Thank you so much for the upload from a 49 year old northern English guy who was raised partly by Hip Hop. Ice , Chuck , Kris were my adult male role models.
These were some great interviews (especially with the dates/years being captioned). Queen Latifah's comments were my favorite. And - as far as I can tell - they were the stone-cold truth.
@@andyhill2876 I will admit about one thing....Hiphop created many wars (battle raps)...But the war I am thinking of is the radio wars where 98.7 Kiss FM (WRKS) and WBLS were at each other's throats in the ratings.
@@andyhill2876 Run DMC was nearby...I only got to meet Darryl DMC McDaniels. I also got to meet Ed Lover and DJ Doctor Dre since they hung out with my late grandmother's next door neighbor. In 1993, I met KRS One who did a lecture at Williams College, Williamstown, MA and I have the promo album (Return Of The Boom Bap).
I still wear my once french made, now made in Viet Nam, white three line Adidas, with there white shoelace tongues hanging out, Run DMC style. Go figure, my paperwork says I'm 70, but my mind feels like I'm in my 20s.
1983 Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Old school rap..I was in highschool...cool memories. The stuff the new groups are releasing now I don't understand.
I was 10 in 83 so didn’t get into it until 14 here in the UK. I agree I try to listen to new young artists. I respect the fact they heard it in the womb and it’s now cool to rap in a British accent over here. But when you’re nearly fifty you’re no longer interested in how tough a guy says he is or how he makes his money or treats females.
KRS-ONE was real sharp with his words. It ws great to see how it all evolved. Being around when the culture was becoming more popular. The White reporters came over like they were so skeptical. It's like the fact that some urban children developed something that their kids gravitated towards the culture.
Hip Hop was and is a force to change the neaborhood and for years now the world into a better place. Born in 1973 in Germany. Hit by HipHop by the age of 16. ✊🏾✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿✊🏻✊🏽✌🏼❤️
Young Queen Latifah,Chuck D,Ice T,late Jam Master Jay back in the days represent real rap,laughed at the critics who claimed the culture wouldn't last in what 5 years?We will turn 50
90s baby checking in here and wow! This is a gem. Hind sight is 20/20 but If they only knew! Rap was absolutely here to stay. KRS One and Queen Latifah was ahead of their time. Public Enemy sold 1 million records in a week? Did I hear that correctly? Talk about impact. Artist WISH they could pull those number today!
"Master Gee" is right, HIS mother Sylvia Robinson, that's her son Joey Robinson Jr, he is NOT the original Master G, the original Master G left the group in '84. They did a documentary called "I Want My Name Back" basically talking about how the imitation Master G kept making money off them
They need to get rid of the lie that cool herc helped create hip hop and the lie that “Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans helped create hip hop”…. Hop hop is SOLEY African American culture/history..
@@TheLightShow2 ...there was a higher level of respect for elders, moms, kids, etc. peeps looked out for them. tends to be a lil less these days. maybe cause we're lookin at generations of declining opportunity causing more desperation?...i dunno. Willie right tho - single dude flashin got took quick - Masta Ace has a bar about this in Nostalgia.
Curtis Blow droppin' knowledge for the "kiddos" at the end of his talk...Priceless! Don't sleep on Curtis Blow with "The Breaks" and "Basketball," specifically🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I have no real respect for the now deceased fake "Master Gee" (Joey Robinson Jr.) that we see perpetrating a fraud here. Much respect due to the original Master Gee, Guy O'Brien. Salute! ✊🏽👊🏽. Looking forward to the 50th anniversary HIP-HOP festival concert tonight at Yankee Stadium in the Boogie Down.
An excellent video clip, but it is sad that Joey Robinson gave an interview calling himself Master Gee, and the rest of the Sugarhill Gang played off his lie. Even more pathetic is that they went into the story about how the group was formed and how they made their first record. Guy O'Brian was there and is the real Master Gee, and Joey probably made some of the music with the Sugarhill Band, but he was not on the original Sugarhill Gang recordings. Many things have not changed in the rap and music game, like deception, violence, conscious rap, gangster rap, and greedy labels, and this video is proof.
48 white swf here and i am so glad i was blessed to grow up in the golden age of hip hop. brilliant. i remember stupid arse senate hearings on rap lyrics and blah blah. america, doing it wrong from day one.
Wow. I forget sometimes that LL and Queen were pioneers of hip hop because they are still so relevant today. LL was always so cute and Queen still looks the same❤
It's interesting the way the news reporters, narrators, interviewers emphasize 'ghetto' describing the kids, the people, and even in front of GM Flash and Melle Mel...so corny and patronizing; LL Cool J as well as Kurtis Blow challenge society and those gate keepers with articulate and authentic thoughts and words on the New Music Seminar panel. I have never seen this until now! Then we see how rap evolved and KRS-1, Salt & Pepa, and Queen Latifah expand and emphasize the direction and growth of consciousness and communication of the culture. Appreciate how the originators set the foundation for this beautiful culture called Hip Hop that is now global! 50 years and more!

