The History Of Sound Clash Culture

[@chemonmusic]

God bless Jamaica, such a small place that has had such a huge impact on the world.

[@Tetherous101]

Who is here after several after several American say that Hip Hop wasn't influenced by caribbean culture?

[@rudebwoyshevz]

They’re delusional. Our art form began in the 50s and they say that Jamaica stole from them. Even this Verzuz thing they came up with.

[@sarahashun1180]

As an Anglo-African, I’m furious. I just saw an interview with an early hip-hop artist who claimed that talking over music and diss tracks started in the Bronx, along with the fashion, dance, etc., and how the culture has influenced the whole world. As a child, my parents played traditional African music and highlife music, which was really popular before the inception of Afrobeat. There were many artists who spoke over music. However, I uploaded a comment stating that, when it comes to Western culture and influences, Jamaicans have pioneered so much of today’s culture, which African Americans constantly appropriate. My brother listened to dub music and had a sound system with his friends. He used to play the diss tracks between I Roy, U Roy, Big Youth, etc. I pointed out that they called it toasting. I also pointed out that the beats used in dancehall music and even the various dances have all been appropriated. But I’ve been getting pushback. They’re so insular and ignorant. The lies make my blood boil. That small island deserves all the credit. Perhaps they need to make a film to change the narrative.

[@akeem2752]

Jamaican toasters already said they got the idea from visiting the U S and listening to American radio/music. There is recorded evidence of black American artists performing music that is very close to rap back as early as the 1930s. What you got?

[@sarahashun1180]

@@akeem2752 Well, there’s African traditional music that goes way back before rap. Furthermore, rap officially started in the 70s, while toasting started in the 40s and became popular in the 60s. So stop trying to rewrite history. This is something Americans always do. Moreover, during the 70s, an influx of Jamaican immigrants settled in the Bronx and other parts of NY. So stop reaching! Needless to say, it doesn’t matter what you think because the history books, including the World Wide Web, give the prize to Jamaica😁 Incidentally, please stop lying. There isn’t a single Jamaican Toaster who would say they were influenced by rap. 🤣😂🤣 They’re older than the pioneers of rap! Use some logic before you put pen to paper 🤪😜

[@rudebwoyshevz]

@@akeem2752 Ackeem, you’re going to have to try harder than that to prove a point when speaking to me. Rudimentary styled arguments will not work here. Are we talking about rap or toasting? Are they similar or are they different? You argue that Jamaicans got the idea from Americans yet you have provided no proof of the person from whom this “rap style” or “toast style” was copied from. Toasting and DJ are two different things. Yet you have also provided no context as to what your idea of toasting is. Furthermore, there is no such thing as a “Jamaican toaster” (according to my knowledge). I have got nothing to provide to you because I wish to build no bridge towards you, but rather to destroy any connection that you hoped to build towards Jamaica. Until you can provide verifiable existence of such evidence, your arguments will forever be faulty.

Yes, there was influences from the American Jazz and r&b but Musicians like Ernest Ranglin couldn't catch the style from rhythm of Jazz when trying to play on his Guitar. Imitating and creating OF OWN STYLE is not the same thing.

[@TheGuest954]

@@africangodman6145 Yes it was created in Jamaica and all of those creators said r & b, soul, jazz and blues were the foundation for what they were doing. They named artists like Billy Eckstine, Fats Domino, BB King, Sarah Vaughn and others who they were emulating. There were two South Florida radio stations that they picked up the signals from that were being broadcasts in the Caribbean. WEDR in Miami and WRBD in Fort lauderdale. They all admitted exactly what I'm saying. Pull up the video by Clement Dodd the father of Jamaican toasting and dj'ing who himself stated he learned it while working in South Florida.

[@TheGeeLuv]

Dancehall music cut, pasted, edited, and copied from R&B, Disco, and Funk music. Dancehall music was BORN because of American music from the 1920s until the 1970s. Dancehall music came about in the LATE 1970s because of the inspiration from our music. DJ Harc played our music (NOT Reggae) at these block parties. He adapted to our culture and music and played many James Brown remixes. Afrika Banbodaa ate my mother's soul food, and he loved soul food. Afrika Banbodae related more to the American and African culture than his West Indian roots in the 70s and 80s. Foundational Americans were doing block parties with speakers and turntables/remixes in the South Bronx in the early 70s and mid-70s in the Soundview area. I remember the MC standing on the speakers while telling us to scream "The South Bronx." A VIDEO CALLED JAMAICA'S MUSIC PIONEERS SHOWS THEY COPIED US, "TOASTING" CAME FROM US AND DEBUNKED YOUR MYTHS.
