DJ phase really dropped the jewel because if you watch Red Bull breakdancing competition a lot of times they're not even using hip hop music and those guys do not do anything on the beat it's just acrobatics so this man is keeping it real true knowledge of Hip Hop. Exactly why this is the best Channel and you can't get any real hip hop conversation in other places no one talks to the people that were really there besides you so thank you my brother.
If you think the Redbull breakers don't dance on beat you need to get your eyes checked or pay attention more. They definitely dance on beat because you can't even be allowed to compete at that level if you aren't on beat. Even the guys doing acrobatics are doing it to the beat.
@@bboyStuntZ No disrespect but you know they aren't using Hip-hop because they are not Hip-hop. You the only old Black guy hanging with those cornballs. You love the SPORT of it there's no cultural relevance to Rocking aka Break Dancing. You probably only do it to impress WT GIRLS.
@@lroyjetsonson5060 No disrespect, and then you proceed to disrespect. You're a goof. Just say you are jealous of what the redbull breakers can do and leave it at that, because I guarantee you can't come up with a valid argument against them regarding the way they dance. Yes there is a SPORT element to the dance. But the way it's done now is also very artistic if some of you so called OG's pay attention. All you see is flips and spinning. Ya'll don't see that those moves are done on beat, taken to a higher level than back in the 70's. Peeps are still doing toprock, ground footwork, freezes, power moves, burns, you name it. You guys watch a highlight clip of a few acrobatic moves and be like oh they ain't dancing just flipping and spinning. Blanketing everything as just that without paying attention to detail. Ridiculous.
As a Black Jamaican who grew up with Hip Hop culture I give gratitude, respect and honor to the FBA creators of this great and powerful culture. I get how some felt slighted and overlooked, so it's necessary to set the record straight.
@@ray1love1 They are the pioneer Jamaican Deejays yes. But they were both influenced by what they heard on American radio broadcasts in Miami and New Orleans then upgraded and styled it to fit our culture just as we do with foods and fashion from other places. The creations and innovations were happening in both places at same time.
@@ray1love1 Let it go brother. You couldn't honestly say that Hip-hop sounds or had the same groove as the music from the Islands. The Music your parents help near and dear was not what was being played on those breaks or samples later on.
@@EnergyBrooks Thank you for being rational Bruh. This is all we wanted someone to be proud of who they are and not TETHER off our people. You have a long line of music history and culture that is vibrant. I even think that they used Caribbean music as the foundation of Afro Beats even though they say we inspired it. But the sound mimics more Jamaican Style to me.

Why does this TH-cam channel do not have more subscribers than it does. This is the most informative HIP HOP channel out here. Let's change the narrative about HIP HOP and the false lies that's been told for many decades. SALUTE!!!!
Bruh….as a kid from the Flash area of the South Bx, who wasn’t “allowed” to go over to the East til about ‘77/78 this stuff you posting is givin’ me life! Respect!
Sounded like Herc was just ignorantly saying stupid things like he’s the ONLY one and no one was on his platform… when Coke La Rock stated he put Herc up on how to dress etc..smh
Don’t blame Herc. He seems like a low key humble guy but so many people kept pushing the narrative of him creating it that it probably made him think he should just say Thank you and keep it moving. He knows who influenced him and where he saw what he saw.
This video prove people can not always trust history books, especially some info in Hip Hop's history book. Kool Herc is a Hip Hop legend and deserves all the respect for his contribution to Hip Hop. He is not the father/ creator of Hip Hop as Hip Hop's history book say. GREAT VIDEO!!!!
I credit the biggest influence in the formation of hip hop to James Brown. He was king in NYC in the early 70s. Taking it to the bridge inspired extending break beats, Brown’s dancing to his music inspired b-boying, Brown used to cleverly rhyme in his songs and his message resonated with us and brought us together. Brown inspired the creation of hip hop on many levels. Without Brown, hip hop would not be what it is today.
@@lockvegas05 kool. I didn’t know that and I never met Herc. I can only speak from my experience growing up in NYC. I heard of guys like Herc and Bambata growing up but I never actually saw them play or heard them play on cassette tapes as a kid. Flash was always the DJ I heard about the most in my teenage years.
Tariq can’t mention Disco king Mario without mentioning Tex DJ Hollywood🇵🇷🗽 And if you know you know. Fat Joe, Spike Lee and Busta Rymes speaking facts about the beginnings of the 5-Elements of hip hop culture. 🗽🇺🇸🇵🇷🇯🇲🗽🇺🇸🇵🇷🇯🇲🗽
I didn't hear "father of hip hop" until the source or Vibe magazine. Especially, the Vibe that had Herc, Bam, and Flash on the cover. that was the mid 90s
That was the source magazine in 1993, not vibe magazine, trust me, I still have that issue at home. Also, you should check out the documentary "the founding fathers of hip hop" on TH-cam, which explains the deeper roots of hip hop from the DJ'S from Brooklyn like grandmaster flowers. 😎👍🎼🎶🎵🎤🎙📻
@@melanatedwarrior3530 was it that or was it bc those brothers took it to another level and outta one small section of the city? Much respect to the true founders but where was they at when all this was happening and why would there be a concerted effort to prop up the Carribbean cats more than the black americans? We all know if you don’t tell your own story someone else will, where was Mario and them brothers at from 1975 til like 2000 bc I never heard them speaking up until like 10 years ago.

