As a future hip hop legend I always find myself coming back to where it all started. It raised me and I will give a % of my earnings to a union created to help out retired artist who paved the way. Nobody thought it would last, its the biggest genre in music history. Thank you guys for creating the music that saved my life and gave me my purpose. I will always pay homage to those who came before me
I grew up in Kool Herc's area- from 1969-1979- this what I know for sure. For the cat that said there was no break dancing at Herc's parties, never been to Herc's building's rec- room where it started. The Hevlo, The Executive Playhouse, aka Sparkle. The break dancers , Trixy, Wallace, SaSa, Rossi, Clark Kent, Dougie, from Harlem. There was graffiti "Herc use to write", break dancers and young hustler's. With each group of D.j'.s. like Bam, Theodore, and Flash the art evolved and included all which is now called hip hop. There are five borough's in N.Y. but hip hop came from the Bronx period !!!!!! Nobody at the time thought that it would be as big a business has it became. It was really all about the party, the music, the competition in break dance, and who had the biggest system. This what I know......
I found that crazy as well obviously he never been to a herc party herc parties were the original b boys going to the floor all that the twins, sasa, dancing doug, the mad hatter, charlie rock etc.
The idea of large soundsystems in the street and rhyming on the mic while "clashing" were transformed from Kingston, Jamaica and migrated to The Bronx. Now where in the Bronx it germinated first is up for contention - but no question what we know as hip hop started in The Bronx.
@@Amidat false hip hop has no jamaican influence... Jamaicans got their music culture from black americans music,sound systems, toasting all from america ... Jamaican legends are on video admiting they copied fba...herc came to america when he was 12 yrs old and learned everything he knew from fba and fba djs
People from Bronx River Projects are biased. I wasn't there but there's not one person who can claim what Mr. Biggs said about Herc not having b-boys/breakdancers at his parties. How is that true when he coined the term "b-boy"?? As far as him saying that Bambaataa started it everyone knows especially coming from that side of the Bronx that Kool DJ Dee and Disco King Mario were 1st. Mario used to lend Bam his equipment and Mario controlled that area in the mid 70's before Bambaataa came into prominence. They never give Mario his props and because he's no longer here people try to discredit him, distort, and revise history!
12:53 *PREACH IT!!!* I've gotten into this argument sooooo many effing times! It's nice to see someone with CLOUT representing *unity* . This white boy took that stuff to heart and NEVER STOPPED. That's why I have a beats channel! REAL hip-hop! I call anger spittin' and especially gangsta hip-oppposite. I have the Tommyboy Megamix that opens with "Peace! Unity! Love and havin' fun!" as well as "We Come to Rock" by the Imperial Brothers (my strongest connection to the culture) which says "So come on inside and don't be shy *we're not here to hurt ya just have a good time* " I also like to tell spitters calling the 90s "old school" *"I remember when that was NEW JACK"*
Thanks for sharing more of Hip-Hop's history! It'd be nice to have brought in the even earlier roots of Rap, the Griots in West Africa, the work songs of U.S. slavery and the influence of spoken word Blues music. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapping#Roots But anyways, fantastic video. There needs to be better education, especially for the newer generations that have lost so much touch with the historical and social significance of Hip-Hop and associate it largely with braggery over materialistic achievements.
@3:12 no shade... but *Y* are they talking to [him] about *Origins of Hip Hop?* Did u catch the light smug-shade when he said "general consensus"?? Was he even born in 1973?? Dear Hip Hop gods, Y??? Please interview the native of the Boogie Down who were around in '73, old enough to *See* what Happened! By the way, Happy Birthday #HipHop! 11 August 1973 @ 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in the Bronx!
Been going through dispute about the origins of Hip hop but I don't remember Rappers Delight being called hip hop " I wasn't given the word hip hop until shortly after Africa bambaata and the soul sonic force but I'm not from New York too...
Ay im teaching hip hop to a bunch of kids in Oklahoma all funded by the arts council of Oklahoma / also sponsored by the city of Edmond to so hip hop workshops and also the plaza district paid gigs to do hip hop shows and workshops holding it down for the emcees breakers djays and graff writers
I like how the TRUTH is coming out.....PLEASE let us tell OUR story the less outsiders speaking the better...This video is actually about the exploitation of the culture and how it was CREATED by us but we do not financially benefit nor is there any generational wealth for OUR people who actually gave this and many other things to the world.
Sir so called hip hop is simply Black culture. It didn’t start in NY that’s a myth. It started in Black communities all over America. There was no new music or dance or style or slang created. Tell me what was created in NY. Nothing
This sucks. How you do hip-hop history & not mention Mr Magic??? He created "hip hop radio". And hosted that contest sponsored by coka cola. R.i.p. Mr Magic
young hip hop listeners should watch this.

@Young W.A.R., respect to you for recognizing the importance of knowing Hip Hop history, keep SHININ', Word!
Hip hop did not start in the Bronx, it’s Black culture, it started in Black communities. Stop the myth
