When was this battle can you talk more about this story? Thanks

@@RomSpaceKnight hello friend how are you? If you are talking about the day it happened it was on a Saturday I believe. I always did like to read about fun historical events like this.

Was she good?

Taft and Kennedy was the school to hang out .,:honey dips were ALL over the place

@@justChuka this is hilarious

@@CraigLaRock you already know bruh

Did he really create hip hop ?

Not only a genre but a way of life

Today is the 50th anniversary!

THIS FALSE. 1971 IS THE YEAR. WITH KING MARIO. NOT HERC. AND JAMAICANS MADE THEIR MUSIC BY COPYING OUR MUSIC HERE IN AMERICA.

The Voice Of Showgun ikr! exactly why it's being disputed! lol Truth be told, they all hold an equally important piece to the puzzle! Hip Hop needed ALL of them in order to become what it did.

Now look at it...such a shame!...smh.

Tanya can you reply back it’s gonna be 8 years.

Because he “played” records NEVER rapped or “chat”...listen to the type of records he played not reggae.

@@brooklynboogie1405 he did tho, he brought people to rap and he was from Jamaica

@@brooklynboogie1405 no one said he played Reggae

Be proud of your own accomplishments

word!!

legba eshu so what? He wouldn't be the only one on drugs there.

and yet he still did more than you have or ever will! how much of a loser does that make you!

rap isn't hip hop. In fact many of the creators of hip-hop hate what it's become with the terrible rap all the time.

um. he is.

🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Fair point.

is reggae

GanjaCityStudio straight up man the origins of hiphop are from a rasta background, even when hiphop came over to England in 86(ish) Saxon the british originator was also rapping in a Jamaican accent! wasn't until the London Posse started using English slang that it changed

GanjaCityStudio Hip-hop has NOTHING to do with Jamaica or Jamaicans. Hip-Hop came from New York DJ culture which came from the disco era where DJs replaced live bands as the main attraction in nightclubs. DJs used turntables as musical instruments and their MCs rhymed over the product. This Pete DJ Jones interview contains some valuable information www.thafoundation.com/pete.htm .

Alexander T. No, no one man originated an entire genre of music. I just told u where it came from.

Hi, when was this battle in Chicago can you tell more about it? Thanks

King tubby from Jamaica invented sampling and remixing

Nawl, ya'll didn't have shit to do with that and you need to stop tellin that lie.

+Cheap Charlie he took what he saw in Jamaica and brought it to the US. Stop lying to yourself.

jahotgal01 Take your own advice, dumbass. African-Americans been rappin before Kool Herc was ever thought about www.dailymotion.com/video/x2uwn2e .

thanks for the link Charlie. check this one out Pigmeat Markham's 'Here Comes the Judge' 1968

this big thing about bambaata is crazy! now im lookin closer at mannerisms..

+DAVID Edwards no funk no hip hop either just sayn

Markist Brown How sweet would that be to have an entire album produced by Herc

not a fan of hip hop dude but i guess

Markist Brown not any hip hop? Not even the great prince of bel-Air?

i listen to but don't really care for

Me tooooo

Same here!!! Learning the beginnings!!

:-) Me too.

Rip it gor cancelled 😥

Richard Zuidam did it really?!

Didn’t know that. Can you talk more about this? Thanks

capcom4snk Reggae and hip hop should've have any disagreements, they are both part of the wider African diaspora... both are immortal and simply different branches from the same tree

capcom4snk Why aren't Jamaicans talking shit to the Hispanics that stole reggae sounds and calling it Reggaeton music???

capcom4snk None of those guys rapped, they talked over music and Jamaicans got the idea of toasting from listening to black disc jockey's on American radio broadcast. Rapping is rhyming to the beat of a song. The first rap song on a major label was by an African-American called Pigmeat Markham. Here's 1968's "Here Comes The Judge" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etx9ddud2pyWk2Q.html

Every time I close my eyes Holy shit!!! Nice research and amazing song too. But yeah, disc jockeys from the blues started in America from like 1962.

