I am so glad I grew up in NY at this time. Just a pure sound and art form!

One thing I love about this genre of music is that you didn't have to be classically trained, you didn't need to have a million dollar studio. You just needed a sampler, a turn table, and you could basically make platinum albums. Rap is such a flexible genre, you can literally mix it with anything and it sounds good, if done right.

There is a difference in saying Hip Hop came from Jamaica and saying a Jamaican American created a sound that pioneered Hip Hop. Herc was a hip hop pioneer with Jamaican ancestry. And all that ancestry goes back to the motherland. Nothing is created from nothing. Everything is influenced by everything, so discovery when it comes to music is a wrong term, but pioneering, creating a new sound, new flow is. Herc was a DJ and only a part of all the elements. He was the creator of the break beat. No one else was doing that. I don’t understand why anyone wants to diminish his contribution as a pioneer.

Thank you so much it's so educationing also i needed information about history of hip-hop culture exactly and will save it play it and study again and again !

I don’t know why there is a Heavy emphasis on “Kool Herk” being Jamaican-born. Dj Kool Herc assimilated into black American culture and was influenced heavily by African American culture. I saw the videos on KZread of him in his early days, you wouldn't even know that he was Jamaican because he looked like just an ordinary brotha. Afro, sideburns, some cool shades, a nice shirt and matching bellbottom pants. He wasn't even talking patois or with a Jamaican accent. Dude was completely assimilated as a black man in America. Kool herc looked up to guys like Disco King Mario, who was the man at the time and was out and popular before Dj Kool herc. I’m not saying any of this to discredit Kool herc but some of you folks from the island just jumped on some crazy bandwagon madness about the Origins of hip-hop being Jamaican because Kool herc is Jamaican. When all reality he definitely contributed but you can’t put cool herc over guys like disco king Mario. He was one of the dudes who started mixing and scratching on turntables. This entire rumor going around that Jamaicans created Hip Hop is absurd. You can’t create something that was already here. All elements of hip hop were born here in America not Jamaica or any Caribbean island for that matter. Hip hop is an African American art form that was shared with folks from Jamaica, Puerto Rico ex…. And they all contributed to it on a major scale, that will and can never be denied. We love our Caribbean family but to say that you guys created hip hop Because Kool Herc is Jamaican and contributed is disingenuous. See I can’t go to Jamaica learn the language and assimilate into Jamaican culture, contribute to the already exciting culture, and then turn around and say that I created the culture. Folks would look at me crazy. Do you know what created hip hop? Jazz, blues, Funk music, soul music, rock music, and even gospel music. All of which are African American art forms of music. Even Kool herc admits this.

I listen to music from the 1920s 1930s and 1940s and I can say with all certainty that a lot of the Blues and Jazz from that era did contain rhyming lyrics. I don't know why Luke Jordan's "Pick Poor Robin Clean" comes to mind off the bat. But people like Memphis Minnie and or even Blind Willie McTell come to mind too! And those people were African Americans. So this Jamaican and Puerto Rican thing is strange to my ears.

HIP HOP IS MY GENRE TOO. ALL MY LIFE. IM FROM PHILIPPINES.

I think the recent piece, The Country Idiom of Hip Hop, by Dr. Imani Perry would shed some light on the actual origins of Rap Music and Hip-Hop culture.

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.

Busta would have you think Jamaican and Puerto Ricans created hip hop. This is not the case. The part I can't wrap my mind around is why would he lie on and disrespect the very people he made his fortune on. He didn't make it off Jamaicans or Puerto Ricans. Because if he did we'd probably wouldn't know of him. He made it off black America. The culture less people by his recollection. Busta was messing with the Bronx around the time hip hop was created and to miss that history so badly is stupid ish.

this leaves the whole base history out - HipHop came from the BRONX in the early 1970's - Remember DJ's like King Mario Flowers. the roots of HipHop came from the BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITY not foreigners. this was homegrown speech about being "Close to the edge" yeah.