Peace, DJ Phase. Thank you, first of all, for everything you do. It's more and more necessarily as this thing called Hip-hop grows internationally. More than anything, I think the source of the confusion (besides toys that just want to bite and steal) is a lack of clear definition of terms. G, we will never get anywhere without first clarifying the terms: what is "Hip-hop"? what is "breaking"? what is "rap"? These things need to be distinguished clearly. You and this interviewer, for example, aren't even talking about the same thing when you say "breakdance." And then y'all show a clip of breaking from the 80s right after you just finished saying 80s breaking ain't the original. We need clarity! And y'all who were there in 71, 72 are the only ones who can do it.
Well said. DJ Phase. To the Beat. That's. Exactly what I'm talking about. Like green eyes. Said. HIP HOP. DJ. Was only use on the weekend. The Culture was already here
Peace Brother and peace my brother DJ Phase. do you foresee a format where you have DJ Phase interactive with Cholly Rock? Those are 2 different eras of b-boy dancing. The contrast in the view point would be highly informative. You've had similar formats with Freeze in the park and the other brothers. 2 angles of the same circle, only they're interacting. salute to Cholly Rock salute to Kool D. Hope those brothers are in good health.
There were Black Spades in Brooklyn but their numbers were small. And some Black Spades played extras in Sonny Carson. You will see their names in the closing credits with the Tomahawks, Jolly Stompers, and Pure Hell
@@americasmaker big FACTS! He likes teaching college courses on hearsay and made up bs about hip hop. Tbh, hes very ignornant about the true early beginnings of it.
In Brooklyn we called it "Freestyle" and we didn't spin on our heads. We dance like that when we were dancin' with women. With Big Beaver Hats and Stradlers on.
I agree you should reach out to Tariq Nasheed and see if you can be a go between to make sure that all these ogs you've been interviewing over the years making it to the his documentary. Or maybe you can make your own documentary because you have great content footage of the people who are there this is my favorite Channel on TH-cam hands down.
In 1969 Lightning Rod from the last poets did a pre-historic hip hop/jail toast song with Jimi Hendrix called Dorellia Du Fontaine, that deserves infinitely more pioneering credit from the culture of Hip Hop. 5 years later Cool Herc was spinning Lightning Rod’s Hustler’s Convention album in heavy rotation.
The Biz mark and the Wop was Dumb dancing vibes like the Pee wee Herman and Steve Martin then came that dope Scoob and Scrap vibe. Big shots to Fendi, Stezo, Trouble T Roy and Kenny and Shaun
I would say OLD SCHOOL breaking was the ish just like the “up rocking” they was doing in the west coast New style of breaking is more acrobatic then dancing, that’s why I stopped doing it If the rhyming, dancing, or scratching, isn’t on beat to the music, it’s corny cause it’s not connecting to the MUSIC! Also, if Hip Hop is the attitude that you have that makes you hip hop, does that mean its being BLACK AMERICAN that created hip hop which is WHY it wasn't about them being middle class as much as the history of the people doing it being that our story is unique from most people in this country! This could be why NYC isn't making any real unique music anymore, a lot of us left to go back down south. Right when we left, down south rap music got even bigger, there is something to this theory I have! That story is us being from the "Jim Crow south", and where all these talents come from, our story needs to be studied more cause it is very UNIQUE, and can't be compared to others which is why the lies didn't work when telling our story
@bboymidnight4908 the start of HIPHOP is bigger than breakdance!!... backspins , windmills foot work DID NOT START HipHop... however breakdance DID take hiphop to another level... and breakdance / b.boys distinguished hiphop from the disco scene and other party scenes
@TheCulture..Since1971 respectfully i already know that breaking is the 3rd element . Again my question was not answered sir. Can you name a bboy break boy who was doing backspins, foot work , and toprock in the year 1970,1971,1972. Im coming from a information perspective not to verbally attack you.
@bboymidnight4908... as far as naming 1 particular person ... no... cuz it wasn't about singling out anybody ... they did it as just a way of life... it was their little childhood fad at the time... so yes the young spades and baby spades was doing the same footwork that became "breakdance" in 1971 72 73 74 ...there was no "top rock" in hiphop 1971 - 1976!!...NONE OF THE SPADES AND NONE OF THE ORIGINAL B.BOYS CALLED IT "TOPROCK" ..SASA TRIXIE DANCING DOUG ETC.. NONE OF THEM EVER CALLED IT "TOPROCK"... and back spins ..im not sure... but the young spades and baby spades was doing dances with their back on the floor etc...
Kool Herc takes his created for being the first to invent the “Merry Go Round” with black and Latin beats Kool Herc is one of the fathers of hip-hip culture
What the heck is Cholly Roc talking about? There were always teenagers at those so-called "disco" park jams, wearing sneakers and jeans... And what y'all keep calling "disco" was nothing but r&b music
yeah, people keep attempting to make a false distinction between "R&B" or "Disco" and the Funk(y) music that they call "Breaks" without realizing that the music played in "Disco" clubs was danceable Funk/Soul aka "R&B" music. The music that gave birth to early HipHop was "R&B" music in the macro sense.
Cholly knows exactly what he is talking about. I will never discuss the beginnings of hip-hop if you were born after 1965 and even then you are a youngin and can only relate to outside jams in the park. From 1975 to late 1980 there was no way you were getting into no club in NYC anywhere with sneakers and jeans anyone saying anything different is lying because they were too young TO GO TO CLUBS ! The T-Connection, The Celebrity Club, The Stardust Ballroom, The Audubon Ballroom, The Executive Playhouse, The Twilight, The Plaza Tunnel , Black Door, The Galaxy and Xamaca Playhouse -this was an old school sure shot that Flash had on lock. Youngins have no idea where Xamaca Playhouse was. Between 1975-1980 there was no way you were getting into any of the places I just named wearing sneakers and jeans. Richie Tee who ran the T-Connection never allowed it EVER until 1981. Ray Ray who ran Xamaca Playhouse used to tell niggas only kids were sneakers and jeans to a nightclub and he would always say I am not running a nightclub for a bunch of motherfucking kids to roll around on my dance floor. For those who know and remember Tiny was the head of the Casanova Crew and he was the security for Flash AND Black Door. When the B-Boys came to Black Door Tiny would tell them “ I do not care about your age because if I catch you drunk in here your gone but you better have on slacks and shoes. He used to tell niggas go borrow some slacks and shoes from your father or buy some. He would not say anything if you changed in the bathroom so you could be bboy once inside but you did not get in wearing sneakers and jeans. By late 1980 definitely by 1981 the clubs has soften due to the fame of the Rock Steady Crew, punk rock, new wave and Planet Rock. The youngins who were not part of the original era were now old enough to go to clubs and hip-hop was now called rap and being intertwined with graffiti and the word breakdance was formed. At this time now it was moving away from Bronx clubs and downtown to Manhattan and Soho. By !982 it was The Mudd Club, The Ecstasy Lounge , The Palladium, The Paradise Garage, Zanzibar these downtown Manhattan clubs became the new hip-hop clubs of NYC and they absolutely allowed sneakers, jeans and 16 year-old teenagers in. Cholly Rock as were most of the original A1 bboys from the beginning were no longer on the scene for this transformation as he was much older and was in college up in New Platz by then. As I said earlier in this post if you were born in 1963, 1964, 1965 and after you were too young to go to clubs in 1975-1980 because you were way too young so you have no meaningful concept of rules were to get into the clubs back in 75, 76, 77, 78, 79.. Disco King Mario knew this but he also knew his audience were teenagers back in he 70s. Mario like all the other pioneers was born in the mid 50s 1954 to be exact and his mother worked for the NYC Board of Education. He conceived his mother to talk to the Board of ED to allow him to use the gymnasiums of JHS to play jams. The Board of Ed agreed with one catch , they wanted Mario to do a 7 part ABC News special on the importance of education for improvised students in the housing projects. Mario agreed and he was able to play in JHS 123 in 1977. He branched out to other JHS and eventually HS. Bambaataa and him tightly controlled who played in these schools. There you could wear sneakers, jeans, track suits, hoodies and denim jackets with graffiti on the back. These were NYC public JHS not clubs so there was no real dress code and since it was local it was easier to convince parents to allow younger kids to go because there was no alcohol or drugs and it was not a nightclub it was billed more as a student body dance. Herc was totally against it because he felt there was no money to be made playing for teenagers in JHS and HS. You will never see his name on flyers to play in school gymnasiums. Herc played strictly in nightclub venues or outdoors. Next on the list were housing project centers. A lot of early hip-hop jams were played in project centers. There you can get on as a youngin with jeans and sneakers BUT ……………. these were quite dangerous because they were heavily infested with the local gangs and stick-up crews. If you were not from the block or you did not know a real respected nigga from that block you ventured to these centers at your own risk. You had to go deep with your crew or else. You came to these project centers dolo and that was your ass if you didn’t know a nigga. If you brought your ass to Bronx River Center to see Bam play and you were wearing some new kicks and a down jacket , r sheepskin or cortifield coat, leather bomber rope chain and you were not Zulu or affiliated with the Zulus you definitely did not leave with those items. I personally witnessed Zulus walk right up on dudes who was with their girl and tell them “Yo, my man who you know run it down to the Nation.” If your answer was not correct they would say “ Look here, your girl, your kicks, your coat they can stay but you my man have to leave and leave now.” I had seen niggas leave Bronx River naked and the Zulus took their girl. Same at Edenwald, Center. Melrose, Patterson and Forest Housing Centers all were stick-up central buck in the late 70s early 80s. That is why Herc did not play those too often either, low money , high danger. By 1982 the move went to downtown the stick ups stopped because white people, white people with money and real connections were attending the parties and 5-0 protected them fiercely. This is what it was really like on the beginning and how it was. Unless you were born before me you cannot challenge me on the beginning and what Cholly Rick is saying which is factual,as he is not only a close friend but an absolute A1 bboy legend being one of the original 11 Zulu Kings getting down in 1975. As for this DJ Phase whatever is cleaver different era and he is not the original Phase by a long shot. I know the one and only Phase 2 who died in 2019 and he was a legend of hip-hop. He was the one making flyers with Buddy Esquire m 1975-1982. Phase 2 was a pioneer in graffiti and bboy culture having been widely credited and accepted as the founder of uprocking from which breaking derived from. Uprocking was a combination of salsa movers mixed with James Brown’s Funky Chicken and Mash Potato dance steps. Phase 2 used to incorporate Dick Van Dyke moves as well into his uprocking. Phase 2 started the first uprocking crew I forgot the name of this crew. Phase 2 and his crew which was a mix of blacks and Latinos would come to the jams and uprock which amazed dudes. He would never go den on the floor they were strictly uprockers. Phase 2 was born in 1955 and by 1972 The NY Times did a full page interview on his graffiti and by 1978 they did a follow up on him with hip-hop. This DJ Phase was born in 1964 in 1972 he was 8 years old and in 1978 he was 14 years old. No one knew of him beyond his 2-3 block radius of his front door step. He was too young. Cholly Rock was born in May 1960 he was older. I was born in 1962. I was considered a youngin.

