You Must Learn: HIP-HOP STARTED IN JAMAICA... Not The South Bronx!!!

Good for you guys. It was built on the same premise as America though so you don't really have too much to be proud of. Under the ground you stand on lies the blood of the indigenous people who once called that place their home 500 years ago. Through systematic genocide they are no longer in existence but you see that as a good thing since Britain left and it's now all Black ran. Sad.



Haiti was the first to take shit then Jamaica second we don't wait for equality we take shit. :cool:

So why do you come to a land that we fought in. Why can't you stay in the land that you fought in? You all claim your revolution but yet you come to the land that they Lazy, shiftless, late to fight black Americans fought in.
 
There's nothing here that's disputable.

BUT....

Even for the remedial 20-something year old wet-behind-the-ears young'un who wasn't around to know anybetter, it's clear that even this article doesn't try to make the point that hip-hop started elsewhere but the West Bronx.

Understand that the elements that make up hip-hop, graffitti, breaking, rapping, DJing - all came together as a result of Herc and Bam in the early 70s. Herc brought with him the elements of the sound system and the DJ. Everything else formed around that.

Take it from someone who is old enough to know this firsthand and not have to learn it or be told about it 35 years later from an article.

True.

One of hip-hop's parents came from Jamaica but the other parent was American. Hip-hop is as much blues, funk and soul as it is roots / reggae. Even your own article talks about how huge an influence black American music was on Kool Herc, Ming.

I've argued the Jamaican roots of hip-hop for a long time but it isnt JUST Jamaican, thats one component.

Because the white man stole shit from other people's country to build his own so people are coming back to take whats theirs while you sit on your lazy,angry,i want equality ass.
 
Listen, yall are disrespectful to black people so I'm gonna respond to you and back out. I'm not even gonna front, I'm surprised at how lost you and other people in this thread are. This is a new low for BGOL right here.

Albert Einsten didn't use German customs to build his inventions. Your analogy is void. Full stop my dude.

Yall are human serpents man. You don't walk you slither. You hate your own kind in ways I didn't think a person who share melanin could. I'm completely :eek: at you dudes right now. I'm not even gonna question who is white or black, it's pointless. Enemy is enemy.

Forget online ocking. People in this thread are walking example of self-ocking.

GOOD LUCK AT LIFE. Best Wishes.

I don't hate my own kind...if you actually read some of my posts in here you would see that is obviously not true. I have not made a comment in here that went unprovoked and I even tried to fan the flames by telling BlackRas that we are all the same genetically so if we hate each other we really hate ourselves. Don't get my message misconstrued brotha no hate here at all.
 
WEST INDIANS NEED TO DO WHAT????

The fact that we fought for equality is the only reason you can come to America without getting hanged from an Apple Tree so show some gratitude.

TRUTH. The Jamaican side has long been ignored, however, and treated like a cousin that no one knew belonged to the family. I'm just glad someone finally said it. I got ignorant because of some of the responses on here.

I'm normally not this irrational.

Jah know star sometimes the ignorance is CONTAGIOUS....
 
Negro please. Without white tourism (and drug use), Haiti, Jamaica and most of the Caribbean would descend into anarchy overnight.

Dont be a hypocrite.

:lol::lol::lol: you keep saying Tourism like Trinidad don't export oil and Jamaica don't export bauxite/aluminum. What does Black Americans export? not a damn thing.

I know your little feelings are hurt because you were foolish enough to get in a war of words with stupid ass trolling MegatronX (who I have on ignore)...

...but do you really wanna do this? Do you really want to break down what tourism means to Jamaica vs. bauxite exports?

As for your answer, Black Americans export CULTURE first and foremost which is the main reason Kool Herc gave a fuck about becoming a DJ to begin with.

Did you even read the article?

Fall back, dude. You've already managed to spoil this thread with your bullshit, trust me you wont win this argument with me.

Why do you keep comparing what your whole country exports to the exports of a particular race of people in another?

United States' Exports - commodities: capital goods, automobiles, industrial supplies and raw materials, consumer goods, agricultural products
 


Marcus Garvey-Jamaican

Louis Farrakhan-Jamaican



your point?

