THE TRUE FOUNDATION OF HIP HOP: Black Americans created various music genres such as Gospel, The Blues, Jubilee music, Ragtime, Jazz, Swing, Soul, R&B, Country music, Rock & Roll, Bee Bop, Doo Wop, Disco, Funk, Go Go Music, House music, Bounce, Hip Hop, Neo Soul and Techno. The breakbeats and soundscape of Hip Hop were greatly influenced by James Brown. In fact, James Brown is the most sampled artist within Hip Hop of all time. Technically, James Brown is The Godfather of Hip Hop. Respect to the legendary DJ Kool Herc. But, he was a major contributor to Hip Hop and not its creator. If a Jamaican created Hip Hop then why isn't a Jamaican artist the most sampled in Hip Hop history? Name the various phrases from Reggae, Dance hall or Jamaican patois that were adopted by Hip Hop. Can you show any Jamaicans rapping and break dancing in 30s and 40s prior to Hip Hop? The elements of Hip Hop started WAY before Kool Herc and WAY before 1973. Black Americans were rapping in the 1940s. Examples of this include “The Jubalaires.” Hip Hop lingo was greatly influenced by the Black American Jazz era, which was created by Black Americans.. Jazz terms such as Funky, Fresh, Fly, Dope, Hip, The Bomb, Boogie, Cool, Chill, Crib, Down by law, Jam, etc were adopted by Hip Hop. It's important to note that Black Americans were holding house parties and block parties with booming systems and dancing to James Brown music back in the 1960s. Dancers would pop & lock, slide, and do splits to mimic James Brown’s style of dancing. Signature dances such as the Camel Walk, The Mash Potato, The Soul Train, The James Brown, etc were all great influences on future B-Boys and B-Girls. DJING: Black American DJs Disco King Mario and Grandmaster Flowers are heralded as the real founding fathers of Hip Hop. They both played James Brown & Disco breakbeats at block parties before Kool Herc. Disco King Mario got a street named after him in The Bronx by the City of New York for being one of the founding fathers of Hip Hop. HIP HOP'S SOUTHERN ROOTS #2: Comedian Rudy Ray Moore set the precedent for mixing beats and rhymes. He is called the Godfather of Rap for helping to birth the genre. He was from Arkansas. Comedian Pigmeat Markham released the song "Here Comes The Judge" in 1968 on Chess Records. The song was a forerunner of Rap music. Mr. Markham was from Durham, North Carolina. Also, old school rapper Coke La Rock is oftentimes credited as being the first official MC in the history of Hip-hop. He was originally from North Carolina and moved to New York. EMCING Black American old school rapper Coke La Rock from New York City is oftentimes credited as being the first official MC in the history of Hip-hop. GRAFFITI: In terms of Graffiti, the 1st known Hip Hop or music influenced graffiti artist went by the name of “CornBread” in the 1960s. He was a Black American from Philadelphia. "CornBread" combined tagging with the music scene. BREAKDANCING: Black Americans invented acrobatic dances such as Tap Dancing, The Charleston, The Lindy Hop, etc. These dances would later become major influences on breakdancing. Additionally, in 1925, Earl Tucker (aka Snake Hips), a performer at the Cotton Club, invented a dance style similar to today’s hip-hop moves. He incorporated floats and slides into his dance. Similar moves would later inspire breakdancing. Breakdancing itself is also thought to have been inspired by the performances of James Brown, which included splits, popping and locking. According to legendary Latino break dancer Crazy Legs, there were very few Hispanic B Boys in the beginning. He said that almost all the B Boys were Afro American. Crazy Legs stated that the