"You could do that from any music"--DJ Phase on Breakers creating new moves without needing to be on beat. That is NOT 'break' dancing--breaking is dancing to the rhythm of the beat ON BEAT. If you don't do this, you are just dancing (or doing gymnastics) NOT breakdancing--that is dancing ON THE (BREAK) BEAT.
It seems everyone from this era is giving there personal experience and that’s cool,however more than one thing can be right. They all had a place in hip hop history simultaneously
Edit: i only speak of black folks in America, no one else who has a anti-black agenda! If someone is writing something or saying something and you take it the wrong way, it's best to ask that person head on to get a better understanding of what they ment. Coming to a conclusion based off of emotion won't get us anywhere. Using word symbols such as a quotation marks exclamation marks, or question mark determines a person needing more information. Not speaking on what they know but in some cases using what they know to connect what is truth to expose the lies. you may see the word (lie) doesn't mean that was a concluding statement. The final determination was that vlad lied and tried to bring others in his lies. Vlad lied about Kool herc starting hip-hop and Jamaica being the birthplace. For example: no one knows how yall (phase, coke la rock and others) created the hip-hop genre, that is why we are counting on you to speak the truth. I don't claim to know something about someone's personal life unless they tell me. Information isn't hard to find either and searching for the correct information involves a screening process! You can't just make a simple conclusion based off of what someone says or wrote. Our people in particular the Dogon tribe knew of the earth and the stars true form. Greeks, Roman's, Norse (european) civilizations saw the world to be flat.
No Trixie is not Hispanic and he clearly says it on video. He's also emphatically stated there was NOT any Hispanics or Jamaicans in Hip Hop in the beginning at the parties. Jamaica didn't influence the music nor did Puerto Ricans start break dancing.
Yes. Specially break beats. Going to the beat. I think you should interview me. It went all over the 🌎. Well in 1972. I'm not from the Bronx. I'm from NEWBURGH. NY. I went to a MARIO party.

