[@STEPASAUR]

yes julz145, hiphop is a direct decendant of the reggae soundsystem, the 'talkover dj' is the father of the m.c or rapper but just like reggae, hiphop has descended into emptiness and guntalk, this was such a heartwarming period though but then 'real' struggle produces 'real' music

part 3? you make it seem you can watch the whole docu.. but cuts after 2 parts.. very zzzzzzzzzzz

[@STEPASAUR]

you're misinterpeting me puresynthesis, I'm saying hiphop is the 'direct' descendant in that it was the next stage or manifestation and not that the tree begins there, damn, we could go back to Griots etc. for all that, but thanks for knowin' your stuff tho, after 28 years active in hiphop I've picked up a few facts too

All respect to Jamaica and reggae music, which I love -- but rap was not invented in Jamaica, it is a long tradition with probably roots in African culture. A big record in Jamaica in the 1950s was "The Monkey Speaks His Mind" which is essentially a rap record. The record was made in New Orleans, not Kingston.