They left out Mr. Magic on WHBI. Hip Hop was first on the radio, this was 1978 or 79, I was in the 8th grade. There were records recorded before the Sugarhill Gang bit Rappers Delight from Grandmaster Caz. The Graffiti was also a part of Hip Hip.

Just to be clear. It was called RAP before hip-hop!

Rap is talking rythmically in time to music, hip hop is using a looped section of another piece of music to create a backing track, they are not the same thing or interchangable terms. Rap is much deeper, more diverse and started much earlier

Here is a TRUE history lesson of the origin of hip hop. it is very clear hip hop and rap music is African Americans culture and music created and originated by African Americans not carribeans or kool herc. he moved to america at age 12 in 1967. around the time hip hop was bubbling up. you telling me he brought hip hop culture or music with him. Herc didn't create or originate nothing in hip hop including extending break beats or the merry go round the made up name he created for it. he leaarned all of that from african americans. he just wants to be in the history books. he used to tell the truth early on. he said he used to attend disco parties and the djs were playing break beats while the people there were breakin and yes that was the term used in 1970 for break dancing. being done before herc. he wasnt the first to do anything in hip hop including his merry go round technique. disco djs at disco clubs would extend the breakdown of records for as long as 20 minutes to get the kids to get funky or break dance. That is what break dance means to dance on the breakdowns, djs would loop the break from turntable to turntable while the kids got funky on the dance floor break dancing. soul train was started in the late 60s in chicago as traveling record hops by Don Cornelius, where he traveled around to different venues putting on his dance record hops. the show went live tv in 1970 were young kids dance to the latest funk soul rnb music. the soul train line literally was the dj playing extended beats of records while the soul train dancers would do the latest dance crazes like poppin pop lockin robot breakin and hundreds more dance crazes. that was watched by millions. this was the early foundation of hip hop which included james brown who used to dance to extended breakdowns of the beat for as long as 30 minutes in his shows. Some may say pigmeat markum is not a hip hop record but it has every element and the black spades who are the real founders of every element of hip hop culture said that is who they were copying when they would battle snap (rap) to music at block parties and just on the street corners in the neighborhood. block parties, toasting, sound systems, rapping, breakin, graffiti, and every other element of hip hop was created and influenced here in america by african americans not the carrribeans. U-roy and otherJamaican Artists and toasters said they got their music culture from our music and djs so how could they originate it. in fact, ska, rocksteady, and reggae music was directly inspired by african american music and culture, many of the early pioneers of rock steady which became reggae music said they were copying and inspired by african american music, and culture. FBA originated and created hip hop period. not kool herc or carribeans. . you should know this. herc did not create the extended breakbeat. so that is out. he didnt create the merry go round he just put a name to what he was copying. african americans created most of the worlds most popular music genras and subcultures. that is a fact. so stop with the imbiguety and if you are trying to truly get to the truth then tell the truth and stop leaving it open for interpretation. african americans created hip hop rap period rap literally goes all the way back to slavery in the usa. kool herc and other carribeans here contributed and participated like the rest of the pioneers. but they didnt start nothing accept maybe grandmaster flash with some of his techinlogical inventions and theories around turntabalism. but that is not the creation of turntabalism , deejaying or hip hop but an elevation. a contribution of one element of the art form. if Jamaicans were listening to African Americans djs (Deejays) and were inspired to copy it, they couldn't have done it first thus they didn't create it. dancehall which started in the late 70s was a speedup more rhythmic reggae inspired music form which was inspired by ska which was literally inspired by African American music and DJs. see how the ball goes around. you people at this point ( And I'm talking also to some of the people in your comments and just in general about these debates and responding to some of the statements you made in your videos), are down right disrespecting African Americans and their long and arduous creation of their culture. let me again explain it to ya. in my Jamaican accent. i love my Jamaican family but this gotta stop. The rhythmic rhyming of vocals of African American toasting (Jive Talking) influenced the development of toasting in Jamaica and development of the dancehall style In the late 1950s deejay toasting (In Jamaica) was developed by Count Matchuki. He conceived the idea from listening to disc jockeys on American radio stations. He would do African American jive over the music while selecting and playing R&B music. Deejays like Count Machuki working for producers would play the latest hits on traveling sound systems (African American inspired mobile Dj systems) at parties and add their toasts or vocals to the music. These toasts consisted of comedy, boastful commentaries, half-sung rhymes, rhythmic chants, squeals, screams and rhymed storytelling, which was inspired by African American minstral shows and stage shows (Of course they added their own flare making it their own style) but that's my point. Creativity comes from inspiration. They were inspired by African American Deejaying and Music Culture but they then made it their own. That's like how everything else is created Later in the 1960s toasting deejays included U-Roy and Dennis Alcapone, the latter known for mixing gangster talk with humor in his toasting. In the early 1970s, toasting deejays included I-Roy (his nickname is in homage to U-Roy) and Dillinger, the latter known for his humorous toasting style. In the early 1970s Big Youth became popular. In the late 1970s, Trinity followed all said they were inspired by and imulating African American music and culture with their own flair. This all comes back around full circle to African American Culture and music. Not saying we crated everything but out of shear necessity we created our own cultures and music as well as many other American Traditions. sometimes we get credit for it but in the broader scheme of things it is hidden from American society and thus hidden from the world as a form of oppression. This goes on a lot. We don't get the credit for our contributions to the world. and really it's by design. These historians know the truth about it but African Americans are discredited in place of other people. This has to stop. Go read a book on the inventions and innovations that African Americans have contributed to the world and you will literally be shocked beyond belief. how can you be the root of hip hop music when hip hop music is literally African American music. disco, r&b ,funk ,jazz, and anything else you wanna mix in there that we created. Herc already said it was alread bubbling up and he was inspired by other djs and what he was hearing and seeing. if he wasnt the first to juggle break beats didnt create the music that was inspiring it. He wasnt the first throwing parties in the park. wasnt the first throwing house partys. how could he have invented it. This is a stupid argument. he came over here and seen African Americans are lit. and got inspired like everyone else in the world. hes not the creator. one of the early pioneers yes. creator no. Herc literally does not even know how to dj. Look at what he is doing in his video explaining the merry go round technique which is just beat juggling and looping or extending the beat. It literally does not match up to how cross fading works. He is a huge fraud and liar. That is why you see no videos of him djing anywhere. And your telling me this guy created extended break beat juggling and looping and hip hop. This is blasphemy in its highest form. And literally the text book definition of cultural appropriation. And it is being blindly spread around the world stealing the real credit from the African American puoneers and creators.