I Got a lot of Respect for Dj Phase He is a Street Teacher and Lecturer . He says Those who started out telling the truth are often misconstrued as telling lies because many of us read non truths and become brain conditioned that is such a valid point. But surely he can be seen to be guilty of his own logic. Firstly Coke La Rock is st8 up direct and Speaks from the Heart and a lot Older in years. Phase is Saying it came from the streets and parks before it went into the Clubs. But Herc did his first Party in Cedar Ave Block in 73 . So it could be Kool D and Tyrone and Disco Mario started roughly around the same time as Kool Herc . Phase seems to take Issue with Herc JA heritage which Herc was proud of and brought exp of his Culture to Sound system. Coke La Rock alludes to this went talks about how Herc would dress. But these Kids from the Bronx's were never aware of Herc's Caribbean Culture or Interested in Reggae . Also it seems most of the Big Djs were from North Carolina. Although Hip hop is purely a Black American Bronx's Experience . It would not of been possible without SOUND SYSTEM. Peace . The Best way to Battle is Thru LOVE not fighting and as Coke La Rock says If you feel ya Bad then bring ya own Set , so true.
Like you mentioned Dee and Tyrone joined Mario in 1973 two year's after Mario! The break's were being played because that is how I learned to play the drums! In 1971 there was a big system it just wasn't owned by 1 person! The big difference is that I was there! And people still don't understand that this thing called Hip-hop was created by young brown Bronx kid's not from the south but born in NYC!
@@kooldjphase I must be mistaken I thought Tyrone and Kool D were originally from NC too and that he seen brothers spinning with 2 turntables down there first.

