[@aferrer74]

🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🎤🎧🎶🎵🎛🎚☝️✌️👍Hip-Hop began as an expression of poverty- stricken inner city minority youths who grew up during the 1960s and 1970s. It is a musical form that incorporates a shared, lived urban experience that revolved around music-rhyming and dancing; often makes a social statement against the harsh realities they must deal with on a daily basis; and graffiti. While African Americans concentrated on serving as disc jockeys and master of ceremonies, Puerto Ricans and other Latino Caribbeans contributed heavily to the hip hop aspects of break dancing and graffiti (6)Although it is widely acknowledged that hip-hop began in the early 1970s in the South Bronx, New York, the mainstream media view it as an African American cultural expression. African American tend to view it as exclusively their own, and even Puerto Ricans and other Latinos tend to view it as "black" music. However, its birth and development were a joint creative effort of African American and Latino Afro Caribbean youngsters, particularly, Puerto Ricans. Some researches have suggested that Puerto Ricans' significant role has often been overlooked due to the lack of knowledge concerning Puerto Ricans in general, their small population in comparison to African American throughout the Unites States, and their relatively recent arrival, as opposed to the long history of African Americans in the US.Puerto Ricans have played a fundamental role in the development of hip-hop since its inception in the early 1970’s. In those days they were primarily celebrated for their contributions to breakdancing and graffiti, but although their presence wasn’t as profound on the mic or in the DJ booth since day one there were definitely Ricans putting it down across all elements. “I wanna remind everybody that may not know - how the origin of hip-hop was started. The origin of hip-hop was started by the power of Black and Puerto Rican people. In case you needed to be reminded,” Busta said to cheers from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico crowd. “A lot of motherf**kers wanna try to gentrify our culture. A lot of motherf**kers wanna try to act like they conveniently forget who fathered this s**t. Black people and Puerto Rican people together. We created the greatest culture in the f**king world and its called hip hop. Facts!”Puerto Rican and Cuban DJ Disco Wiz, born Luis Cedeño, is credited as being the very first Latino DJ in Hip-hop. The Bronx native was one half of the Mighty Force crew, with Grandmaster Caz (then Casanova Fly), who presented the first Latino rapper, Prince Whipper Whip. Wiz is also credited with creating the mixed plate in 1977, the first mixed dub recording in Hip-hop.Pumpkin was a legendary music producer, of Afro-Costa Rican/Afro-Panamanian descent, and known as the King of the Beat. Born Errol Eduardo Bedward, Pumpkin was right there at the beginning of hip-hop, working with OG artists such as Treacherous Three, Grandmaster Caz, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Spoonie Gee, from 1979 to 1984.Hip-Hop is one of the most vibrant products of the late 20th century youth culture. Now York Puerto Ricans have been key participants, as producers and consumers of the culture and hip-hop art forms since hip-hop's very beginning during the early 1970's in the South Bronx. We continue showcasing Latinx OGs who were pioneers of the hip-hop element of graffiti with Lee Quiñones. The legendary Nuyorican artist was part of a group of artists who created art on New York subway trains, and is considered to be “the single most influential artist to emerge from the New York City subway art movement.” Lee’s first subway piece was created in 1974 and in late 1975, he was asked to join the graffiti crew The Fabulous Five. The crew painted the only running 10-car subway train that was painted on from top to bottom, and from end to end. Quiñones’ work appeared in the iconic 1983 graffiti documentary, Style Wars, and since then, he was collaborated with several brands, including Adidas and Nike.Next on our list of Latinxs who were pioneers in the musical