Born John Matos, CRASH was part of the OG graffiti artists who painted on subway trains in New York. Like other iconic graffiti originators, he has collaborated with major brands, including Levi’s, Fender, and Absolut Vodka.What many do not know is that the majority of the people who were influenced and later contributed to hip hop were Latinos. Puerto Ricans are MCs', break dancers like the Rock Steady Crew, and Graffiti artists (Sal Rojas, Brown Pride).Another b-boy crew with Latinx members, which was there during the birth of Hip-hop, is the New York City Breakers. Hailing from the Boogie Down Bronx, the original five members were: Chino “Action” Lopez, Tony “Powerful Pexster” Lopez, Noel “Kid Nice” Mangual, and Matthew “Glide Master” Caban. The group shared hip-hop all over the world, with many people, including the King and Queen of Norway, Prince Andrew, and President Reagan (making them the first hip-hop group to perform for a sittingNew York City BreakersDJ Disco Wiz

Let this busta tell it is that native black Americans didn’t create anything it came from the islands even when those old Jamaican DJs said along time ago that they copied native black Americans but hey let them tell it! To be honest Bam molested a lot of them dudes to none of them was willing to challenge him knowing he has them pictures of them dudes doing weird shit! If anybody go back when Hassan Cambell was exposing booty bandit Bam he said how Bam got him is he showed him pictures of other dudes doing it! Hass said he seen such and such suck, 😂 nah that was a joke but he did say he seen dudes he looked up to and thought that the dude was some of the toughest he knew so he said it was ok to let booty bandit bam do it ti him!

If you didn't grow up with Puerto ricans in the Bronx in the late 60s early 70s then you literally have no solid evidence on wether they played a role in contributing in the development of hiphop. Not even the pioneers agree across the board on certain details on how things went back then. The Bronx is a big place with lots of different crews and gangs of blacks and Puerto Ricans that did pretty much everything together. So going off that logic it wouldn't make sense to say that all of the sudden those same gangs and crews that got into hip hop magically were separate.

Hip-Hop music & culture was 1st created by young black men.... BUT people need to remember that the young latino men were there from the very beginning helping with the building of this dope thing called hip-hop... 1st it was the Puerto Ricans in 1970's New York, then the Mexicans in 1980's California, etc, etc. I got into hip-hop in 1982 as a 10 year old Mexican kid in LA California when pretty much the only kids into hip-hop over here were black kids and Mexicans kids, it was kind of rare to see a white or asian kid into hip-hop back then, I knew a few that were casually into breakdancing when it became popular but they weren't really into hip-hop music & culture, as soon as the huge popularity of breaking started dying out in the mid 1980's they moved onto other things while the Black & Mexican kids continued to represent hip-hop! It wasn't until hip-hop went mainstream in the 1990's that all other races & nationalities got involved... but in the 1970's & 1980's it was the black & latino youth supporting & elevating the new underground culture we now call hip-hop! :)