@@fastpaced4861 B-Boyin' has way more to do with outlaw dances, but it's not specifically rooted in the Spade dance.

So basically the Spade dance was the same as the uprocking dance styles of the Gangs from Brooklyn.. Need definitive proof that everything Started in the Bronx otherwise correct that and say that Break dancing started in the early 1960s 1970s in New York City not just the Bronx That's where the overall issue begins ...,🤷🏾♂️👑

Sounded like Herc was just ignorantly saying stupid things like he’s the ONLY one and no one was on his platform… when Coke La Rock stated he put Herc up on how to dress etc..smh
Don’t blame Herc. He seems like a low key humble guy but so many people kept pushing the narrative of him creating it that it probably made him think he should just say Thank you and keep it moving. He knows who influenced him and where he saw what he saw.
EXACTLY 💯
This video prove people can not always trust history books, especially some info in Hip Hop's history book.
Kool Herc is a Hip Hop legend and deserves all the respect for his contribution to Hip Hop. He is not the father/ creator of Hip Hop as Hip Hop's history book say.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
He’s the father of creating the “Merry Go Round” with Black and Latin beats.

Kool Herc did coke La Rock wrong. Smh
🤦♂️ man!
I credit the biggest influence in the formation of hip hop to James Brown. He was king in NYC in the early 70s. Taking it to the bridge inspired extending break beats, Brown’s dancing to his music inspired b-boying, Brown used to cleverly rhyme in his songs and his message resonated with us and brought us together. Brown inspired the creation of hip hop on many levels. Without Brown, hip hop would not be what it is today.
Kool Herc is on record stating that hip hop wouldn’t exist without James Brown, and that James Brown is hip hop .
@@lockvegas05 kool. I didn’t know that and I never met Herc. I can only speak from my experience growing up in NYC. I heard of guys like Herc and Bambata growing up but I never actually saw them play or heard them play on cassette tapes as a kid. Flash was always the DJ I heard about the most in my teenage years.
That's why he's called the Godfather of Hip Hop, DJ Kool Herc the Father of Hip Hop, and Coke La Rock the Father of MCs.
@@wulaeofthetengu8336 What? Kool Herc is called the Godfather not the Father Bruh.
James Brown was relevant, but not essential.

