They were rapping in America in 1940s fool 🤣😂😅

DJ Mario was Puerto Rican 71

I grew up in the bronxdale projects I r he Bronx from 1972 to 1981. I remember Mario, very charismatic young man.

None of the elements of hip hop were invented in Jamaica. They're all from America and Black Americans in particular. Rapping started in America as a result of street slang and the insult game, the dozens. Black American radio dj's in the 1920s like Jack L. Cooper started using terms on air. Many would follow him like the great Jocko Henderson, who many Jamaicans like Clement "Sir Coxson " Dodd admitted, influenced them. The earliest seeds of break dancing were planted in the 1920s, too, with dances like the Lindy Hop, which you can see by pulling it up here on TH-cam. The Black American street gang called the Black Spades invented actual Breaking. Scratching and beat box were also huge additions to the genre that were added later and again by Black Americans. Graffiti/tagging was started in the mid-1960s in Philadelphia by a brother named Cornbread. The knowledge came from the 5 percenter a Black American religious/social movement. Black Americans invented every aspect of hip hop.

🫡 The Dale! 1st, 3rd & 2nd!

No, King Herc and Afrika Bambatta are not the first pioneers, so stop with the misinformation. The first pioneers are "Black" Americans who are not immigrants and King Mario was a "Black" American, not half Boriqua like Puerto Ricans are claiming. You don't know what you are talking about.

FACTS

Remember guys Caribbean people had nothing to do with hip hop even though the first real hip hop DJs was from Barbados 🤣

The problem is that no one ever claims Kool Herc was a "Hip Hop DJ"... They say he was the "father of Hip Hop"... At the time he started, there was no such genre called, "Hip Hop". It's strange that you've changed the claim just so you can use it to knock him down. Also, people who were there at his parties said the music play there, "no one has ever heard it any where before"... Sure, there were other DJ and some were even playing song he used in his breakbeat sets, but to claim "others were doing before what he was doing" is simply not true at all.

Who made the first car radio! and what year, 1929, I guess! Most song in the 1950's were for parking and making out! If your dad let you use the car on a Friday night.

Jonathan flowerssss im 20 yrs old i love old school music❤

American music forms: Spirituals, Blues, Ragtime, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock n Roll, Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Disco, Punk, House and of course Rap and Hip Hop---all enjoy well documented Black American roots coupled with undeniable Black American influence---whether directly or indirectly.. Latinos -- puerto ricans particularly -- explain how you co-created or co-invented yet another installment in the legacy of Black Musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't co-create or co-invent any of the elements of the 14 or so African American music forms that preceeded it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of Black American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout, or even prior to the previous 14 or so Black American music forms that are mentioned above. Yet then, all of a sudden--out of nowhere, you folks come along and falsely claim latinos and/or puerto ricans co-created and co-invented Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by derrick colon, radical latino, fat joe and numerous other un-informed and envious latinos---claims latinos never mentioned, verbalized or asserted during its inception in the early 1970's)---latinos claims of "50/50--half & half co-creation and co-invention just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly coming under heavy scrutiny which is leading to these claims being easily debunked--as it should've been. Moreover, the hateful and many times racist criticism directed at the Black American youth, by the racist white media over having created Rap and Hip Hop, latinos -- particularly puerto ricans -- and jamaicans NEVER came forward to denounce the vicious onslaught, yet 50 years later they want to take credit for this FBA art form that they didn't create.

Great video

No paying politicians

Why is important for to cover my culture cant you cover your own

When they acquired AMFM back in 2000, that was only a sign that they were trying to dominate as that merger followed their acquisition of Jacor Communications. I'm in the Houston area and when the merger closed they had probably 15 stations and they were already being required by the DOJ to divest. KLDE, KKBQ, and KKTL went to Cox Radio while KMJQ and KBXX went to Radio One. Just back in 2023, Urban One acquired Cox's Houston stations bringing all of these Clear Channel spinoffs to a reunion.

Herc. Never did nothing to push the music forward

This vid aged like fine wine 4 years later. People are acknowledging everything you're saying now in (Microphone Check) documentary

All of your videos are great. I've self published a book on Go Go, a music native to Washington D.C. Without it being a goal at all, my research showed the importance of dub/soundsystem music along with the dance impetus behind hip hop as influencing Go Go music as well

Stay in your own lane melanin deficient neanderthal boy. You have no clue about HIP HOP. Louis B Jordan came well before any jamaican or rican copycat or crakkka like m n' m for that matter.

If the early parties were breaks, when did the bars kick in - was rap influenced by toasting? Who was the first rhyming MC?

