the development of hip hop and doesn't mention the worldwide influence the Black Is Beautiful/Black Power/Black Arts Movement or the impact of Soul Train, they don't know what they are talking about. The 10 years following the assassination of MLK, Black America was politically and culturally ablaze. Hip hop grew directly out of the tenor of those times. No immigrant group was powerful enough to influence Black American teen music, dance, nor style during that Black Power period, no matter where they were located. All other teens, white American teens and white college students, American immigrant teens in and outside of NYC, and teens around the world copied the powerful music, dance, and political colloquialisms (like "Right-On" and "Power To The People!") presented by African Americans from various regions across this nation. Contemporary self-aggrandizing cultural history revisionists like Colon and certain descendants of island immigrants have chosen the most active, the most vocal, and the most recorded period in Black American history to try and hijack. All their ever-changing revisionist folklore narratives are continually being debunked by authentic Black Americans, because they have no visual or journalistic documented evidence to support their delusional wishful claims, nor do they present acceptable reasoning that ratifies Puerto Rican/Jamaican bizarre demands to force their way into African American culture that resists their irrational intrusions.

Facts

WE MADE THAT SHIT BRO, 🥱JAMAICA.

Thank you Lord Jamar thanks for having the heart to speak on this topic so many blacks are afraid to keep it real on.

Lord Jamar...respECT!...thnx for sharing the truth...🫡

Black Spades from the BX been breakdancing heavy since the mid 1960s until the early 1970s and they put it down because they was tired of getting dirty from dancing😂And when they put it down, the Puerto Ricans picked it up around 1975-1976.

Our parents conceived hip hop, and we were birthed from it… it’s time to talk about the Great Migration aka African American Exodus since these mfs never bothered to listen and learn

P.R.'s are in the middle when it comes to certain aspects of the culture and I get it. The 1st caller was on point too! L.J. is making a lot of the facts plain. they know, ppl stop getting upset over the truth.

I guess, a majority of folks must have forgotten about Noah from the Jubalaries (Jubilee). That guy was Rapping waaay back during the 40s and 50s!!