Peace, DJ Phase. Thank you, first of all, for everything you do. It's more and more necessarily as this thing called Hip-hop grows internationally. More than anything, I think the source of the confusion (besides toys that just want to bite and steal) is a lack of clear definition of terms. G, we will never get anywhere without first clarifying the terms: what is "Hip-hop"? what is "breaking"? what is "rap"? These things need to be distinguished clearly. You and this interviewer, for example, aren't even talking about the same thing when you say "breakdance." And then y'all show a clip of breaking from the 80s right after you just finished saying 80s breaking ain't the original. We need clarity! And y'all who were there in 71, 72 are the only ones who can do it.
Well said. DJ Phase. To the Beat. That's. Exactly what I'm talking about. Like green eyes. Said. HIP HOP. DJ. Was only use on the weekend. The Culture was already here

In 1969 Lightning Rod from the last poets did a pre-historic hip hop/jail toast song with Jimi Hendrix called Dorellia Du Fontaine, that deserves infinitely more pioneering credit from the culture of Hip Hop. 5 years later Cool Herc was spinning Lightning Rod’s Hustler’s Convention album in heavy rotation.

The Biz mark and the Wop was Dumb dancing vibes like the Pee wee Herman and Steve Martin then came that dope Scoob and Scrap vibe. Big shots to Fendi, Stezo, Trouble T Roy and Kenny and Shaun
I would say OLD SCHOOL breaking was the ish just like the “up rocking” they was doing in the west coast
New style of breaking is more acrobatic then dancing, that’s why I stopped doing it
If the rhyming, dancing, or scratching, isn’t on beat to the music, it’s corny cause it’s not connecting to the MUSIC!
Also, if Hip Hop is the attitude that you have that makes you hip hop, does that mean its being BLACK AMERICAN that created hip hop which is WHY it wasn't about them being middle class as much as the history of the people doing it being that our story is unique from most people in this country! This could be why NYC isn't making any real unique music anymore, a lot of us left to go back down south. Right when we left, down south rap music got even bigger, there is something to this theory I have!
That story is us being from the "Jim Crow south", and where all these talents come from, our story needs to be studied more cause it is very UNIQUE, and can't be compared to others which is why the lies didn't work when telling our story
As a bboy for 20 yrs can you name a bboy from 70 ,71, that was doing backspins , windmills foot work and toprock .
@bboymidnight4908 the start of HIPHOP is bigger than breakdance!!... backspins , windmills foot work DID NOT START HipHop... however breakdance DID take hiphop to another level... and breakdance / b.boys distinguished hiphop from the disco scene and other party scenes
@TheCulture..Since1971 respectfully i already know that breaking is the 3rd element . Again my question was not answered sir. Can you name a bboy break boy who was doing backspins, foot work , and toprock in the year 1970,1971,1972.
Im coming from a information perspective not to verbally attack you.
@bboymidnight4908... as far as naming 1 particular person ... no... cuz it wasn't about singling out anybody ... they did it as just a way of life... it was their little childhood fad at the time... so yes the young spades and baby spades was doing the same footwork that became "breakdance" in 1971 72 73 74 ...there was no "top rock" in hiphop 1971 - 1976!!...NONE OF THE SPADES AND NONE OF THE ORIGINAL B.BOYS CALLED IT "TOPROCK" ..SASA TRIXIE DANCING DOUG ETC.. NONE OF THEM EVER CALLED IT "TOPROCK"... and back spins ..im not sure... but the young spades and baby spades was doing dances with their back on the floor etc...
Backspins didn't start till the 80s