genere of hip-hop is the artist Tracy 168. Also known as Michael Tracy, the New York native is one of the pioneers of graffiti. He is credited with inventing the Wildstyle graffiti style (you’ve seen it before - it features overlapping and interlocked letters, arrows, and curves; all the detail often makes the words hard to read). Wild Style was also the name of the graffiti crew he founded, which also includes fellow Puerto Rican artist and graffiti pioneer Cope2. In addition to being one of the OG’s of graffiti, Tracy 168 also mentored some other major artists, such as SAMO, and Keith Haring.Errol Eduardo Bedward, known as Pumpkin was a musician, percussionist and band leader. He was renowned for being the one behind many break beats and hip hop tracks from 79' to 84' such as Spoonie Gee, Treacherous 3, Grandmaster Caz, Fearless Four, Funky 4, Dr Jeckyll & Mr HydeLatinos have virtually been erased, or at least consistently left out, of stories regarding the origins of hip-hop. But we were there! Hip-hop is made up of four elements: MCs/rappers, B-boys/B-girls, graffiti, and DJing. Did you know that a lot of the b-boys, or breakers (calling these talented dancers “breakdancers” or referring to the style as “breakdancing” is considered to be both inaccurate and passe), were Latinx (more often than not Puerto Rican)? Pioneering breaking crews such as the Rock Steady Crew and the New York City Breakers had Latinx members and founders.If you look up the history of Hip-hop music, there is always credit given to the African-American youth of the Boogie Down Bronx, who created the most popular genre in the world, out of nothing. They used their stories, life experiences, and their natural talent to create music which has since resonated with people all around the world. But it wouldn’t really be hip-hop without also giving credit to the other two POC groups who helped create the genre and seasoned it with their influence - Caribbeans and Latinos. is the birthplace of Hip-Hop, it comes to no surprise that the intermingling of Puerto Rican and West Indies along with Black styles are the main contributors to the basic Hip-Hop essence.South Bronx is the birthplace of Hip-Hop, it comes to no surprise that the intermingling of Puerto Rican and West Indies along with Black styles are the main contributors to the basic Hip-Hop essence.Often, when people here Hip-Hop they associate it with only African-Americans. However, Hip-Hop is actually the combination of West Indian, Puerto Rican, Blacks of New York. Hip-Hop has always been open to a diverse audience, and thus is not limited to one specific group. DJing started in Jamaica, where the artist would mix and scratch music with repetitive phrases mixed it. In Jamaica, and in many area of the West Indies, music is used as important as politics. Music was used to express the voice of the citizens. Political parties themselves used the musics of DJs to represent their positions. As people from the West Indies moved into New York and specifically the Bronx, they began to incorporate their values of music as a form as expression. When the West Indians began to live with the Puerto Ricans and African Americans of the South Bronx, their art of music mixed in with the rapping and rhyming of the people living there. Hip-Hop began to include in general, Rapping, DJing, Graffiti and Break Dancing. DJ Kool Herc and other DJ from the West Indies, gaining popularity from their style of music, began to encourage the youth to get involved in the art of Hip-Hop. Soon some gangs began to focus their concentration on Hip-Hop rather than using violence to express their anger with the environment they were in. Afrika Bambaataa would find the Universal Zulu Movement, which was a gang that focused on Hip-Hop. What all the people involved in Hip-Hop do have in common is how the merge the struggles of every day life, and their environment into their various forms of art in a way that people facing similar difficulties can also relate. Hip-Hop then turns into a voice of all those New Yorkers, and even beyond, who are constantly trying to improve their lives in a difficult environment.