Listen Killa, I respect those men and I read their works but even these great men got their wisdom and knowledge from African Americans. Elijah Muhammed was behind Farrakhan and Marcus Garvey got a lot of his ideas by reading Booker T. Washington's literatures.
 


Marcus Garvey-Jamaican

Louis Farrakhan-Jamaican

your point?

And who was Garvey's mentor? Booker T. Washington, American.

Farrakhan? Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X, Americans.

Your point?

You acting like a real fuckin... what's that word y'all use?

BUCK'RA right now. AKA cracka. Grow the fuck up.

WHAT FUCKING CULTURE? HUH? WHAT CULTURE PLEASE TELL ME.


GANG BANGING?

DRINKING 40S?

SELLING DRUGS?


WHAT WHAT CULTURE COMPARE TO JAMAICAN CULTURE?


FOOD?

MUSIC?

BEAUTIFUL ISLAND?

WOMEN?

I'm not denying that BX had an influence on the the origin of Hip-Hop in the US. I'm simply saying that Hip-Hop's US origin began in Jamaica. Period. It's not the Jamaicans who aren't willing to share the history, it's the Americans. Not to mention, the other elements you referred to that created Hip=Hop migrated up from the South... Yet the South get NO credit for IT'S part in the creation of Hip-Hop. Call me an antagonist (that's fair), but the truth is the truth. And judging from the replies in here... it HURTS.
 
The Dancehall Sound Clashes birthed the music movement in hip hop culture. Especially the competitive parts. DJ Battles, MC Battles, "Freestyles" and all that came from Jamaican Roots.

A Sound Clash is when 2 Sound Systems (consisting of DJ [The man on the mic] & Selecta) battle for crowd reaction:
The selectas play tunes against each other, and dub plates (which can be viewed as "freestyles" from artists) while the DJ hypes the crowd up and disses the competition

DJs (which to Americans can compare to MC's [Masters Of Ceremony]) have been know to battle each other minus the systems, one one against each other.

Perfect Battle Example Of a DJ (MC) Battle
The 2 DJs would talk shit to each other, hype the crowds, battle with their all their material and freestyle new material usually with a live band who knew all the riddims (tracks)

The older Jamaican cats can probably give you the history of artists and where it began, but its really good to know this part of your hip-hop history. You will understand the battle aspect why it's important, and why it's a crock of shit today.

The history is why KRS is considered the master of all MC'ing. He incorporated the history and roots into everything he did. Its why he easily dispatched of his competition when he battled, and why he always made smash records.


:yes:

THE FACT STILL REMIAN YA'LL STILL SLAVES IN AMERICA AND SADLY ENOUGH THE ONLY BLACK MAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS NOT EVEN BLACK AMERICAN.:smh::smh::smh:
 


Marcus Garvey-Jamaican

Louis Farrakhan-Jamaican

your point?

No actually what is your point? That Nation of Islam garbage hasn't done a damn thing for us in America. Look up Martin Luther King Jr., Fredrick Douglass, WEB Dubois, and Malcolm X if you really wanna learn something.

Mayberry, you're an idiot. You try to diss me in front of Killa and he comes right back in your face.
 
Gullah Jack, your sig is the truest thing I have ever read. I accept my part in devolving this thread into a civil war. I apologize and I am done.
 
Dam Im late to this thread don't believe what you read all the time ok lets start
Kool Herc who is Jamaican lives in the BX invented DJing

DJ Love Bug Starkski coined the phrase HIP HOP!

One of the first MC's was from Brooklyn KC the prince of soul!

HIP HOP started in the BX!! So ask yourself who is Afrika Bambata!

You don't even know the difference between race and nationality huh? He's part Kenyan, part-White, and he's from America therefore he's half Black and/or African American.
 
No actually what is your point? That Nation of Islam garbage hasn't done a damn thing for us in America. Look up Martin Luther King Jr., Fredrick Douglass, WEB Dubois, and Malcolm X if you really wanna learn something.

Listen man i have work in the morning i'll argue with you some other time.
