Hip Hop Party at Bronx River Center, 1980s New York

[@idread1104]

Crazy fresh times! Most didn't have much but you had your music and hip hop culture.

[@jrallday]

What a time to be alive. I wish I could’ve experienced that era 🏆

[@thugmonk9837]

Blows my mind that these kids created the most dominant youth culture on the planet basically out of nothing. Out of the burnt up rubble of the south bronx they created America's biggest export. It's just amazing to me.

[@bicoastalent]

😂 Please, this party was over a decade later after #HipHop was invented.

[@kevinforeman4485]

And was destroyed. Today's rap music is NOT hip hop.

Latinos -- puerto ricans particularly -- explain how you co-created or co-invented yet another installment in the legacy of Black Musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't co-create or co-invent any of the elements of the 14 or so African American music forms that preceeded it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of Black American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout, or even prior to the previous 14 or so Black American music forms that are mentioned above. Yet then, all of a sudden--out of nowhere, you folks come along and falsely claim latinos and/or puerto ricans co-created and co-invented Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by derrick colon, radical latino, fat joe and numerous other un-informed and envious latinos---claims latinos never mentioned, verbalized or asserted during its inception in the early 1970's)---latinos claims of "50/50--half & half co-creation and co-invention just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly coming under heavy scrutiny which is leading to these claims being easily debunked--as it should've been. Moreover, the heavy hateful and many times racist criticism directed at the Black American youngsters, by the racist white media over having created Rap and Hip Hop, latinos -- particularly puerto ricans -- and jamaicans NEVER came forward to denounce the vicious onslaught, yet 50 years later they want to take credit for this FBA art form that they didn't create.

Too much style! See some webo dancers in there too. One of few videos of that style. New York always killing it.

That lie Puerto Ricans weren’t involved in HOP HIP!! I seen plenty of Puerto Rocs in this early footage.

[@bxdale83]

This is not early. Hip Hop was 10-12 years old in 1983. There weren't many in the early 70's

[@100jenaboo]

As a Jamaican I can tell you that the Puerto Ricans were there with us. AA now and then we're xenophobic. They didn't join in until 10 years later when it came above ground

[@brooklynmedina7676]

This is a decade AFTER hip hop started. Yall are hilarious. Crazy Legs is admittedly 2nd generation bboy and they’re on video saying they were mimicking African Americans.

This footage was used for the 1982 Planet rock video but most of these shots are from late 1983, so the video for Planet Rock came out in 83/84