Rap and Hip-Hop are both Black AmericanDOS creations, however they're two different things with different histories. Ninety nine percent of the time when people say Hip-Hop what they really mean is Rap, the "Hip-Hop" term needs to be fazed out when discussing music. Technically, Hip-Hop is a youth movement that was birthed in the Bronx and died there. The Hip-Hop term has been misused and thrown around loosely and inappropriately for decades, it's caused confusion and that's one of the reasons Rap doesn't have a proper standard history as a music genre. You don't associate the creation of Blues or Jazz with any type of separate youth or cultural movement so why would you do it with Rap?

Hip-Hop is a subculture not a genre of music, there was NEVER any music created in the Bronx. Rap/Rapping was already a part of Black American society before the Hip-Hop Movement existed. Many books, articles and documentaries contain false and misleading information. The people who've spread the most misinformation and caused confusion in the process are from Caribbean backgrounds; first in the early 1980s it was Afrika Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Nation, then KRS-One and most recently Busta Rhymes. In the early 80s white corporations marketed "Rap" and "Hip-Hop" together using the terms interchangeably creating the false impression that they're one and the same and have the same history.

[@eachoneteachone8320]

We all (Bl Ams and Caribbean folks,) adopted rap from Africa... The roots of the rap element can be traced back to post-colonial West Africa and the Griot tradition. In fact Afrika Bambaataa calls rap a postmodern GRIOT. A type of music of African origin in which rhythmic and usually rhyming speech is chanted to a musical accompaniment. NYC Hip Hop Pioneers gave it the name "rap." PRs rapped (chanted) in their very own Plena and Bomba Afro resistance music of the 1500s... One element; breakdancing in the Bronx was dominated by Nuyoricans, it began with the Nuyorican Boogaloo inspiration, Boogaloo music of the 1950s. James Brown used to Boogaloo during the 1960s... Mills Bros., adopted their dance moves from this African tradition... All began with the 1500s Afro-Brazilian Capoeira dance ritual that potentially influenced the development of break dancing, which emerged as part of the Hip Hop movement in New York City in the 1970s. There are documented troops that were in New York City during that period and there are numerous similarities between the two styles. Both focus in acrobatic movements, largely of the lower body, with the hands, and sometimes head used for stability. NYC Pioneers gave it the name; "breakdancing." Yet it's all African and the Caribbean folks embrace their African heritage the strongest. Hip Hop is Bronx Resistance... It is a culture created by those that lived the poverty lines you cannot possibly ever imagine. Hip Hop was being shunned over and over, especially by Bl Am, Jamaican, and the PR elders... It was pathologically pummeled to the brink of nonbeing that Millions of Bronx residents were going through. It was a “movement” of the South Bronx... It was a cultural response to certain political, social, economic challenges that were facing the millions of people in the South Bronx who were being made invisible and abandoned by New York City’s government. Those of Carribbean bloodlines (PRs and Jamaicans,) created; "Hip Hop," with a Black American influence. Caribbean folks brought their African diaspora and Black Americans had theirs... Hip Hop is Funk, Electro, Disco, Toast, and Latin touch especially during the breaks... Funk is Electro and Jazz. A French man by the name of; Edgard Varese created "Electro-music." It was later upgraded in the US by another wh guy named; John Cage. The root of Jazz is Ragtime and Ragtime consists of the Piano which is from Italy, Banjo from "Africa," and the Fiddle is from Western Europe. Ragtime composers used a Polka beat from Europe and used Irish Melodies... Wyt folks' music’s roots lie in the ballads, folk songs, and popular songs of the English, Scots, and Irish settlers of the Appalachians, Folk, Polka, and Bluegrass.. Blues however, incorporated spiritual work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads from the African culture. Yet most Bl Ams would not admit to any affiliation to Africa. Take away the wyt folks' Country music; Folk, Polka, and Bluegrass music then what are Bl Ams left with? Same goes for Rock n Roll since Rock n Roll is all those genres mixed together to begin with... The percussion is from "Africa." If it wasn't for wyt folks, there wouldn't have been any Bl Am music... The trumpet is from Egypt, Saxaphone from Belgium, Trombone from Western Europe, Clarinet from Germany, Piano from Italy, Bass Guitar- Paul Tutmarc, first Electric Bass Guitar- Leo Fender... Both wh men. After mixing genres together to create Hip Hop, the Rolland Drum Machine was then used to create this unique music that became the Hip Hop genre on it's very own... This drum machine consists of Caribbean instruments. Point is; all Bl Am music was "derived" from wh folks' music and Hip Hop was "derived" from Bl Am music, European music, Caribbean music, and all the Hip Hop elements were created by Bronx residents of Caribbean bloodlines. There is not one Bl Am that created Hip Hop.

Only years later, as it has swept through the globe that haters have begun to creep in and try to create another narrative. All the people that were there originally know the real deal. It was black innovation brought to the world by African-American, and Carribean (Jamaican & Puerto Ricans) kids from the Bronx.

