Herc was the first to use two copies of the same record but he needle dropped and didn't necessarily do it on beat. Flash built a cueing system that he rigged to his mixer so that he was able to hear the record before it went out to the audience so he could loop the break and keep it going on beat. I'm currently rereading Hip Hop by Steven Hager, the first book on Hip Hop. This was clearly laid out in that book in 1983.

I'm not from NY or that era and I'm not saying your wrong but I've never read or heard that Pete DJ Jones was using two copies of the same record. That is something that has always been attributed to Herc. Flash talks about getting on to Pete DJ Jones set and being able to pre-cue the record for the first time which inspired him to rig his own cueing setup. If you remember or can point me to information saying that Pete DJ Jones was using two copies of the same record, I would appreciate it. Peace

Its all good. There aren't any scholastic levels books or articles that go into depth about the history of hip hop. Its like the blind leading the blind, people have just been repeating the same story that they heard someone else say. The journalist who do theses interviews, and the authors of these articles and hip hop books dont even know what questions to ask. They dont know the history of music in the last 50 years. They never question the authenticity of anything that flash, herc, bam, or krs one, etc. says. Therefore the media has spread a romanticized version of the origins of hip hop.

Amazing Breakdown this week. It's all a matter of perspective.

I think Justin hit the point home with Terry McAuliffes statement on "Zero property damage" when the reality caught on camera was by far worse. By the way. I just wanna say how shocked I am with the last week. I'm from the UK and I really love the US and its culture and I never though I would ever see that kind of open bigotry paraded as freedom of speech in my life time.

Great video. I don't think that was a shot at Bambaataa or an intentional one. Those allegations are too tough and touchy to be around. Promoting anyone who's facing them would be a career suicide if you're a public figure. It's only right to dissociate yourself from the person if you're not family member until they are exonerated and clear if all charges. Hip hop doesn't need to be under the spotlight as "promoting child molesters". Remy put Nicki on blast for it, but Nicki's situation is kind of complex because that's family.

Hip Hop's standard history is phony and commercial. It's impossible to pin point who originated any particular DJ technique since experimentation with turntables was popular among New York DJs in the Disco era(the 1970s) and it wouldn't mean the creation of the Hip Hop genre anyway since people were already rapping in songs before the terms "Rap" or "Hip Hop" were used to describe the music(a somewhat common, but little known fact to most people). I'm not saying New York DJs aren't a part of Hip Hop's history, what I'm saying is they didn't originate the art form. There's no one person or select few that are responsible for Hip Hop's creation and it wasn't something created at a single party. Like Jazz, Blues, Rock & Roll or any form of music that started on the grassroots level; Hip Hop is a COLLECTIVE creation that involved many people over an extended period of time

The debate around who started what in Hip Hop will never go cold. Which reminds me, I watched the Founding Fathers documentary some time ago that credits earlier "disco" DJs like DJ Hollywood, Maboya, Grandmaster Flowers, Pete DJ Jones, Disco KIng Mario, Disco Twins as the true fathers of Hip Hop, although Herc and his kin in the Bronx would say otherwise. Somewhere in the comment section, of that same documentary, someone mentioned Jocko Henderson, crediting Philly as the real birthplace of Rap/Hip Hop. Ultimately, these sort of conflicts will continue to exist for the foreseeable future. It's basically modern scientific community dubs Charles Darwin the father of evolution yet Alfred Russell Wallace also contributed substantially to the same theory right around the same time. Everyone wants their side of the story to be the right one.

Low-key RIP to Bambaataa. I saw him DJ before the allegations for the 206Zulu 10th Anniversary Jam, along with also legendary status Dj Qbert. In my head, his legacy has like an asterisk. I think if somebody does delve into Hip Hop History, they will learn the name but they should have the context that we don't really talk about him anymore. That being said, Kool Herc was the first to extend a break and GMFlash was the first to touch a record, essentially creating Turntablism. If can categorize it like that then both Pioneers get a claim to be first at something.

Folks don't know about herc because as he was the founder Flash took it and became more famous and popular than all the DJs for at least 3 years then there was GW Theodore Who was in a class by himself as was Jazzy J Who is a Legend in his own Right. Charlie Chase who made near no Mistakes and stayed on Beat. Etc. As much as you may not want to admit Flash was the Top DJ and icon to many a D.J.