***** Alright I'm gonna search it up, thanks.

***** Dude are you serious??? There's NOTHING remotely hip-hop sounding about Calypso/Caribbean music.

..being a butt boy..foh😄

Yes

Lol I was born in 1990. But I'm here checkin up on my history 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Erik Pashibin 😂😂

+Neisha C And by saying "our culture" you mean? Hip Hop is not Black, it's not White, it's not Asian, it's not Christian, it's not Buddhist... Hip Hop culture is much greater than that. Go listen to some KRS One speeches about Hip Hop and then you'll know. I AM HIP HOP! B-boy / Writer / ex-MC / DJ

+The Blank People of African descent created rap. African history from all over the world already being mistreated by people who don't give a damn. People don't wanna knowledge where it came from, what was hip hop's original meaning. A lot of folks today are in it now just for money. "Everybody Wanna Be Black, Until Shit Gets Thick and Foggy"

Oh, thanks for explaining what you meant. I won't doubt it that the best things came from the African culture. But there is also a theory that all of the humankind began in Africa. I am white, since 13 I got stuck with Hip Hop culture. I was an MC for some time but I had to leave it 'cause it wasn't my thing, I still B-Boy, DJ and write though. And I've been arrested for bombing way too many times. Also I don't even live in the US. I don't really care if I'll get shot or locked in jail for it though 'cause I live for Hip Hop and I will stand with it till the end.

+The Blank lol. ok buddy.

+The Blank hip hop culture stems from the African diaspora!!! Please understand (if you don't) - 1) African diaspora is the people with African decent who are living (taken from their homeland) outside of the African continent. For example, North & South America, the West Indies+ Latino countries/nations, Europe + Britain.... 2) the pioneers & owing atoms of hip hop were all of African decent (not like that matters) but the fact that this particular influential art from has DISTINCT influences and a traditional ways in relation to Africa Hip hop emerged from attempting to overcome systematic oppression which African Americans are STILL suffering from. Hip hop culture was one way of expressing freedom. Just dropping knowledge 💯💯🙌🏾😬😊 However everyone today has picked up the elements of hip hop, which is great and everyone wants to get involved. No one owns the copyrights but YES the credit must always be given back to......... The originators. Peace

Same it's crazy because Dj kool herc is producing that too

Me too

Dj Kool Herc didn't start the Book of Rap, because he isn't a rapper. He's a Dj. He never rapped. Coke La Rock did.

+Koco Kool Herc is the father of the Hip-Hop culture

+Collin Parris He did introduce rhythmic chanting over the top of his DJ sets to the audience and his break dancers for the first time. This developed into a trend which was later pioneered into a genre of music which we now know as RAP.

legba eshu NO ONE GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK, MR. KNOW-IT-ALL. BRING FACTS WITH RECEIPTS IF YOU WANT TO START FLIPPING AROUND TRUTHS.

No Dub, no hip-hop amigo.

I heard him and Afrika Bambaataa wanted to combine the hip hop and the punk rock scenes, but the punk kids had this "anti disco" train of thought where they were lumping hip hop and funk in with disco. They resisted it, and in the long run it didn't work out. But punk rock would have really benefitted if it was part of hiphop.

Malcom Mclaren is a money grubbing fool who cashes in on youth culture when it serves his purpose.

golden comment

Hell no, because anyone can find out where any genre of music originated, with the internet.

Pretty ignorant to think that.

+Joseph Lyons No it isnt.

+marcus spencer And I don't think it. It's a fear.

It is...

@@SupastarJKwik deadass???

I also want to know! Tell me about Africa Bombatta!

+David Velez you realize latinos were also ap[art of the begining right....?

+anthony arguelles hip hop is black music period

David Velez thats fine

i see you you are all over the internet trying to discredit Jamaica's accomplishments HAHAHA You are one weird individual....smh

I don't have to "try", do a Google search for Grandmaster Flowers, Pete DJ Jones or a KZfaq search for the video "Founding Fathers: The Untold Story of Hip-Hop".

It doesn't matter who started Hip-Hop. 100 years from now when we're all dead, white folks will have re-witten history and taken credit for it. Just like they did rock and roll.

Wrong It Was Started In the Bronx. research 1520 Sedgwick Avenue

iEldilo Who hasn't heard of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue??? That's the "commercial" version of where the music started.

Like a typical hater you ignore how herc played black American music like James Brown to create hip hop and his mc Coke la rock is African American!!!!