It is a musical form that incorporates a shared, lived urban experience that revolved around music-rhyming and dancing; often makes a social statement against the harsh realities they must deal with on a daily basis; and graffiti. While African Americans concentrated on serving as disc jockeys and master of ceremonies, Puerto Ricans and other Latino Caribbeans contributed heavily to the hip hop aspects of break dancing and graffiti (6)Although it is widely acknowledged that hip-hop began in the early 1970s in the South Bronx, New York, the mainstream media view it as an African American cultural expression. African American tend to view it as exclusively their own, and even Puerto Ricans and other Latinos tend to view it as "black" music. However, its birth and development were a joint creative effort of African American and Latino Afro Caribbean youngsters, particularly, Puerto Ricans. Some researches have suggested that Puerto Ricans' significant role has often been overlooked due to the lack of knowledge concerning Puerto Ricans in general, their small population in comparison to African American throughout the Unites States, and their relatively recent arrival, as opposed to the long history of African Americans in the US. is the birthplace of Hip-Hop, it comes to no surprise that the intermingling of Puerto Rican and West Indies along with Black styles are the main contributors to the basic Hip-Hop essence.South Bronx is the birthplace of Hip-Hop, it comes to no surprise that the intermingling of Puerto Rican and West Indies along with Black styles are the main contributors to the basic Hip-Hop essence.Often, when people here Hip-Hop they associate it with only African-Americans. However, Hip-Hop is actually the combination of West Indian, Puerto Rican, Blacks of New York. Hip-Hop has always been open to a diverse audience, and thus is not limited to one specific group. DJing started in Jamaica, where the artist would mix and scratch music with repetitive phrases mixed it. In Jamaica, and in many area of the West Indies, music is used as important as politics. Music was used to express the voice of the citizens. Political parties themselves used the musics of DJs to represent their positions. As people from the West Indies moved into New York and specifically the Bronx, they began to incorporate their values of music as a form as expression. When the West Indians began to live with the Puerto Ricans and African Americans of the South Bronx, their art of music mixed in with the rapping and rhyming of the people living there. Hip-Hop began to include in general, Rapping, DJing, Graffiti and Break Dancing. DJ Kool Herc and other DJ from the West Indies, gaining popularity from their style of music, began to encourage the youth to get involved in the art of Hip-Hop. Soon some gangs began to focus their concentration on Hip-Hop rather than using violence to express their anger with the environment they were in. Afrika Bambaataa would find the Universal Zulu Movement, which was a gang that focused on Hip-Hop. What all the people involved in Hip-Hop do have in common is how the merge the struggles of every day life, and their environment into their various forms of art in a way that people facing similar difficulties can also relate. Hip-Hop then turns into a voice of all those New Yorkers, and even beyond, who are constantly trying to improve their lives in a difficult environment.

When the West Indians began to live with the Puerto Ricans and African Americans of the South Bronx, their art of music mixed in with the rapping and rhyming of the people living there. Hip-Hop began to include in general, Rapping, DJing, Graffiti and Break Dancing. DJ Kool Herc and other DJ from the West Indies, gaining popularity from their style of music, began to encourage the youth to get involved in the art of Hip-Hop. Soon some gangs began to focus their concentration on Hip-Hop rather than using violence to express their anger with the environment they were in. Afrika Bambaataa would find the Universal Zulu Movement, which was a gang that focused on Hip-Hop. What all the people involved in Hip-Hop do have in common is how the merge the struggles of every day life, and their environment into their various forms of art in a way that people facing similar difficulties can also relate. Hip-Hop then turns into a voice of all those New Yorkers, and even beyond, who are constantly trying to improve their lives in a difficult environment.🇵🇷🇯🇲☝️💪👍👑

ok can i ask you fba people a simple question regarding about what you fba are claiming, By claiming creation or invention , it should mean that FBA created or invented every art form element in Hip Hop which is Graffiti, Djing, Beakin and Mcing.. so now that you know the art form elements can you name me a single art for element adopted by Hip Hop that was created or invented by FBA ?? if you can name me one art element in Hip Hop that was invented by any FBA then i will accept that Hip Hop was created or invented by FBA and every other culture are the guest and the copycats of what fba created, but it needs to be proven that fba created or invented any art element in Hop Hop, which means that documented history should show that any of the art form was not created or invented before fba culture, because that is what creating and inventing means, that no other person or group had made nothing similar before it was created or invented ??

