The 5 elements of Hip Hop in under 2 minutes with Randy Mason

[@kingslairproductions2892]

CORRECT! SOME AS LIKE MYSELF WOULD SAY B-BOYS AND B-GIRLS WOULD BE THE 5 ELEMENT BECAUSE THEY DEFINE THE KNOWLEDGE, DRESS AND WHAT'S ACCEPTED IN TRUE HIP HOP CULTURE! WHERE'S AS NOW YOU HAVE RECORD COMPANIES AND MAJOR COOPERATIONS TRYING TO DEFINE IT FOR US!

[@thrivemusic8215]

Sooo are we going to acknowledge the Black American creators of hip hop or will we ignore it and erase us from our creation?

[@RandyMason]

This video is more so about the elements of Hip Hop than it is about the creation or creators of Hip Hop.

[@Tfutalkingbout]

@@RandyMason yes and Black Americans have been documented doing each of those so called “elements” long before the Caribbean immigrant Africa bambatta started calling Black American culture “hip hop”. You can’t acknowledge any element without acknowledging the creators of each element which are Black Americans with southern roots.

[@RandyMason]

@@Tfutalkingbout I'm a Black Puerto Rican American (emcee) from the Bronx with Southern roots. Thanks for watching the video.

[@Tfutalkingbout]

@@RandyMason how are u black Puerto Rican with southern roots? Was your family enslaved in America ?

[@RandyMason]

@@Tfutalkingbout unfortunately

[@Alex-rb5pd]

The hip hop spirit like other people have done this before and here’s my take at it. Do you know what i mean.

[@RandyMason]

indeed. not the first nor the last just an emcee contributing to the cypher.
