[@NAKMEEZY]

Great convo! Its good to see higher level conversations in the space.

[@yorubagold5921]

We need to be more than rappers, singers, basketball players, entertainment, etc

[@INTERNATIONALZOE]

We are but with fame goes popularity

[@NAKMEEZY]

Zoe Dropped nothing but facts! Anyone from NYC knows that FBA and PR's were not Rocking with us 100 pct like that. Once Pun came out the PRs was happy to have representation that looked like them. If they were 50/50 they wouldnt have had to wait until Pun. On the barber tip, the nicest barbers with the straight razor were puerto ricans and Dominicans.

[@levonjones907]

And they still don't

[@LarryJFly]

Prine Markie D & The Real Roxanne represented the Ricans rapping before Pun.

[@theobservermelanin1746]

@LarryJFly She was a one hit wonder, she was attractive tho.

[@NAKMEEZY]

@@LarryJFly Sorry but Pun was the first to go Platinum. Real Roxanne was a joke.

[@LarryJFly]

@NAKMEEZY Blame Hitman Howie Tee and UTFO

[@dhan219]

Zoe up here is speaking facts. Reggaeton started by remixing and sampling reggae music from Shabba Ranks dem bo. Before reggaeton, it was called Spanish reggae and was during the late 80’s to 90’s by El General from Panama who is Jamaican descent!

[@JayFocused]

💯 few know this. They lightened and whitened Reggaeton, the same way that they did Jazz, Hiphop, Reggae, Blues, Soul, Pop, Salsa, Bachata and every other music played around the world.

[@MotivationalMovements]

💯facts!

[@lamonttaylor5061]

Biggie Smalls has an immigrant linkage background got his way from Black American culture that is from FBA.

[@faustjoe]

The first time I went to Rio was for the world cup. I came back home and found Charles Tyler and I became hooked on his knowledge. I was shocked when he passed. That brother started a movement, it's amazing to see what he started. RIP my brother

[@Cahluvca]

Hip hop among other things showed me...us Freedmen have absolutely no allies on a macro level. "When its convenient"......

[@TheGlobeSpinner]

Zoe is speaking facts 1000 percent! I remember growing up and going to school with the Latin community here in Florida in the late 80s and 90s.

[@invisiblerevolution]

*STOP IT!!!!!* I'm from Philly.... you can't compare the "Latin Community" in Florida to the Latin Community in N.Y.C. or Philly.

[@TheGlobeSpinner]

@ Dude who’s comparing? You trying to debate a moot point. All of these states have a different experience with Latin communities and I also have family members that are Cubans and Puerto Ricans. Who are you debating with? No one said the Latin communities in NY or Philly were the same as Florida. Stop 🛑 the madness!

[@TheGlobeSpinner]

@ In fact, I would argue our Latin communities are straight from the Islands and their countries. We get them, in most cases first before they migrate to New York or Philly.

[@TheGlobeSpinner]

Florida has way more Latinos than Pennsylvania, so being from Philadelphia doesn’t compare to New York, California, Texas, and Florida which are all states with larger Latino populations! It’s facts!

[@JeremiahAddrow]

A 9-5 is a blessing I don’t care what nobody say

[@invisiblerevolution]

True.... my 9 to 5 pays all my BILLS, allows me to get my WANTS, plus save some money. But... eventually I do want to BREAKAWAY from the 9 to 5 grind, and work 4 self! 👍🏾

[@passportbros]

Yes but understand a 9-5 does hinder you from growth development. As well as being a black man you should never get to comfortable being the task handler for another race of MAN. First fired last hired. This is why the majority of homeless men in any major city are black men.

[@polobobprettyrickyiswhatth9920]

BMT and Zoe, I must say, you shortchanged the audience on this one. This video had the potential to be longer, as the discussion and information were highly engaging and insightful.💪🏾

[@hybrid711]

Good stuff BMT & Zoe.

