For a skinny white kid in the country back then, it was a whole new world for me and the images they painted with their words in my mind, and I dunno “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“ but I think and feel, were a big part of making me the artist I am today at 50.

North American culture, including north American black culture, has always been mass-communicated to the rest of the world. The prosperity of the USA, just helped it take a technological leap forward before many countries in the 20th century. So, those of us who are black but not from the USA, have not necessarily seen our complete story portrayed in mass media. We have often had to learn about "blackness" by consuming north American black culture, whether it be in song, movie, play documentary, etc. I haven't been anywhere on this planet, where people don't like Motown. And, it's why my Jamaican parent's record box was full of black RnB and soul music. It was also full of American country and western music. We knew the Rock Steady covers of north American black soul classics, and we also understood how the slight change in swing towards our own timing could change a soul classic to rocksteady gold. If folks know proper sound system history, then they know not to say Jamaicans created Hip-Hop.

@RealTalk Hip hop isn’t an offshoot of African American music such as soul , disco and funk because it’s a a culture unlike disco funk and soul . Hip hop music is completely different from those musics . Disco isn’t even African American music lol . Hip hop wasn’t created by African Americans because the culture and even just the music was pioneered by people of many different Backgrounds. Funk music and James Brown isn’t the most influential part of Hip hop. Hip hop isn’t African American culture nor is James Brown. James brown never put any “good foot” forward with a new sound that became known as Hip Hop. James Brown isn’t the most sample Artist in Hip hop lol . His calls and response didn’t influence hip hop choruses . One reason being Because hip hop doesn’t have choruses . James Brown didn’t influence that many genres of music. Most bboys and bgirls aren’t influenced by James Brown . Most of hip hop dance has nothing to do with the Footwork of James Brown . James Brown songs were sampled in Hip Hop records along with many other artist , that doesn’t make him influential or even relevant . James brown nor his music was even the Biggest thing at the time in the Bronx as far as music , dance and style . Nor was funk music . Kool Herc never mixed any music . Simply played music and created Break Beats for that music for the people to dance . He didn’t use Funk, Rnb and soul . He used British Rock and Latin Funk records when playing music and breaking break beats . Funk , Jazz, Disco and Rnb aren’t all Contemporary African American music nor culture

but the Pioneers of Hip Hop was. jamaican guy, A jamaican guy who was influenced by African Amerian... HIPHOP WAS BREAK DANCING TO BREAK DOWNS IN THE RECORD!!!!!!!.."...Jamaica gained independence from British colonial rule in 1962. Around that time, music was disseminated in Jamaica largely by way of "sound systems": massive sets of amplifiers and speakers that were moved from town to town to entertain dancers at outdoor parties. Records were played by the sound system's "selector[DJ]," who chose the songs and announced them over his microphone. Sometime around 1956, a few selectors began experimenting with talking over their records, rather than simply between them-incorporating the jive slang of Black Americans with patois, a distinctive West Indian dialect of English. This "chatting" or "toasting" was a hit with audiences and other selectors began to follow suit. The selector/DJ[toaster/MC]/sound system arrangement was an integral component in the development of Jamaican music through the twentieth century, as it evolved from its African roots and native Calypso folk sounds such as mento, to rocksteady and ska in the 1950s and 60s, and on to reggae, a genre that was exported to the world with great success beginning in the 1970s. IT IS ALSO THE PRIMARY ANCESTOR OF THE HUGELY SUCCESSFUL GENRE OF BLACK AMERICAN MUSIC ALTERNATELY KNOWN AS RAP OR HIP HOP. The sound system concept was brought to the United States by Clive Campbell, better known as Kool Herc, a Jamaican-born selector whose thunderous Herculoids sound system rocked South Bronx clubs and parties in the early- to mid-70s." 👉🏿DIGITAL SAMPLING: A CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE👈🏿 by Henry Self

Cool Herc didn’t bring any Jamaican influence, he assimilated into African American Culture. The Jamaican sounds system was copied from African Americans

@ +abstrakt84 If you watch the video again, 2:45 Herc says Baby Huey "The Mexican", which is exactly what I commented on. I am well aware of "The Mexican" being by the british rock band Babe Ruth. I still find it a bit funny that he is getting his breaks mixed up, thou' :)

Maybe they edited what he was saying. Or he was just rhyming of breaks. Baby Huey was probably Listen To Me.
