What we have here is a bunch of dumb mofos who can barely read and comprehend. First, you got folks not knowing the difference between contributing and creating or creating alone and helping to contribute.
So let's take it to the 5th grade for these dumb dumbs.
con·trib·ute
/kənˈtribyo͞ot/
Learn to pronounce
verb
give (something, especially money) in order to
help achieve or provide something.
"she contributed to a private pension"
So if someone contributed (or helped) with the creation of HIP HOP does this imply that they created it? If someone who contributed to the building of a bridge says they poured down some concrete, does this mean they built the bridge? No, they didn't, it was only a small contribution, so when folks conflate the two, it only shows their ignorance.
But let's get another thing straight, no one created HIP HOP it was formed by many contributing components, some dating back as early as the 40s but does this mean that it was created in the 40s? No, because going back to the bridge analogy just because you cleared the land for the bridge in the 40s does not mean the bridge was created then.
Next, you have the idiots who claim people who made rhymes that sort of resembling rap,
created HIP-HOP, did they? No, they contributed to HIP HOP similar to the guy who paved the ground for the bridge but sorry that bridge was not created in the 40s, 50s, 60s, or early 70s, because although rap alone isn't HIP HOP alone, you cannot have HIP HOP without rap sort of like having a road doesn't make a bridge but you need a road to have a bridge. Now you are asking how do I know HIP HOP wasn't around during the early 70's well all we have to do is go back to the earliest evidence of rappers, when I mean rappers I mean MCs or people who only rapped (because if you go buy the definition of someone who rhymed as being a rapper, then you have to say that Blondie was an MC for saying rhymes in rapture.
This is why I was so adamant about posting the fist rappers and rap songs, and so far I got as early as 1978ish, so until we can get earlier confirmation I will go with this date, to where HIP HOP was formed or created but as in the bridge scenario contributing factors occurred a lot earlier.
Now that an approximation on the date of HIP HOP creation has been established the question remains who were the contributors? Well, to be honest, there were many contributors some greater than others, but at the time of its creation, Latin people were a part of the HIP-HOP movement they were there as MCs DJs, and even part of the crowds at the block parties and jams.
To debunk my claim I am going to need the following.
1- Proof that MCs and rappers were around before 78 (and they have to be all black no other races)
2- Proof that at the time of the first rappers there were no Spanish DJs playing the music
What doesn't work is proof of who started NYC graffiti (because this is part of the bridge, not even the main part), the gang culture (member without MCs actually rapping it's not HIP HOP and some bullshit video of some old fart going on and on making claims and using it as sort of an appeal to autority. These types of claims are only accepted if they can provide actual evidence to back it up, something as simple as a mix tape from before 78 that shows only blacks involved (actually this isn't actual proof, more evidence, just because the first tape may feature blacks rapping but there is not proof that at that time there weren't Spanish people doing it also), but still, good evidence is better than nothing.
Also calling people Coons and all other personal attacks out of incredulity, is not accepted for anything other than an admission of ignorance, and those entries are automatically filed under evidence that we need to raise our children better and that reading is fundamental.
Well here are the guidelines to actually contributing to real research, feel free to contribute, the more we learn the better off we collectively become.
Oh as a bonus here is a video about a kat my cuz from the South Bronx used to talk about, they call him the king of Disco. Did he create HIP-HOP? No for the billionth time no one person created the genre but as you can see from the video he had a huge influence on its creation.