[@003faze]

The States has the biggest megaphone and propaganda machine in the world

[@brianwilson2857]

[@thetravelsimba]

Great conversations between you two.

[@Klasik489]

Zoe is speaking 100% facts!! Everything he said was the truth!!

[@ericnjoroge5813]

Shout out to yall, this was a very good conversation I learned a lot. Shout out to Zoe 👏👏

[@bladerunner27x]

The 1st Rap/Hip-Hop artist are Late Boomers/Gen X. We went from segregation to growing up together. What changed the music was greed and lack of standards. The other genres stuck to their standards and their roots. Which your opening statements about respect for wisdom is what hurt the music. 👏🏾👏🏾🌴✌🏾🔥💯

[@punchtravelchannel]

Cool discussion fellas. Shout out to Zoe reppin NYC 🗽

[@turnersst]

From the words of Dupree, “Atlanta is the new Motown” y’all need to recognize.

[@Zee-yh4ow]

Nah

[@ANGRY_BUS_DRIVER]

This is a great convo

[@OPPK100]

Black Americans from nyc or on subject the Bronx in the early 70s were fresh from down south at least a lot of them were. Whether it was cool herc or bamabata they got famous catering to black Americans playing funk R&b classics etc. no one would have know they were carribeans if they never said anything. And you can’t tell me soul train wasn’t a big inspiration.

[@JohnnieBlaze6]

Those Puerto Ricans used to call Hip Hop music "Jungle Bunny" music and Zoe is dead on

[@Sidewinder528]

FACTZ

[@invisiblerevolution]

Stop da cap..... What Puerto 🇵🇷 Ricans??? You mean their old parents... who are like 80 now or dead.

[@JohnnieBlaze6]

@invisiblerevolution yeah old or new Puerto Ricans! Ain't no cap!!! Yall was listening to that Salsa shit!!!

[@BlackAirForces1s]

So did other black people

[@Cahluvca]

Antiblack-indigenous is the norm in Latin America....no one e should be surprised

[@OPPK100]

I didn’t know international Zoe was black American. You definitely got a new subscriber I thought you was Haitian

[@oz-zy]

lol why does it matter

[@OPPK100]

It’s easier to identify with your own people. Especially when you have a specific history. Why would t it matter

[@oz-zy]

@@OPPK100 if you agree and rock with his message why does it matter what his background or lineage is. Stop playing identity politics. This Tariq nasheed fba clownshit really brainwashed a lot of black men and it’s sad to see. Cmon man wake up.

[@baninternetdad]

Great segment, bruhs.

[@olowasegun6829]

Zoe is brilliant

[@yorubagold5921]

We Black folks are racist too, we gotta stop capping with this holy B.S lol

[@durellperch1163]

This why I’m glad I grew up in Detroit. Them PR’s Mexicans Arabs whiteboys all act like us but they ain’t sayin Nigga. Look at Eminem. They ain’t have no choice to be around us cuz we in a 85% city. It ain’t the same aa 80’s-00’s but still

[@hiruu]

Now we see more Reggaeton artists starting to cop Afrobeats! I’m like…dang, 🤷🏾‍♂️.

[@MotivationalMovements]

Regatón aka Spanish reggae started in Panama by BLACK ARTIST. Most notably El General!

[@openranks4519]

Aaron and Zoe is the only collab better than Aaron and Danny😎

[@ps4gamesonly623]

WE NEED BRO ZOE IN THE NEXT FILM MICROPHONE CHECK , WHENEVER TARIQ DOES A PART TWO... SHOUT OUT TO FBA FAMILY IN THE BUILDING....

[@bauttiet.h.u.g.5900]

Lost me when you equated ppl getting rich through illegal acts to being smart

[@Getawayk]

Facts. since when is crime smart or something to aspire to lol

[@Getawayk]

Whenever I hear “act black” I laugh. What does acting black mean? Is there one way we all are supposed to carry ourselves? Acting off of a stereotype is what they mean.