Latinos in the 1970's originally referred to breakdancing as Moreno Style dancing. BREAK BEATS/HIP HOP SOUNDSCAPE: In 1962, James Brown recorded "Live at the Apollo." Brown’s drummer Clayton F. introduced a sound that is now known as the breakbeat. The breakbeat would later inspire the b-boy movement, as breakers danced to these beats at block parties. More importantly, in 1969 James Brown recorded two songs that would further influence the drum programming in today’s rap music: “Sex Machine” with John Starks playing drums, and “Funky Drummer” with Clyde Stubblefield on the drums. BATTLING: Another early and continuing influence on Hip hop culture is the Black American competitive oral competition called “playing the dozens,” which combines humorous insults and oral skills in a battle to shock and ultimately silence one’s opponent. A famous practitioner of this oratorical contest was Muhammad Ali, who used short rhymes to belittle his opponents and stupefy pundits. In hip hop the “dozens” grew into the tradition known as “battling,” in which rappers face off against each other to see who has the best lyrics and stylistic flow. TOASTING: Equally important, toasting was derived from the “rapping” of black American radio DJs from the 1940s through the 1960s. These Black American Djs influenced the toasting style of the Jamaican dancehall producer Coxson Dodd. Dodd took toasting or rapping to Jamaica and Herc brought toasting back to the United States. BEATBOXING: Beatboxing is the fifth element of Hip Hop. Some of the historical influences of beatboxing include scat singing out of jazz. It's a historically Black American art form in that even the scat singing in jazz owes a lot of its roots to blues. Scat singing influenced the development of doo-wop and rap and hip-hop styles. Beatboxing is a tradition of vocal percussion which originates in 1980s Hip-Hop. The first pioneer of 1980s beatbox was Darren 'Buffy' Robinson, a member of the Hip Hop crew The Fat Boys. CALL & RESPONSE AND HIP HOP CADENCE: Hip Hop was greatly influenced and inspired by The Black American tradition of Call and Response. This tradition grew out of the Black churches in the deep South, whereby Baptist preachers would grunt, scream, and holler to elicit a response from the congregation. Music artists, such as James Brown, used Call and Response chants and grunts in their songs. In the deep south, Call and Response chants morphed into work chants. Singing work chants helped coordinate movements and build on collective strength in harsh working conditions. Cadence calls motivate, while ensuring unit cohesion and promoting fun. One man, known as the caller, would stand aside from the crew and sing verbal instructions. His commands were answered by the men’s lining bars rapping in rhythm in a call and response manner. The military adopted the Call and Response Cadence songs. Black American Army Private Willie Lee Duckworth Sr. (1924-2004) made up “Sound Off”, a.k.a., the “Duckworth Chant,” which is used to this day in the U.S. Army and other branches of the military. The chant later gained fame as “Sound Off” and remains one of the most popular marching cadences in Army history. Early Black American Hip Hop DJ's used the Black American tradition of Call and Response to format the beginning cadence of Hip Hop. A cadence is a rhythm, or a flow of words or music, in a sequence that is regular or steady. The "Sound off" chant greatly influenced the cadence of early Hip Hop emcees. The pioneering Hip Hop DJs used Call and Response chants and grunts to motivate, engage, inspire, and move the crowd by instructing the audience to scream, or repeat popular phrases.

