The Early Years of Hip-Hop (feat. Questlove & Method Man) - Drunk History

I've never seen a drunk history with two dudes who can handle their liquor as well as Questlove and Colton. They didn't even spill their drinks. Kudos to you my friends.

[@christophertracy7492]

Pros. 🤣

[@ChickFixUSA]

@@Threaopolieze well it does seem sometimes that the narrated part is a lot more lucid than the cutaways to the couch part. As of they went back and redid the voice over later to make it more clear. But sometimes those folks seem pretty legit drunk off their asses. Especially in earlier episodes.

[@christopherayettey4390]

Is the intoxication bit real?.. or a bit of acting involved

[@ChickFixUSA]

@@christopherayettey4390 I think maybe it depends on which person is doing the narrating.

[@ChickFixUSA]

@@christopherayettey4390 my guess is that they film it twice: once while they are sober (or at least relatively sober), and then again when they're trashed, and then cut them together. Often you'll see the narrator slurring their words, slinging their drinks, or even falling on the floor... and then they cut back to the actual story and suddenly they're lucid again.

Jamaicans were influenced by country music heavily because they could only get Texas radio stations Wayback in the day.

As a true lover of Hip Hop, this hit me hard on some emotional level. This has to become a little series just about Hip Hop. The story telling is great, we just need to touch upon the rest of the pillars of this great art. This history needs to be preserved for future generations. And I do ask for any other lovers of Hip Hop, take a trip to New York after some research, and really take in where this music originated from. The melting pot of what this art is with the combination of other genres is what made Hip Hop. I’ll never take for granted how all this makes me feel. Much love🙏

Sylvia was the first nasty girl of her time. Her record was called pillow talk. That's why the big rappers wouldn't hook up with her. They weren't into a women exploitation back then. She ripped those boys off, it was ugly. Her son Joey got a brand new Cadillac. I was in his driveway a week after he got it. My guitarist "Tate" took me to the house. Hank was still working at McDonald's on main drag in Englewood,NJ. Palisades Avenue. The studio was blocks away. My band had recorded in that studio and thanks to "Sir Roland Hanna", famus jazz pianist we were able to get on Master back. Great to be alive back then new music new electronic devices coming.

conway walcolm I’ll leave the “Hip Hop origins” debate alone bcus anyone who knows what they’re talking about knows Jamaica has nothing to do with the roots.... But are you seriously trying to say sound system equipment comes from Jamaica? Lol. Even though Jamaican DeeJays used to come to the states for equipment? You do know there was a Juke Joint/“sound system” culture in the south right? And if caribbeans are the reason they existed in NYC Dj culture, whats the reason for it existing in the midwest with no caribbeans around?

[@adondoddamon]

@@jerseydevils9686 This statement doesn't sound right to me it's as if your saying I couldn't invent something because I didn't make the equipment. As if your saying I couldn't invent a new supercomputer because circuit boards weren't made in Spain. 😑 Plus these sound systems were hand made by carpenters and sound engineers and put in the streets to play music. Obviously Kool Herc soaked this up and then added his own spin to it. Do you think he would've brought this to NY if he hadn't witnessed it in JA first?

[@jerseydevils9686]

conway walcolm My point is that the equipment/concept wasnt invented in Jamaica so idk how you think a culture of big speakers/amps blasting music was at any point exclusive to Jamaica. And im telling you it was being done in parts of the states where there were no caribbeans or knowledge of JA sound systems Yes many built them from scratch and many bought ready made equipment. Youre stating Herc “soaked it up” with certainty when its just conjecture. You dont know that. He was a kid when he left JA and has said so himself his set was based more on Disco Dj sets...Djs before him who werent Jamaican and played the same genres he did.

This was cool, but they gotta talk about bboying/breakdancing and tagging/graffiti cause they only covered 2 out of the 4 pillars of hip-hop. We gotta hear Questlove talk about the story of Afrika Bambaataa and how hip-hop was meant to uplift the youth and gradually get em outta gang culture. Even up here in Minnesota in the early 2000s we had a lot of Asian gangbangers (mostly Hmong kids of refugees from the Vietnam war who were stuck in the ghetto) but bboying got a lot of them away from that lifestyle. Same happened with the Asians in California. That's why Asians dominated that show America's Best Dance Crew. Filipinos in Cali had crazy gangs like Sathanas in the 90s, but then we got The Jabbawockeez.