No Kool Herc, no hip hop. It is what it is so just deal with it.

It's ok, just like how Jamaicans try to lay claims to creating a whole subculture known as Hiphop, the same can be said about their music. Ska music from which Rocksteady and Reggae essentially came from is a direct product of American Rhythm & Blues and Jazz music. In fact all of the pioneers of Reggae and Ska were influenced by African American musicians such as Sam Cooke and the Drifters, Curtis Mayfield (whom in fact cowrote One Love), Fats Domino, Roscoe Gordon, Otis Redding, James Brown, Ray Charles etc. The truth is we all influenced eachother to some degree or another. Even the honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey was greatly influenced by Booker T Washington.

Rap as well and this shit music was initially given some.makeup to look pretty until the poison set in then they went to work on all walks of life and used it to destroy and consume real music

Herc did not improvise that technique, Pete DJ Jones had been wandering from borough to borough since 1970 looping the drum breaks of his favorite records by using duplicate records on two turntable with a crossfader...Herc definitely threw the first Hip-Hop party on Sedgwick Ave. and added the element of toasting that he learned from DJs in Jamaican on his vacations visiting family...but he didn't invent the essential technique, Pete DJ Jones did, and he also didn't invent scratching (Grand Wizard Theodore did) or the block party (Grandmaster Flash did) but he did invent the Hip-Hop party itself.