Just like the L.A riots, blacks were on the frontline speaking out about police brutality while the damn Mexicans looted the stores.

Rap music was castigated and dismissed as a fad for years. It has arguably been the most financially successful genre and culturally influential phenomenon for a couple of decades now. There’s an old adage that success has a thousand fathers, but success is an orphan.

If Jamaicans created Hip Hop how come they didn’t create it in Jamaica?Jamaicans and P.R. we’re part of the beginning of Hip Hop too because they lived in the hood with FBA in NY.But everything that’s considered Hip Hop is all FBA in the beginning. Next they gon claim they created soul food.

[@benmorris6241]

Now that I wanna see bwahahahahaaaaa 😅!!!😂

[@FBA_God_Emperor_Doom]

Facts, Hip-Hop is just the beginning and don't forget the africans are jumping in on the tethering too. Soul food, Jazz, The Blues, and R&B is next on the agenda and they're not going to stop until they can claim all of Black American culture.

[@TruthAmerican68]

A culture is created from a combination of people, events and situations. No one person or event creates a culture. The colossal fabrication about how Kool Herc allegedly started Hip Hop with a back to school party on August 11th, 1973 is the sanitized fantasy version of the genre's foundation. The glorious tale of this singular clean cut event, where the elements of Hip Hop suddenly formed together, was a PR move to make Hip Hop palatable for corporate interests and mainstream audiences. The hardcore fact is that Hip Hop emerged from the gritty and violent street gang culture of the Bronx. There were Black American gangs such as the Savage Skulls, Glory Stompers, Blue Diamonds, Black Cats and the Black Spades. The Blacks Spades were New York's biggest and most feared street gang and they spread this burgeoning culture throughout the 5 boroughs. It all started with a couple of Black Spade block parties in the early-1970’s. It began in Rosedale Park and the Bronxdale Projects. The earliest Hip Hop culture began receiving a limelight in the early 70's, before Kool Herc, when Black American gangs or crews like The Black Spades would introduce raps at park jams, block parties, and clubs. The Black Spades made graffiti part of this new culture. They would spray paint the Black Spades symbol all over New York City. Additionally, as a crew The Black Spades had DJ's, B Boys, emcees, and a certain lingo, which was adopted from the Black American Jazz vernacular, such as Funky, Fresh, Fly, Dope, Hip, The Bomb, Boogie, Cool, Chill, Crib, Down by law, Jam, Rollin' etc. They listened to Soul, R&B, Disco, and Funk, mainly James Brown. Hip Hop pioneer DJ Disco King Mario was a full fledged member of the Black Spades. Moreover, Afrika Bambaataa was in a Black Spades division before becoming a famous hip hop DJ. He broke off from the Black Spades and went on to form the Universal Zulu Nation. Black American DJs Disco King Mario and Grandmaster Flowers are heralded as the real founding fathers of Hip Hop. They both played James Brown & Disco breakbeats at block parties before Kool Herc. Disco King Mario got a street named after him in The Bronx by the City of New York for being one of the founding fathers of Hip Hop. THE TRUE FOUNDATION OF HIP HOP: Firstly. Hip Hop lingo was greatly influenced by the Black American Jazz era, which was created by Black Americans.. Jazz terms such as Funky, Fresh, Fly, Dope, Hip, The Bomb, Boogie, Cool, Chill, Crib, Down by law, Jam, etc were adopted by Hip Hop. Moreover, the break beats and soundscape of Hip Hop were greatly influenced by James Brown. In fact, James Brown is the most sampled artist within Hip Hop of all time. Technically, Janes Brown is The Godfather of Hip Hop. Respect to the legendary DJ Kool Herc. But, he was a major contributor to Hip Hop and not its creator. If a Jamaican created Hip Hop then why isn't a Jamaican artist the most sampled in Hip Hop history? Name the various phrases from Reggae, Dance hall or Jamaican patois that were adopted by Hip Hop. Can you show any Jamaicans rapping and break dancing in 30s and 40s prior to Hip Hop? The elements of Hip Hop started WAY before Kool Herc and WAY before 1973. Black Americans were rapping in the 1940s. Examples of this include “The Jubalaires.” It's important to note that Black Americans were holding house parties and block parties with booming systems and dancing to James Brown music back in the 1960s. Dancers would pop & lock, slide, and do splits to mimic James Brown’s style of dancing. Signature dances such as the Camel Walk, The Mash Potato, The Soul Train, The James Brown, etc were all great influences on future B-Boys and B-Girls.

Tariq, actually the 1st song coming out the wast coast was The Gigolo Rapp in 81. Techno, house/ disco and electro was ruling at that time. Uncle Jam & The wreckin Cru was doing techno/ electro. Uncle jams 1st song dial -a-freak came out in 1983. I was Dj'in highschool. But there was something going on that influenced that sound. And it was house and techno. In 81 Chicago house and Detroit techno went hand and hand. Both area influenced each other and played both together. In 81 a song called "Anumber of Names by Sharevari & the song Alleys of the mind by Cybotron & comic cars by Cybotron in 82 then toward the end of 82 all djs up here had test pressors record of a song called clear by Cybotron it got released early 83, but, planet rock came out late 82. Then Egyptian lover , coming out of Uncle Jams Army dropped the album On the Nile,. Also Dr Dre release the song Surgery and juice in 84. Then Ice-T had the song Reckless in 84 Then the No ufo by model500 & cybotron- R9 in 1985.

I'm 71 years of age and remember the beginning of Hip Hop . I worked with latinos, majority Puerto Rican and in the parking lot most played their car radios loud and I remember how Rap music was criticised by some Latinos and I proclaimed that in ten years that there would be Spanish speaking hip hop. Five years later there was Puerto Rican rappers. I lso explained that the clothes they were wearing was an example of culture and the guy over there was sporting a rather large Afro and a pick.

Most of the pioneers are not in positions of authority in the industry to help one another. I'm confident that Rakim didn't mean that but said it for the benefit of those in the industry that he knew would appreciate it.

[@GregLucas-pv8nm]

Facts!

[@ultraman1970D]

The title GOAT doesn’t mean he created rap. Em adopted and nurtured his rap skills. Music is subjective so there is no right or wrong answer just preference. Just like in Rock and Roll and country music which is a FBA creation, the greatest artists in both genres are considered White. In Rock and Roll the GOAT is considered Bod Dylan , in country GOAT is considered Merle Haggard, and both individuals are white. A creation of a thing by a certain group of people doesn’t exclude others groups of people from participating in whatever was created and making it their own. I like EM he is a great rapper/lyricist, he respects and pays homage to those who influenced and came before him.
