DJ Kool Herc, a founding father of hip hop

Музыка

DJ Kool Herc was one of the people who helped develop Hip Hop in the Bronx in New York, in the 1970s. This video discusses his influence on Rap, Hip Hop and turntablism, and what exactly his contribution was. The video is presented by Professor Rupert Till, Professor of Music at the University of Huddersfield in the UK. It concludes that lots of people contributed to the development of Hip Hop, Herc was just one of its originators, but that he is generally credited with bringing Jamaican Soundsystem, DJ, and Toasting culture to Hip Hop, as he grew up in Kingston Jamaica. It was Herc's parties that inspired both Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa. Herc also developed breakbeat mixing, adapting the shipmate cueing and beat mixing approaches of Disco DJs to focus on the rhythmic break, breakdown, or break up, in a record. An interview is shown with Herc talking about this. This is Old School / Old Skool Hip Hop history.

    I see black Americans slamming Fat Joe saying "they" invented hip hop and Latinos were invited to the party. As a Jamaican I'm going to push back on you slightly and say that we did invent Hip Hop & Rap... Had Herc not done what he did there would be no precedent for the progression of the genre. Also he is the first to scratch, he just never claimed it.

    Eric b of Eric B & rakim said he did not invent hip Hop. A whole bunch of people have something to do with that music. He wasn't the only dj, Jamaicans didn't invent rap music at all I don't know what you guys are talking about. He created the loop. Yeah and he may have had some good records happening styles. And the big speakers. But he had nothing to do with hip hop in general hip hop is not a Jamaicans musical style identity. You can listen to it and tell it has nothing to do with Jamaicans.. You guys come over here and you adopt our culture. You integrate within it, and that's pretty much what it was, Puerto Ricans integrated in it Jamaicans integrated in it but they did not create it. That's a slapping in the face to so many people who were part of hip Hop creation and DJing break dancing and rapping from the early days. It didn't come from one man. It is true DJ Kool herc did through the best parties. But he did not invent hip hop knock it off. And stop saying you black american. It's our music shut up!
