Busta Rhymes Breaks Down How Latino Culture Influenced Hip Hop

Exclusive media shedding light on the latest gossip, news, celebrities, music and media.

[@nyrubin]

Latino Culture might have influenced hip hop, but taking a deeper dive, Puerto Rican music, Dominican music, and Cuban music has all derived from Black music. The essence is brown* folks music ❤️

Nope.

FBAs created it and dominates the space more than any other. Everyone just wants to he a culture vulture. We created it and genres before it. Blues, rock, jazz, funk, soul, pop, and R&B. We've got more too 😏 we have the most robust culture and these others tryna take it is actually kinda cool. Speaks volumes to our greatness. Everyone hates us but wants to be us 😂😂 DELICIOUS

[@typhoomantis1172]

@@BoricuaNyc Yep

[@nyrubin]

@@connerwhite5351 lol I wouldn't argue the creation of it. there's been black rappers that have been filmed while tap dancing (back in the days of black & white film) . my point was that Puerto Ricans did have a strong influence on hip hop but not in creating it, and to add to my point all of Latin American music comes from people of color! whether it's African descendants In the Caribbean islands PR DR and Cuba (Salsa,Merengue,dembo & reggeaton) or South Americans that essentially created Bachata. all of our music comes from people of color! so even if Puerto Ricans influenced hip hop at it's core it was a culture of people of color.

[@vanillaisreallyblack4674]

He's speaking from as a non-American Black man, yes in the Carribean y'all probably did influence each other; but hip hop is Black American born. Non-American Black ppl are even influenced by American Black ppl, everything and everyone is. Hip hop is not spanish, case and point: look what Jennifer Lopez did with that Motown tribute.

No, Ricans have influenced HipHop since the very beginning in every way so did Jamaicans. It's Black music yet we developed it with them. Remember that was in the Bronx, NY. From there yes in other cities maybe Blacks primarily put their mark on it but facts are facts.

[@americasmaker]

@@santotheephraimite6840 Grandmaster Caz is one of the earliest rappers in the Hip Hop scene and he has said Ricans were not involved like that in the beginning, maybe 1 or 2. This looked down on Hip Hop. Crazy Legs said the same. I believe them over misinformed internet rumors. And blacks in other states are the reason blacks in NYC had anything to work with to create a Hip Hop in the first place. Our impact on Hip Hop was there before Hip Hop itself was. You people who aren't African American really need to watch who you argue about our musical history with because I will slay you.

I disagree with the the Americans have no culture part in General. Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, Whites, etc. All have their own culture in the US and together form American Culture. The difference with whites is it changes from ethnicity to ethnicity far more something you don't generally see in the Black Community that often safe for relatively Recent immigrants into America. Irish Americans have a distinct culture as do German Americans and Cajuns etc. Then of course there is regional culture with New England and California having different cultures same is true for the South. Then also you have The different classes and cultural divide there. Culture is actually everywhere in America and exists in all races, ethnic groups, and religions.

African-Americans are pioneers of the many elements of Hip Hop and Rap music. We always dominated the rap game and created rap subgenres including the current Trap Rap which originated by African-Americans. Lil John, Mannie Fresh, Dj Paul were all pioneers of the trap rap genre. We also originated many musical genres: Country music Barbershop music Blues Bebop Boogie woogie Delta Blues Disco Funk Go-go Gospel music Groove Hip hop House music Jazz Jug band music Negro spirituals/Spiritual Neo soul New jack swing Quiet storm Ragtime Contemporary R&B Rhythm and blues Rock and roll Skiffle Soul music Southern rap Swing Techno Trap music PBR&B Zydeco Here is a list of dances we created just from 2010-2020: • Krumping • Turfing • Jerkin' • Cat Daddy • Dougie • Jookin • Wop • Gas Pedal • Graham • Dunham • Ailey • Bounce • Twerking • Dab • Milly Rock[9] • Futsal Shuffle 2020 • Gangsta Walking • Renegade Tik Tok • Whip Nae Nae song has almost 2 billion views on youtube.

Woodson has been widely cited with that title. There’s a building in Harlem that houses, some say, the largest collection of Black history in the world. At the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, you can see and touch original documents like the Malcolm X papers and the Nate King Cole papers. The center also holds specialized exhibits, film screenings, and panel discussions. The center is named after Arturo Schomburg, who sold his personal collection of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, and data to the New York Public Library in 1926. Schomburg was a Puerto Rican-born Black historian living in New York City at the time of the Harlem Renaissance. He arrived to the city from San Juan, Puerto Rico at the age of 17 in 1891, and from the get go, he began to navigate being Black and Latino in the United States. “Here we have a Black man with a German last name with a Spanish accent in NYC in the 19th century,” says Vanessa K. Valdés, associate professor at the City College of New York and author of Diasporic Blackness: The Life and Times of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg. “And so all of that, his very being challenges what we think of blackness.”One of the Fathers of Black History Was Afro-Puerto Rican By JANICE LLAMOCA JUN 30, 2017 HISTORY RACE Share 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what about black culture nigga 😂😂😂 80% of black Brothers don't even know their own black history, us Ricans have to show u niggas😂😂😂😂😂😂dude🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷✌️👍💪 Malcolm X was raised down the street from me dudley mass 😂😂😂South Bronx is the birthplace of Hip-Hop, it comes to no surprise that the intermingling of Puerto Rican and West Indies along with Black styles are the main contributors to the basic Hip-Hop essence.The group also included Prince Whipper Whip (the first Latino rapper), Dot-a-Rock, and A1 DJ Pambaataa, (the first female hip-hop DJ), named in homage to Zulu Nation’s pioneering hip-hop godfather Afrika Bambaataa. In 1978, Dot-A-Rock, Prince Whipper Whip, and Grandmaster Caz joined the Cold Crush Brothers. Alongside Grandmaster Caz, DJ Disco Wiz is also credited for being the first DJ to create a “mixed plate” (Hip-Hop’s first mixed dub recording) in 1977. DJ Disco Wiz wrote a book titled ‘It’s Just Begun: The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip Hop’s First Latino DJ’ in 2009, he told Village Voice that same year, “People were opinionated about my role as a predominantly Spanish person doing something that was perceived as black culture,” because “Most Latinos were listening to disco and salsa then.”Luis Cedeño, famously known as DJ Disco Wiz, was the first Latino DJ.

