Tariq Nasheed Dismantles Revisionist Hip Hop History | Podcast

[@TheCompanyMan]

Aight Analysts, I had a wide ranging conversation with Tariq Nasheed. The cultural historian and documentarian released a fantastic documentary called "Microphone Check: Hip Hop's Hidden History" which covers the true origins of each element of Hip Hop. The film interviews several founders including Grandmaster Caz, DJ Hollywood, Busy Bee, Sha-Rock, Corn Bread, and dives deep into the early days and origins of the culture that captured the world. Spoiler alert: I'm interviewed in the film as well. This conversation tackles Fat Joe's assertion that Puerto Ricans were 50/50 in Hip Hop's creation story, how Drake vs Kendrick Lamar resonated with Foundational Black Americans, debating President Barack Obamas legacy in regards to FBAs, being considered "divisive," and the hilarious story about how an incarcerated youth named Corn Bread created modern graffiti. Visit microphonecheck.com/ to view Hip Hop's Hidden History. Also, thank you to everyone who's donated to the linktree or Cashapp to help forward the mission of the channel. It's all happening.

😂😂😂 Mississippi birthed music in America and rapping started there! You all need to give Mississippi there flowers and give respect to your ancestors. Then the music jumped a crossed the river into Louisiana and Jazz other genres were born!!!! So you lying azz people who want to erase Mississippi and Louisiana out of history for birthing the music in America you have another thing coming!

It’s amazing how the people “with no culture “always have people trying to copy theirs. Here’s a little side note, the modern drums that everyone use was made by an FBA named DD Chandlier who’s parents were born during slavery and he’s from New Orleans. Every genre of music in America we created.

[@apexone5502]

Thank you for pointing that out. It was one of our own who created the drum set which ended up allowing us to further come up with genres that work best with certain drum patterns that you can't get from those separate drum ensembles that marching bands use. You get those modern drum patterns from drum sets only. Without the drum set, no one would've come up with the "On the One" concept that James Brown came up with because drum ensembles in a marching band always come up with polyrhythms that don't work in that steady rhythmic manner that works for Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, etc. With that being said, how in the world could any other group come up with our music when our music, rhythmically, is heavily based on an instrument one of our own had created?

I'm 65 years old from Marcy, Tompkins and Sumner Projects in Brooklyn. At the beginning of Hip-hop, there were Hispanics people in the neighborhood but they did not participate in our Parties or when we had Music in the Streets. They were heavily into Salsa, "Not James Brown". Now out of the 3 Projects I just named I can name 2 Hispanic guys that used to hang out with us. One was from Marcy and the other one was from Tompkins. It wasn't 50/50 then and it never was 50/50.. Not even now.. Look at Terror Squad., there's only one Black artist and that was Remy Ma.. Plus Big Pun brought her in, Not Fat Joe so I don't get what he's talking about??? If it was 50/50 someone please named the Hispanic rap artist's that was out at the beginning? I'll Wait.. I mean there's no hate it's just reality. Jamaican was and still is mainly in Flatbush Brooklyn and in the 70s there wasn't really that many Jamaican families there so how was we influenced by them??

[@mannybruce8950]

Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 . The movie " Rubble Kings " showed how heavy in the 70s gang culture along racial lines were . Black people were moving away from the street gangs and got into creating Hip Hop before the Puerto Ricans started to give up the gang culture . I remember the Hip Hop park jams in south Brooklyn and the Puerto Rican street gangs like the " Savage Skulls " and the " Crazy Homocides " would come around and most times it would break out in fights between the Black attendees and the PR gangs . The gangs might of not been having the big gang wars with each other like in the past but they still were going around f*cking with people , and the PR gangs liked f*cking with Black people . They were holding onto that gang sh*t up until the Black urban street styles started making them look like old played out glue sniffing dusty bums .

Black Americans and Americans as a whole are tired of the arrogant disrespect(including sabotaging) and so we're not taking it anymore. A lot of foreign people tend to get comfortable then begin to act exactly like where they come from. ie. tribalist, hostile, passive aggressive, act dumb, and etc. Why do you think there has been such a backlash throughout the entire West including USA, Canada, Scandinavian Nordic countries, UK, Australia, Europe, and etc. when it comes to immigration. Why do you think Europe has moved more Conservative when it comes to immigration. And, those weren't questions but a realization of the negative effects of bringing in new people(legal and illegal). Wise Federal Governments invest heavily into their own native population and citizens first. Even as generous as those Scandinavian Nordic countries they are basically closed their borders because of recent immigrants not assimilating, are hostile, and think they are entitled to the same Rights and Freedoms that they didn't even create or fight for🇺🇸

Rap is one of the most popular genres in the world, but unfortunately its history has never been properly documented. Native Black Americans have rapped in music since the post emancipation era. However most books, articles and documentaries insinuate or outright claim that the genre is something new that started in New York with the Hip-Hop youth movement.

[@Ayinde65]

Don't you think that Black people "rapped" over African drums, calypso, Cuban son, Brazillian sambas, blues and jazz? Jamaican toasting emerged out of the mobile sound systems and they talked over pre-recorded music. This was something totally different.

@Ayinde65 You're off-topic, Rap is an exclusively Native Black American creation and what's being spoken of is the fact that the genre hasn't been properly documented.