That is the absolute truth! Waaaay back in the 1970's you had The Grand Wizard Theodore and the Fantastic Five MC's: Master Rob, his brother Kevi-Kev, Dota Rock, Whipper Whip and Ruby Dee. The real name of Ruby Dee was Ruben Diaz. Ruby Dee was Puerto Rican. Whipper Whip was also of Puerto Rican influence. Then you had the Fearless Four MC's which had two DJ's. The DJ's were OC and Crazy Eddie. Crazy Eddie was Puerto Rican. The four MC's were DLB, Mike Cee, Tito (Tito was also Puerto Rican besides Crazy Eddie), and finally Peso. You had Puerto Rican Zulu Nation members as well. Lisa Lee and The Cult Jam were also an active group in the 80's. Along side Wendy Williams (until they had their personal beef) there was radio personality Angie Martinez. She also was Puerto Rican. Of the Cold Crush Four (later the Cold Crush Brothers) there was DJ Tony Tone and DJ Charlie Chase whom was Puerto Rican. IT STARTED IN NEW YORK CITY AND BLACK AMERICANS AND PUERTO RICANS WERE THE TWO DOMINANT HOOD GROUPS, AND NEARLY THE ONLY HOOD GROUPS THAT EXISTED THEN. Busta Rhymes is absolutely correct! He should have done Gettin Wild Tonight as he made the song with Rampage...

[@gregcooper5672]

Crazy Eddie is BLACK AMERICAN I know him from around my way(homies), as I know Tito(we went to Brandies H.S.) I know Kool Moe Dee, L.A. Sunshine, Mike C, all from the same hood! The Goat MELLE MEL, The Cold Crush 4/Brothers was rocking before the fearless 4. Grandmaster Caz( Casanova Fly), I know Prince Whipper Whip, Mean Gene of the L.brothers who is Grand Wizard Theodores Brother Facts! I'm a first generation MC of the Payback Crew out of the Bronx(Where KRS-1 did My Philosophy video, I was 8 when I lived over there, 24 when that video dropped) and out of Harlem. There was no black and Latino coalition! Latinos got down later! Charlie Chase explains it well in his interview and you can't name a Puerto Rican DJ before him(Caz put him down with Cold Crush, Tony tone is Blk American)! Between Ruby Dee or Whip were the first Puerto Ricans to pick up a Mic then came Tito, Facts! Tito and Ruby Dee use to say the same Rhyme that proves who started Hip Hop; " you might think I'm *BLACK* by the way I'm speaking, but let me tell you something I'm Puerto Rican"! Both Ruby and Tito said this same rhyme, Facts. We was banging on the lunch room table when I first heard Tito rock it, then heard Ruby said it on a tape! There was No Latinos Down with Hip Hop before '77, if so Name 'em! Crazy Legs got down with Jimmy Dee and Jimmy Lee of Rock Steady Crew, other Puerto Ricans followed them! Name one song that Puerto Ricans started break dancing too? I'll give 20+ B-Boying Beats that a Puerto Rican wouldn't know about, but we were B-Boying to these Beats and know the name and artist! I never seen a Latino or Jamaican in The Disco Fever, The Renaissance(The Reny), The Audubon Ballroom, The T-Connection, Harlem World, ect. Unless they were down with a crew performing(Fantastic, Coldcrush, or Fearless)! Break Dancing wasn't the only Dance of Hip Hop! We had The Freak, The Rock, Patti Duke, The Spank, later came the Animals, we even CREATED a dance in Harlem called the "WEBO"(hence the Spanish name)! I know this Fact because me and my homie Mark worked at a buttons and novelty company, Mark (Blk American) made the first ever Webo Belt! We gave it that Latin name to match the Dance, and I still got pictures. Back in '75 Van McCoy dropped a song called "Do the Hustle' a Black American Dance as well. The Latinos bite that and came out with the Latin Hustle, we didn't say nothing about it, then took the same dance added a little waist twist to it then called it Salsa FACTS! Check the dance you'll see! We came out with the Dougie, tootsie Roll, The Harlem Shake, ect. And Puerto Ricans are still breakdancing??? Nothing New??? We all lived in the same hood, why aren't Blk Americans speaking fluid Spanish doing salsa, Merengue or anything pertaining to Latino or Caribbean culture? Because we respect that it's not ours! Why can't these other groups do the same, respect what's not yours! Busta was "Not" around, wasn't even born then, he's confused.