Salt and pepper the females were not the original salt and pepper, for people who was not there, the original salt and pepper was Dot A Rock, and prince whipper whip,
The True Golden years of Hip Hop!!!, it will be truly missed!
It's irreplaceable.
It’s history that should always be cherished and taught to the younger generations. The stuff they have now is total rubbish.
@@fordxbgtfalcon Today's talent is talentless. They didn't even read books on how to rap and such. The Golden Age never dies.
But NOT FORGOTTEN
DUDE👍🏾💯
He had 2 and 4 turnovers now cross over yet
Happy 50th anniversary to one of my favorite genres of music Hip-Hop 🎤.
1967 was the start.. 56th year
When the host asked them "How do you rap about sneakers?" and Run & DMC break into "My Adidas" was one of the greatest moments I have ever seen

Can not believe what I just stumbled upon. This is pure gold! At 15:40 in, "RAP is gonna be here" said in 1986 .... and it is here in 2023. 100% LOVE

I LOVE EVERYTHING QUEEN LATIFAH WAS TALKING ABOUT
Queen Latifah was a natural beauty
What a wonderfull way to celebrate 50 years of HipHop. Just digging through the archives. Thanks ❤
Kanye is like Curtis Blow in his smile and cadence (speech)!!

Tremendous compilation of nostalgic material there. Thank you so much for uploading 👏🏻
They were speaking the English language better and speaking more maturely than now.
Goes to show that that era of Hip hop was really didactic!
Great compilation of interviews. Shoutout to Queen Latifah.
Amazing video! Back when Rap music was REAL…gangsta or conscious. Rap music meant more than money or fame.
KRS-ONE was real sharp with his words. It ws great to see how it all evolved. Being around when the culture was becoming more popular. The White reporters came over like they were so skeptical. It's like the fact that some urban children developed something that their kids gravitated towards the culture.
Happy 50th Birthday to Hip Hop, Rap Music, the culture of street music 🎵🎶🗽👌🏾
Hip Hop was and is a force to change the neaborhood and for years now the world into a better place.

There it is 🔥
Bronx created Hip Hop
Uptown Stand Up!
1970 Baby Here
Queen Latifah was everything good about Hip Hop and much respect to her for being brave enough to go against the grain of "gangsta rap".
So proud at 53 that these ppl are my heroes
Born in 71 in Brooklyn. By 83 breakdancing was all over NYC so I had to learn it
LOVE THIS!!! 😍 I had one brother who was a DJ and another one who used to hold breaking battles in our garage.
Thank you for uploading this... Big Up from the UK ✌️
Happy 50th Anniversary to Hip Hop, the music and culture.
I love classic videos from the 80's and the 90's.
Wow this is beautiful! I especially loved the part where Ice T was talking about being a soldier
"Master Gee" is right, HIS mother Sylvia Robinson, that's her son Joey Robinson Jr, he is NOT the original Master G, the original Master G left the group in '84. They did a documentary called "I Want My Name Back" basically talking about how the imitation Master G kept making money off them
That's Joey Robinson
Kurtis Blow is a charming mf
...hell ya - gettin use outta that communication degree, lol!
Thx to all my mentors/Melle Mel, kool keith, Marc Live, Black silver, Ice T.
Thx you for all the knowledge & Music!
#AnalogBrothers #50yearsHipHop
We’ll never understand what this time must’ve been like when hip hop first emerged, for CBS to ask the question: “What is Rap?…”
Wow.
Dope material!!!
Am I the first to watch this in the new year? Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash, and Run DMC perfectly explained what rapping is!
47:50 That's not Master Gee; that's Joey Robinson Jr.!!!
#synthhop
R.I.P Easy
LOVING KURTIS BLOW ..BLOWING OUR MINDS BACK THAN 💋💯!!
THE TRUE GOATS OF RAP. THESE ARE WHAT YOU CALL GOATS.
What is this an interview with the plant of the apes
When CBS knows more about hip hop than Hip Hop DX
They need to get rid of the lie that cool herc helped create hip hop and the lie that “Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans helped create hip hop”…. Hop hop is SOLEY African American culture/history..
Like it or not, Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans were part of Hip Hop’s creation. DJ Kool Herc is Jamaican by the way. 🤦🏾♂️ Do your homework
@@williemakeit2346cap
All of the Hip-Hop legends! ❤️💯💿🎼
The beginning of this video shows how it used to be safe to shine amongst your peers but now the ghetto has turned sour
What??
Nope. Even back then, cats in the ghetto were getting robbed and killed for being too flashy. Don’t let the rose tinted lenses fool ya.
@@williemakeit2346 of course crime was going on...Inner cities are like that but there was still more unity back then

Queen Latifah in 1993: “We don’t have crips and bloods out here in New York”…
My how things have changed decades later smh…
Now show the real people who not only Started hip hop but the ones who put hip hop on the map. Shame on you CBS
You are more than welcome not to watch this video. I do not understand negativity here.

@14:53 Run said they had to find hard beats to rap over… That’s where samples from James Brown, Curtis Mayfield and Sly came in at!
I dug this! Man Joe, I miss the energy of early Hiphop! This wave we’ve been is so low vibrational…
1979 baby here..🙌🏽
There should be a bestseller book on the history and evolution of rap music.