[@DuncanPinderhughe]

Like it or not, Puerto Ricans and mexicans just werent around black people like that back in the days; just like they arent today. theres always a few stragglers that are around, but theyve never been around black people to the point where they would influence anything within black america. keep in mind this was fresh off the civil rights act being passed. so the racism against most poc was still thick. still, there was no STRONG unity amongst poc back then. most of these groups have historically created their own little enclaves, which were separate from black america. everyone tackled the issue in their own little way. I have audio of MLK having to request spanish people to come out to his rallies for civil rights - mainly because many of them werent out there, and instead just sat back and took abuse. they had chicano movements and things like that. but for the most part, they were more so trying to join white america, as opposed to fight back vs a group that didnt want to unify with them. the group that tackled racism to the point where change was produced was black americans. and asians, 1st/2nd generation africans, Caribbean, mexicans etc benefitted from that fight. hence the reason u saw the population numbers for all the aforementioned group shoot thru the roof after 1965. anyways.... its impossible to claim u help create something with a group that the majority of the people from your culture have historically kept their distance from. it doesnt make sense

In 1978, I moved to Connecticut from California and had a friend from New York. I would hang out in the Bronx and attend Jungle Jams in the park. This was before King Tim III. was recorded. What I remember are black people with DJs and MCs. We went to Latino dances in hotel ballrooms, where Disco and Latin dance records were played.

its crazy how people change history

[@bootneyleefarnsworth7307]

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 phased 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?

Great conversation. One thing i would disagree with is the comparison between dj hollywood and drake. Dj hollywood may have been Black disco but he's the direct influence for modern rap. Hollywood is also the direct influence for djs like kid capri, he's also the first dj to drop mixtapes. In my opinion hollywood is definitely a founder of hip hop

Good break down Tariq really did his truth clearing the airwaves towards Hip Hop and lack of information on media. Rapping been going on long time but it was not a music genre but a style. 1970's to 80's things got upgraded in making it a music genre, FBA Hip Hop all the way straight from Jamaica.

This interview proves that only the real true Hip Hop platforns are gonna cover this masterdoc. The rest are too scared of what they corporate handlers might say.

[@MrHenry-yu1cc]

First, This was a great interview and I loved the conversation around the origin story of Hip Hop. I definitely want to see the movie! Secondly, I do want to note how dangerous and irresponsible it is to have the attitude that Tariq has about voting. Despite how anyone feels, the US political system works a certain way. By choosing to not participate because you do not feel that a candidate or particular party is doing what you want them to do is the practice of the uninformed, the uninitiated, and the ignorant. Those who are working against us are indeed voting. Remember, change can only be delivered "by the ballot or the bullet". Neither choice brings swift change. And for those who believe that we as black folk should stop voting for Democrats and should move towards the Republicans should pay more attention. For any and all their shortcomings, the democratic party pushes legislation that is in our favor. The Republican party has consistently voted against helping our people since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I'd also push back on brotha Tariq regarding his comments about Obama's presidency as a "nothing burger" and echo brotha Justin's response. Healthcare and body cams were huge. While it's true that it wasn't a black only healthcare bill, the apt saying is that a rising tide floats all boats. Blacks are routinely near the bottom when it comes to healthcare. So if everybody wins, we win too. Lastly, on the issue of body cams, let us not forget that it wasn't just body cams. The Department of Justice under President Obama's administration investigated police departments and was using Consent Decree's to hold them accountable and bring about change. When President Trump took office he shut all of that down. No more investigations. No more enforcing the already existing consen decree's. Voting does matter.

[@TheCompanyMan]

Well said. I completely forgot about the Consent Decree. Thanks for pointing that out.

Growing up in Philly around Latinos and Caribbeans during the 90s they did not listen to Hip-Hop and they would complain about our music.

[@eljovenlavoe75]

Dear Mr Justin Hunte & Mr Tariq Nasheed, and the rest of the people who stop and read this post. Nothing but respect to all of ya'all. My credentials: 49 year's old, from the Bronx half Puerto Rican/Dominican. (1975 baby) my older relatives were involved with the Hip-hop movement (on the block). They passed on to me. I always was in the belief that this culture was created with the help of both (Black's & Puerto Rican's) Us with the Break dance and the Graffiti, and our brother's with the rest. (That's what i saw growing up). But after all this fact's that has been shown on the "Microphone Check" documentary. It seems like we were the ""First Students"" of Hip-hop. As Tariq Nasheed mentioned. I ain't gonna lie, it felt like a grain of salt, a mix of indifferent and inferior, towards us. I guess we be good, being Pippen.

[@Assata_Shakur]

If Puerto Ricans created HipHop fifty fifty then how come they haven’t added to it in all of these years with dances, new rap cadence, or anything else that would be considered original. Unlike them, Break Dancing was just one style of dance that we created, and like most dances, they get old, so we put it down, and their tethering selves picked it up and was marketed to a broader audience I feel because they were considered more palatable to a YT main stream audience! We had been doing many of these same dances for years on TV, but like all of our other inventions, they feel it’s better when done by someone less BLACK!⏰🎤✅

My ear was turned on as a child in the 70s til now.At home in LA, I can still remember when hispanics made fun of Ohio player's, love roller Coaster.I was so pissed off as a kid comparing Ohio Players, to those damn tubas and horns that they use in their music, and that fucking ha ha at the end.Hispanics claiming hip-hop today, has way more to do with immigration and reparations claim type shit.They didn't have shit to do with the formation of hip-hop. They just want some fucking money.Trust me, I saw it all, and toured with a huge list of hip-hop artists and groups that I can prove.😮😮😮
