The official story that Kool Herc "created Hip Hop" at that party in the Bronx is a glamorization. DJs in all 5 burroughs were doing similar things. Graffiti writers were coming up all over. Breakers from Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Harlem and Staten Island were all grooving to the same beats and popping and locking. MCs all over NY were all toasting and rapping in a similar fashion. It’s just so easy to pinpoint to that Get down on Sedgwick because it’s documented, there are flyers out there and all. But Hip Hop began as an organic, grassroots movements as an natural response to the reality of the times. It was not limited to a single borough.

[@harryx6968]

Proof?

[@danielhutchinson2133]

Living proof.

[@diegoaespitia]

i mean. hip hop existed for a long time. "to rap" just meant to speak. and a lot of singers including james brown "rapped" its just saying words over a bear. eventually sure someone decided to spit some lyrics over ONLY drums and it flourished from there

The Winston's "Amen, Brother" was basically an improvisational take on Curtis Mayfeield and The Impressions "Amen." (1964) They, in turn, took the song from a film, "Lillies of the Field" (1963) where it was arranged by Jester Hairston. Hairston, probably knew the song as a traditional spiritual or gospel song, though it had been recorded by other groups over the years, as early as the 1943.

[@Bacopa68]

Sidney Poitier won a Best Actor Oscar for that movie. "Lilies of the Field" was massively popular in West Germany where the film won many awards.

To all the technically-adept musicians out there watching this video who spend their professional lives sweating the details of their music to make it all perfect, I just want to thank you for all the blood, sweat, and tears you have all put in to your craft. Over the years music has saved me from myself and jacketed me against an insane society I simply cannot fathom. I've lost myself in music when I was crumpled on the ground and I have moved to it while rejoicing. It has kept me company when I was lonely and given me something different to think about when I was filled with angst. Ironically, I grew up in recording studios back in the late 60's and early 70's in Chicago where my father put his commercial advertising music to tape. I had never seen so many microphones, foam shapes, and various widths of tape going from cassette up to 64-track tape that was about two inches wide. And the mixing board(s) spanned the entire width of the room, with one little guy chain-smoking and tickling those dozens and dozens of sliders and knobs like a puppet master. The recording studio was the most interesting thing I'd ever seen up to that point. And then the first time I heard them edit the raw recordings to double the strings section and then double it again it was like magically creating an entire orchestra. Seriously, you guys are wizards in the truest sense of the word. So please don't stop. There's magic in you begging to get out to the rest of us, and we really do need what you've got. Don't let the naysayers in your lives slow or trip you; cast them aside and believe in yourselves. Once you get to be 61 years old like me, I hope you can look back with a smile at your sense of accomplishment in exposing the world, making it more apt, and encouraging everyone to be stronger. My most sincere thanks to you all.

Hey brother, had to chime in. I needed to read rhat. Music is life. I have played drums all my life. I come from a well estabished music scene. Tight. And expands all genres. 25 year friends. Tons of them A few tradgedies later I am starting my life over in downton Toronto. After rehab lol. Just started playing again.Everything going great. April 8th I witnessed a man executed in the street. Random. Google Sherbourne station shooting. Crushed me. Last Tuesday a friend took me to see a Leafs game to cheer me up. I got beat for 2 subway stops and stabbed in the head at least 3 times. Same stop as the shooting. My apt is across the street.Which I am about to lose. The one thing that is keeping me sane is any chance I can go lay a beat for someone right now. No clue why I am typing this. Drunk and brain damaged. But yeah....life sucks. Bring those beats back

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

Man from a guy who has spent 45 years of my life in this industry. I just want to sincerely say Thank You !!! We do it ALL FOR YOU , and those like you ... I’ve never gotten rich , and will never be famous. And that’s ok , because music is the voice of GOD , we just translate it to emotions , and share it with everyone we can . At that point it’s up to them to receive it. When I look back I’m glad I chose this profession. It’s been hard , grueling , never ending work literally loosing blood , sweat , and tears on a daily bases. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every single minute of it. And I’m SO blessed that GOD gave me this talent/curse . And I just can’t imagine any other kind of life. The places , the people , the cities , most of all the shared love of music worldwide .. Again THANK YOU !!!! Because it’s really “all about you “ .... 🤠🎸🎶🙏✌️

[@adamchurvis1]

@@theofficialdiamondlou2418 I feel what I said very deeply for you and other dedicated musicians. I don't know why, but I love all genres of music both old and newly-created -- as long as I can feel the effort that went into it. I have been so very fortunate in my life to be present when great music has been played, both live, on recordings, and during the creation and post-production process in recording studios as a child fifty years ago. Go ahead and build your rocket to Mars, Mr. Musk-- I'll stick with these four guys who've been playing together for 17 years and sound like a single magnificent entity singing through the pain because they've been through twelve yards of hell and back over the years, but the music was the air, the blood, and the glue, and here they are still. I hope we meet some day. Let me know if you're ever in Atlanta. I'm easy to find.

This is not theft. This is a message to the people that slept The beauty of sampling is bringing back the magic of old music tracks because if sampling was not People would have forgot

I have said this for years! lol Non musicians do not understand what I mean when I say this. I say there are only so many riffs and beats.

At 5:06 that image looks like Cold Chillin’ Records and Juice Crew founder DJ Marley Marl, not Lou Flores. Marley Marl did a lot of beat re-creation vids for NI Maschine’s KZbin channel. His drum break of choice was the Honey Drippers “Impeach the President”. He was an early user of if not inventor of sample chopping, another innovation in what makes Hip-Hop music so groundbreaking. I’d love to see a video on the origins of sample chopping.

What changed hip hop was when the sp 1200 came out in 87 and you could sample for about 2 seconds. On about every 90’s hip hop album there is a sp 1200 being used for drums and sampling. What changed 80’s hip hop was the good old Roland 808 which everyone knows for the 808 kick drum