Great stuff kip it up

Hip hop is not a gemre. it's a culture with other elements involved, The dj, the bboy, the mc, the writer. Also, knowledge of self.

Great info! It may well help me with my Jamaican historical fiction novel that I’m writing. It’ll take place in 1949 to 1950, and music will be important. I do have my characters going to a Soundsystem dance, and this gives me more information to research. Thanks.

Herc set the foundation

You don't shit! Flowers & Pete Dj Jones played one style. Herc combined all the elements together ( Dj, braking graffiti etc) and that came Hip Hop. I was there. Where were you?

Why do we hold our nuts you want to take them

Rapp was fight the club now join money

Yes Jamaica the dirt the poor the food love now filthy the club

Hip hop came outta the GANG culture Disco king Mario was a Black Spade from Bronxdale 1st division he had street cred and juice way before Herc and bam they came to see him first and took what he was doing back to their hood

Crazy how this cat don't have Waaaaayyy more viewers is a crime and beyond me.

FBAs are the salt 🧂 of the earth and we give the earth its flavor. FBAs slate the cultural progenitors.

Rapping was a black American culture. They were rapping in Florida and across the nation in the early 1900s‼️

Gregory Scott virtually dismisses the first early sound systems ....The mighty Duke Ried , & Coxsonne Down beat , barely mentions the Great Sebastian

MYOWB

According to Sir Coxson Dodd. The sound system culture comes out of the Black American South. He visited and saw what Black Americans were doing then a bought a sound system and took it back ti jamaica applying what he saw Black Americans doing in the South. Black American R&B was the #1 music in Jamaica. It's a common fact

thankyou for this history...ive been putting the pieces together...from origine native american music, african music to calypso to hip hop...

Gwaaaan

great info on sound system culture , love the knowledge .......... safe bro

Thanks Gregor. I had never heard any of the history before, but remember hearing a lot of DJs that groomed me if you call it that mentioning him. While I knew folks from the Bronx, other than hearing flash tapes. Most of my learning came from DJs from lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Also, when it came to background a lot were Jamaican. It was all almost like a linage from a karate movie or something lol.

Hip Hop and her elements belong to the Foundational Black Americans.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Sadly it does not matter.

I’m a Jamaican living in Chicago. a lot of Jamaican are self taught engineers when it comes to building sounds systems,or even putting music in a car. The quality of sound is so clear, not like here in the USA,all you hear is the stupid bass line rattling.no midrange, no top ends.

Dj Mario before all lights and camera go to the right people

TRUTH BE TOLD, AS A MATTER OF FACT!! HIPHOP did not start in West Bronx on Sedgwick, in a basement. It was originated by DISCO KING MARIO’s CHUCK-CHUCK CITY CREW & ZULU NATION’S AFRIKKA BAMBAATAA, in the South, far east Bronx in Bronxdale, Bronx River, Soundview, Castle Hill, 100, & crosstown’s 23 PARKS!! HIPHOP started in the street! But bcuz Mario has passed away, and Bam has gone away, Herc has claimed the fame, but I know when he got that star on the Walk/Hall of Fame, some of those tears were bcuz he knew he didn’t deserve the title. He can get credit for taking hiphop from basement into the clubs like Fever, but it started raw, literal grass-roots; tru spontaneous talent & skills, rhyming, rapping’ mixin’, scratching’, beat-boxing’, hiphop hustlin’, break-dancin’, & graffiti. It was so good all the other boroughs wanted to do it too. Hence, Queens & Brklyn rappers; but there’s a reason we’re called The Boogie-Down Bronx!! WE EARNED IT!! Now 52yrs later, it has become a culture every1 wants to be a part of. The Art now includes clothing, speaking, & socialization. So when that museum has its opening day, Herc needs to give Mario & Bam their props by naming them as truly the originators of HIPHOP. Hiphop of today isn’t as good as it was back then. It was clean fun, lyrics, no disrespect & nobody got killed. However I am proud that it has lasted as something Blacks can call their own. Kwanzaa, & now Juneteenth are the only things we as a people can claim in this country. True that music & sports are dominated and by Blacks, managers have taken them for their own gain. Even tho’ we built this country & invented most things, others have taken the credit for it. There are some black folk who have gained ownership, but HIPHOP, they can’t take from us!!

Hank actually told Caz did he mind if he use his rhyme because he told him he was spitting that rhyme when some music executive heard him saying it and offered a record deal and Caz was like whatever go ahead but he didn't know the impact it would have now that's where Caz was like he got nothing for it not even recognition and that's when things got bad although it might not have been the first rap song it was the first commercially successful record and pushed by the record label

Very interesting piece…thanks for this information