It’s sad how herc takes the credit when knowing the truth
Kool Herc takes his created for being the first to invent the “Merry Go Round” with black and Latin beats
Kool Herc is one of the fathers of hip-hip culture
Remember they had low lifers back then
My cousin Dewayne would come fresh and always check us on our gear 😆
What the heck is Cholly Roc talking about? There were always teenagers at those so-called "disco" park jams, wearing sneakers and jeans... And what y'all keep calling "disco" was nothing but r&b music
Sporty Sneakers and jeans has always been apart of Black American culture all over America.
yeah, people keep attempting to make a false distinction between "R&B" or "Disco" and the Funk(y) music that they call "Breaks" without realizing that the music played in "Disco" clubs was danceable Funk/Soul aka "R&B" music. The music that gave birth to early HipHop was "R&B" music in the macro sense.
Cholly knows exactly what he is talking about. I will never discuss the beginnings of hip-hop if you were born after 1965 and even then you are a youngin and can only relate to outside jams in the park. From 1975 to late 1980 there was no way you were getting into no club in NYC anywhere with sneakers and jeans anyone saying anything different is lying because they were too young TO GO TO CLUBS ! The T-Connection, The Celebrity Club, The Stardust Ballroom, The Audubon Ballroom, The Executive Playhouse, The Twilight, The Plaza Tunnel , Black Door, The Galaxy and Xamaca Playhouse -this was an old school sure shot that Flash had on lock. Youngins have no idea where Xamaca Playhouse was. Between 1975-1980 there was no way you were getting into any of the places I just named wearing sneakers and jeans. Richie Tee who ran the T-Connection never allowed it EVER until 1981. Ray Ray who ran Xamaca Playhouse used to tell niggas only kids were sneakers and jeans to a nightclub and he would always say I am not running a nightclub for a bunch of motherfucking kids to roll around on my dance floor. For those who know and remember Tiny was the head of the Casanova Crew and he was the security for Flash AND Black Door. When the B-Boys came to Black Door Tiny would tell them “ I do not care about your age because if I catch you drunk in here your gone but you better have on slacks and shoes. He used to tell niggas go borrow some slacks and shoes from your father or buy some. He would not say anything if you changed in the bathroom so you could be bboy once inside but you did not get in wearing sneakers and jeans.
By late 1980 definitely by 1981 the clubs has soften due to the fame of the Rock Steady Crew, punk rock, new wave and Planet Rock. The youngins who were not part of the original era were now old enough to go to clubs and hip-hop was now called rap and being intertwined with graffiti and the word breakdance was formed. At this time now it was moving away from Bronx clubs and downtown to Manhattan and Soho. By !982 it was The Mudd Club, The Ecstasy Lounge , The Palladium, The Paradise Garage, Zanzibar these downtown Manhattan clubs became the new hip-hop clubs of NYC and they absolutely allowed sneakers, jeans and 16 year-old teenagers in. Cholly Rock as were most of the original A1 bboys from the beginning were no longer on the scene for this transformation as he was much older and was in college up in New Platz by then.
As I said earlier in this post if you were born in 1963, 1964, 1965 and after you were too young to go to clubs in 1975-1980 because you were way too young so you have no meaningful concept of rules were to get into the clubs back in 75, 76, 77, 78, 79.. Disco King Mario knew this but he also knew his audience were teenagers back in he 70s. Mario like all the other pioneers was born in the mid 50s 1954 to be exact and his mother worked for the NYC Board of Education. He conceived his mother to talk to the Board of ED to allow him to use the gymnasiums of JHS to play jams. The Board of Ed agreed with one catch , they wanted Mario to do a 7 part ABC News special on the importance of education for improvised students in the housing projects. Mario agreed and he was able to play in JHS 123 in 1977. He branched out to other JHS and eventually HS. Bambaataa and him tightly controlled who played in these schools. There you could wear sneakers, jeans, track suits, hoodies and denim jackets with graffiti on the back. These were NYC public JHS not clubs so there was no real dress code and since it was local it was easier to convince parents to allow younger kids to go because there was no alcohol or drugs and it was not a nightclub it was billed more as a student body dance. Herc was totally against it because he felt there was no money to be made playing for teenagers in JHS and HS. You will never see his name on flyers to play in school gymnasiums. Herc played strictly in nightclub venues or outdoors. Next on the list were housing project centers. A lot of early hip-hop jams were played in project centers. There you can get on as a youngin with jeans and sneakers BUT ……………. these were quite dangerous because they were heavily infested with the local gangs and stick-up crews. If you were not from the block or you did not know a real respected nigga from that block you ventured to these centers at your own risk. You had to go deep with your crew or else. You came to these project centers dolo and that was your ass if you didn’t know a nigga. If you brought your ass to Bronx River Center to see Bam play and you were wearing some new kicks and a down jacket , r sheepskin or cortifield coat, leather bomber rope chain and you were not Zulu or affiliated with the Zulus you definitely did not leave with those items. I personally witnessed Zulus walk right up on dudes who was with their girl and tell them “Yo, my man who you know run it down to the Nation.” If your answer was not correct they would say “ Look here, your girl, your kicks, your coat they can stay but you my man have to leave and leave now.” I had seen niggas leave Bronx River naked and the Zulus took their girl. Same at Edenwald, Center. Melrose, Patterson and Forest Housing Centers all were stick-up central buck in the late 70s early 80s. That is why Herc did not play those too often either, low money , high danger. By 1982 the move went to downtown the stick ups stopped because white people, white people with money and real connections were attending the parties and 5-0 protected them fiercely.
This is what it was really like on the beginning and how it was. Unless you were born before me you cannot challenge me on the beginning and what Cholly Rick is saying which is factual,as he is not only a close friend but an absolute A1 bboy legend being one of the original 11 Zulu Kings getting down in 1975. As for this DJ Phase whatever is cleaver different era and he is not the original Phase by a long shot. I know the one and only Phase 2 who died in 2019 and he was a legend of hip-hop. He was the one making flyers with Buddy Esquire m 1975-1982. Phase 2 was a pioneer in graffiti and bboy culture having been widely credited and accepted as the founder of uprocking from which breaking derived from. Uprocking was a combination of salsa movers mixed with James Brown’s Funky Chicken and Mash Potato dance steps. Phase 2 used to incorporate Dick Van Dyke moves as well into his uprocking. Phase 2 started the first uprocking crew I forgot the name of this crew. Phase 2 and his crew which was a mix of blacks and Latinos would come to the jams and uprock which amazed dudes. He would never go den on the floor they were strictly uprockers. Phase 2 was born in 1955 and by 1972 The NY Times did a full page interview on his graffiti and by 1978 they did a follow up on him with hip-hop. This DJ Phase was born in 1964 in 1972 he was 8 years old and in 1978 he was 14 years old. No one knew of him beyond his 2-3 block radius of his front door step. He was too young.
Cholly Rock was born in May 1960 he was older. I was born in 1962. I was considered a youngin.