Puerto Ricans have a strong pride and they have their culture from their country, they didn't loose anything coming to America, neither did any other people who came to America, they all kept their culture So, why not give your creations "LATIN NAMES ", Jamaican Names, this will kill the confusion! The names of all things in Hip Hop is of BLK American slang, our broken language! It was KEEF COWBOY(BLK American) who "FIRST" uttered the phrase "HIP HOP" FACTS!" HIP HOP AND DON'T STOP, TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR ARM AND CHECK YOUR CLOCK!!! Swag, goes way back in the Blk community, our term, everything was done "FLY" is why we have those who try to bite and rewrite that Flyness to say they CREATED it, if they can't get away with saying that they created it, then they'll say we "HELPED" created it, we had "INFLUENCED" in it, or there was a "COALITION',(wtf), where did all th!is justification come from, Just to be included??? They got Down later even after calling it that N-word Music Facts! If you was good, we put you down with the crew!

[@doubleutee8867]

@@gregcooper5672 You're a little older than I am. Waaay back when I was young growing up in the 70's, we were break dancing back then. I loved rap music so much. Then one day my older brother brought home a mixed cassette of DJ Jazzy Jay with Mr. Freeze (RIP), Master Ice, and Master Bee (RIP) rhyming to it.I ran that tape nearly everyday. I ran that tape so much the neighbor came outside, and said that's all I play. At that time, the group was in a transitioning period (Mr. Freeze spoke about Charlie Choo on the microphone, and another MC that left the group. I can't remember his name. Either he or Charlie Choo started college). AJ Les & Master Dee was not yet down. Maaaaannnn Mr, Freeze could rhyme!!! Wow! I was just mesmerized! He became my favorite Rapper back then. Because of him alone I was a Jazzy Five fan first and foremost. At that young age, in my mind, Soundview Houses was like a fantastic fantasy land. "Mr.Freeze is alias Chuuuuucky! Cause I'm the M-R-F-R the Double E-Z-E, Mr. Freeze is alias Chuuucky!" Jazzy Jay knew how to time that just PERFECT!!! He became my favorite DJ. At that time Brooklyn didn't really have anyone. I believe Queens had Kurtis Blow. Was Love Bug Starski from Queens? Busy Bee Starsky & Kool DJ AJ was from the Bronx. Staten Island had Force MC's (before they became Force MD's). Wait! Interestingly enough, Brooklyn may have birthed the first White act. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't at least two of the Beasty Boys come outta Brooklyn (including their DJ)? Eric B and Rakim didn't come til the 80's. As I got older, and the 70's act was on the wane, my favorite 80's act emerged as Public Enemy. When the 90's came around it was Wu Tang Clan. After Wu Tang things weren't the same into the 2000's era til now. Don't get me wrong, I loved a LOT of other groups in those respective eras. In the latter 70's, Sha-Rock was incredible. Her voice and flow alone caught anyone's attention. With Cosmic Force and Soul Sonic Force, Lisa Lee was the thing. Master Don and the Def Committee finally brought along Pebblee-Poo, and as a female who could rhyme, for me at that time, she completed the trio. Mercedes Ladies was Theodore's answer (And the Fantastic Five's) for the women thing, but personally they never moved me. There was Wanda Dee & Debbie Dee but I was less familiar with their style. The Boogie Down Bronx was first, and Money Makin' Manhattan was second: The Treacherous Three were legendary with that fast rapping style, and the Fearless Four reminded me of a knock off of them. I loved "Rockin It". There was this tape of Tito and Peso rhymin' at Harlem World and they killed it without DLB and Mike Cee (who couldn't make it). There was the mighty Crash Crew (I like that name... Haha!). Jeckle & Hyde. Was DJ Spivey their DJ? There was Ravon and Johnny Wa of the Magnificent 7. I REMEMBER ALL OF THAT! I remember the infamous jumping of Ski-Jump in East Harlem by the Puerto Rican gang, The Down Boys. I once read in the 70"s, Cigar Mob would protect better known crews performing in Manhattan, while Zulu Nation would protect better known groups in the Bronx. Eventually, Cigar Mob broke up and Zulu would enlarge, but in my mind the most powerful Zulu in NYC was in the latter 70's (and possible early 80's. I am familiar with a previous Zulu - Latin Kings showdown, but ZULU was much smaller by then, and I believe that was localized to the Bronx only in the early to mid 90's(?)). Anyway, thanks for getting back to me. Crazy reminiscing! NYC was so different back then. I miss it so much. America is something else nowadays. Some Black women complained that Black men were voting for Trump in the past. Black men didn't vote for Trump cause they liked him. They wanted to use Trump's racism as the only tool they knew to stop the gentrification, because they saw the things we once enjoyed (including jobs) under threat. . I miss the 90's R&B music too. I loved the music of that era, and even before then. O' well... Whacha gonna do? Thanks for the feedback. Lastly, I took a DNA test. I had 3 genetic groups. Two are Black American & one is Puerto Rican. But, that Puerto Rican genetic group came as a shock to me, cause I never knew anything about it. That was about two years ago. So, it's still new for me. Anyway, Peace!