[@INTERNATIONALZOE]

No but when they are behaving in a similar way that some black people carry themselves it’s just a generalization.

[@turnersst]

Detroit turned Atlanta out!!!!!we came down there and let y’all know how to get down. The south didn’t get popular until BET on cable TV became popular, so let’s keep it real!!!!!!

[@elperro3056]

Where ya at Thailand

[@passportnuke]

[@Xanatos_Clutch]

Respect to these guys for speaking on this, but I guess BM who don't want to act "urban" are screwed then?

WHAT UP DOE! Detroit Techno!!!! Is a mix of George Clinton and Kraftwerk. Detroit is the ::;,,!hit. currently, we change Germany when the wall came down.

Everybody has their time and hip hop basically dead, detrimental rap is running rampid now and killing itself off.

[@kappaflappadappa]

Zoe was flat out wrong about the reggae influence on hip hop. Kool Herc, an originator, was born in Jamaica. They started rapping in Jamaica in the 60s and 70s but they called chat pon de track, etc.

[@INTERNATIONALZOE]

No you’re wrong it’s documented that Kool Herk was playing black Americans music and his senior is on camera saying they were influenced by American music. Lastly there are older groups in American that were rapping on records but they didn’t call it rap yet also have you ever heard of the last poets?

[@kappaflappadappa]

@INTERNATIONALZOE Check the link and be enlightened. They influenced each other.

[@INTERNATIONALZOE]

@@kappaflappadappaI provided dates quotes names of groups now all of a sudden they influence each other lol whatever man. The debate is not that there wasn’t any other influence it’s always been who created it.

[@kappaflappadappa]

The mastering of dubbing in reggae allowed an artist to “toast”-the predecessor to rapping or emceeing-over instrumental versions of songs. Jamaican DJs usually existed only to hype up songs, but dubbing pioneer King Tubby set a new standard with his emphasis on giving bass and rhythm a prominent spot on his remixes. Tubby commissioned DJ extraordinaire U-Roy to toast over his head-knocking mixes-which is recognized as the true creation of rapping. There is strong speculation that hip-hop’s forefathers-Barbados-born Grandmaster Flash, Jamaica’s Kool Herc, and Afrika Bambaataa-gained their inspiration directly by King Tubby and U-Roy.

[@theobservermelanin1746]

Honestly, the words Hip Hop was not used in 1979 to 1991. Rap music is what it is . Stop saying hip hop. Black men created Rap Music. Rappers rap to Rap Music. Fuq Hip Hop.

[@INTERNATIONALZOE]

Many MC’s referred to it as HipHop even in their records all through the 80’s MC Shan released “The Bridge” in 1986 First verse: “Hip Hop was set out in dark they use to do it out in the park” Rap is one of the 5 elements of hip hop and hip hop was first used in 1973

[@theobservermelanin1746]

@INTERNATIONALZOE Rap Music was made by Black men. The Northeast wasn't the only place that made platinum hits. Yo MTV Raps , BET RAP City put Rap Music on mostly and definitely helped sell Rap music with videos. After it's all said and done Rap Music is not Hip Hop. NWA a multi-platinum selling group did not use Hip Hop. Too Short did not use the words Hip Hop. Those words didn't exist in the 80's when Commercial Rap Music was being Born. I lived it Zoe.

[@Sidewinder528]

You don't know what u talking about...."1 2 3 The Crew is called BDP and if you wanna go to the Tip Top Stop The Violence in HIP-HOP" - KRS1 1988. You cats that ain't from NYC shouldn't be commenting on this. It was called Hip Hop DECADES ago

Rap or to MC is the actions Hip Hop is the group of the five elements of Hip Hop and the phrase was coined in 1973.

@INTERNATIONALZOE MC was Microphone Check. You are 100% correct Zoe you are younger than me. You really grew up in the 90's