Rap and Hip-Hop are both Black AmericanDOS creations, however they're two different things with different histories. Ninety nine percent of the time when people say Hip-Hop what they really mean is Rap, the "Hip-Hop" term needs to be fazed out when discussing music. Technically, Hip-Hop is a youth movement that was birthed in the Bronx and died there. The Hip-Hop term has been misused and thrown around loosely and inappropriately for decades, it's caused confusion and that's one of the reasons Rap doesn't have a proper standard history as a music genre. You don't associate the creation of Blues or Jazz with any type of separate youth or cultural movement so why would you do it with Rap?

There was a heavy Latino presence in in B-Boying and Graffiti and there were some DJs with big impact like DJ Charlie Chase of Cold Crush. Busta is talking a bit more about Caribbean drum and percussion rhythms and how they translated into the early sound development and influence in hip hop. Those roots, even in the Latin Caribbean islands trace back to Africa. Science says all life does. I think you've got to give a lot of credit to funk drummers and the creators of all of the music (worldwide) that was being spun into breakbeats during the early development.

[@AvimadyeOrunni]

Yeah and at the same time the majority of Puerto Rican’s were being racist to black people and calling them Niggers with all the White folk. Grandmaster Caz used to be picked on by Puerto Rican’s playing Timbales when he threw his block parties. But surprise surprise when the culture started getting popular us brown people joined in. Hip Hop will and always will be like all music genres that came out the US;African American. I concede that the Americans that moulded the culture were majority British territory Carribean....Jamaica and Barbados ; like Kool Herc and Flash but you can’t argue with facts, it’s not a point of view.

I want to spread and plant seeds of love. From what I have read, Activist such as Luis Moreno and Charlotta Bass have mentioned that African Americans And Mexican Americans have gone through similar injustices. They have been put against each other because loving each other together and being strong together is a threat to the systemic injustices that we we live. This is why I loved the Last Wakanda Forever Movie. I have to say that it’s ignorance and what was implanted in us by the people in high ranking politicians like the neo- nazis white supremacists who were hiding behind a suit and in a tie though out history “from boots to suits”. It has made these two groups dislike each other through generations. Especially strong to dislike and hurt each other in the jail system. Love to all people! Including Asian, Indian and everyone else we share this world with. Who I am and what do I know right I have been asked where I’m from. I’m Mexican American and we all look different. We have so many mixes. I just took a dna test that shows that I have 9% Senegal 🇸🇳 where they had a center for slave trade. Another percentage is from Spain and and Portugal, Iran, European Jewish and Mexican Michoacán indigenous. It was shocking to learn that I have ancestors that lived and experienced the slave trade. The first book I ever really read was “to be a slave”. And I was angry and cried by the stories. This book and watching “Roots”opened up more curiosity on how people can be so cruel. I became more interested to learn about history. I have to say that in Mexico and other countries people African descent continue to experience the effect, disadvantage, and the systemic injustices through generation because of slavery. They are looked down on just because of the darker skin. If you are Mexican you most likely have a percentage of African DNA having ancestors who were African. What so bizarre is that in Mexico racism is so common. The light Mexicans that look more European/white although might have a high percentage or African and indigenous roots, will be favored and have higher paying jobs and are most likely to be get roles in movies and novelas. They only hire the dark skinned that look more like an Afro-Mexican or dark indigenous-Mexicans as servants and criminals in roles. Media has made it appear that being lighter is being better. Brain washed people. My mom saw a baby with blue eyes and blonde hair and made a comment that the baby looked like an Angel. I’m looking at my moreno baby and I say, mom all babies look like angels.

We all contributed to hip hop, made it popular, changed it with meaning and mixing beats like DJ'ing, and boosted it's popularity.

I tell you one thing’s for sure; “if you ain’t from the South Bronx and have had no idea to know what is was like to struggle and have all our music genres blended together for both kinds to enjoy as the only thing there was to smile for, then all you out-state Blacks really need to stfu about this shit already. It’s offensive and pure ignorance. Don’t talk that talk if you ain’t walk the South Bronx walk.

People wanna know why NY fell off and cant get back on (w/o sharking from other regions/states music...Drill) and its bcus of this. Hip Hop was created at a time most Black Am New Yorkers had a connection to their southern family so the music and party culture came with it. Theres a disconnect now and we’re starting to see caribbeans for exactly ehat they are, for the most part. Untalented, they not bringing it back up top with their superior culture, it remains and will remain in the souf

@@kinglos7840 Are you stupid? The south east region, USA has been the most influential region in this country and the world for the past 200 years. Modern music and song structure (of popular genres ALL around the dam world) is based on/heavily influenced by the Blues scale and the Blues/R&B song structure. Blues is east coast? Jazz, the Rag, Gospel, R&B, Soul, Funk are east coast genres? 1st time i heard that... I’m not from the Souf weak brain, its East coast til Im gon but these are the facts. Hip Hop comes from South Bronx, “Rap” doesnt. The South took it and never gave it back. Mainly bcus there is a music culture/musicality (granted the club culture made it arguably worse) there that NY lacks. You cant create anything new with nothing to draw from.