I am lost here, the founding father of Hip Hop was a Jamaican American (black) DJ Kool Herc. We all know the story by now. I understand that the Bronx is diverse with African American, Afro-Caribbean, and Puerto Rican, etc. But if you live in particular area your going to emulate something that is cool and different. Now I know there's Afro Puerto Ricans, but if there just copying what a black man did how are they getting credit. Example, in 2007 Apple launched the Iphone that revolutionized the modern phone of today. Soon after Samsung, HTC, and other phone companies joined the act. So fifty years from now when we talk about what company changed the modern day smart phone it's Apple with the Iphone not Samsung, HTC, or any other company trying to capitalize on their success. I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!

[@TainaDelamar711]

Hip Hop has 4 elements. Rapping, Dancing, Graffiti & DJ'ing. Hip Hop started in the hoods of NYC. The only people in those hoods in the 70's & 80's were literally Blacks & Puerto Ricans. Puerto Ricans are dancers before anything. We were mostly dancers, graff artists bombing trains & buildings & DJs. White executives were doing the selecting for rappers & chose no Ricans. As the other elements gained less visibility, rappers exploded so the only people visibly associated with creating Hip Hop were Blacks. But, Busta here clearly states it, as does Africa Bambaata, Grandmaster Caz & other OGs. They confirm this was a strictly Black & Puerto Rican creation. Only Kool Herc can be Kool Herc. And, he did spin that record first but the entire culture is Rican & Black. 🇵🇷✊🏽🙏🏼 And, it wasn't just Afro Puerto Ricans neither. Since we're a mix (Indigenous Caribbean Indian/Native American, & African plus, possibly Chinese & other migrations that came through the Caribbean), we come in all shades & even if it's a white Puerto Rican, they still was getting down cuz as a Caribbean people, dancing is in our blood. It's our main joy. There's many documentaries that state & show us together in the hoods. All you gotta do is research NYC in the 70s & 80s & watch The Rubble Kings, From Mambo to Hip Hop & more.

Ruby d and prince whipper whip both Puerto Rican’s one was in the cold crush and one was fantastic romantic many Latino MCs during the foundation of this culture to the knowledge first ✌️

Ok, so it was less then 10 percent. Cause you just named 3 out of the 1000's of djs and mc's.

Betcha 'musty' rhymes won't continue to push his outrageous Black/jamaican/puerto rican Rap and Hip Hop nonsense after he watches MICROPHONE CHECK.

Original hip hop was black and Rican music until they started rhyming over the beat blackS took it completely over but us Rican’s was doing the graffiti and the dancing part of it it’s all part of hip hop culture to say otherwise Just shows you don’t know shit about hip hop

[@hondaciviclvr]

not really! when you look at hip hop moving accross the country to other areas who were not raised in areas like the bronx and new york all they saw was colored skin and afros. but half those afros were puerto rican. then as far as record sales if someone said they were spansih in a record they wouldnt sell outside of new york, nj, ct and pa. so it became taboo to say you were hispanic. but fact is that plenty of hip hop pioneers were puerto rican but only looked at as black cause we come in all colors too! we black, taino and spanish!