Edit: i only speak of black folks in America, no one else who has a anti-black agenda!
If someone is writing something or saying something and you take it the wrong way, it's best to ask that person head on to get a better understanding of what they ment. Coming to a conclusion based off of emotion won't get us anywhere. Using word symbols such as a quotation marks exclamation marks, or question mark determines a person needing more information. Not speaking on what they know but in some cases using what they know to connect what is truth to expose the lies. you may see the word (lie) doesn't mean that was a concluding statement. The final determination was that vlad lied and tried to bring others in his lies. Vlad lied about Kool herc starting hip-hop and Jamaica being the birthplace.
For example: no one knows how yall (phase, coke la rock and others) created the hip-hop genre, that is why we are counting on you to speak the truth. I don't claim to know something about someone's personal life unless they tell me.
Information isn't hard to find either and searching for the correct information involves a screening process! You can't just make a simple conclusion based off of what someone says or wrote. Our people in particular the Dogon tribe knew of the earth and the stars true form. Greeks, Roman's, Norse (european) civilizations saw the world to be flat.

I Got a lot of Respect for Dj Phase He is a Street Teacher and Lecturer . He says Those who started out telling the truth are often misconstrued as telling lies because many of us read non truths and become brain conditioned that is such a valid point. But surely he can be seen to be guilty of his own logic. Firstly Coke La Rock is st8 up direct and Speaks from the Heart and a lot Older in years. Phase is Saying it came from the streets and parks before it went into the Clubs. But Herc did his first Party in Cedar Ave Block in 73 . So it could be Kool D and Tyrone and Disco Mario started roughly around the same time as Kool Herc . Phase seems to take Issue with Herc JA heritage which Herc was proud of and brought exp of his Culture to Sound system. Coke La Rock alludes to this went talks about how Herc would dress. But these Kids from the Bronx's were never aware of Herc's Caribbean Culture or Interested in Reggae . Also it seems most of the Big Djs were from North Carolina. Although Hip hop is purely a Black American Bronx's Experience . It would not of been possible without SOUND SYSTEM. Peace . The Best way to Battle is Thru LOVE not fighting and as Coke La Rock says If you feel ya Bad then bring ya own Set , so true.
Like you mentioned Dee and Tyrone joined Mario in 1973 two year's after Mario! The break's were being played because that is how I learned to play the drums! In 1971 there was a big system it just wasn't owned by 1 person! The big difference is that I was there!

@@fastpaced4861 B-Boyin' has way more to do with outlaw dances, but it's not specifically rooted in the Spade dance. It's why you can't attribute a single B-Boy step, to any dance, from anyone in The Spades. B-Boyin' as we know it, is 99.9% PR. Like it, or not. If you're from The Bronx, you know this.
@@randee4550 bboying is 0% pr and 100% Black American. this is what the witnesses have said.
So basically the Spade dance was the same as the uprocking dance styles of the Gangs from Brooklyn..
Need definitive proof that everything
Started in the Bronx otherwise correct that and say that Break dancing started in the early 1960s 1970s in New York City not just the Bronx
That's where the overall issue begins ...,🤷🏾♂️👑
