    This is such a thoughtful gesture. Grandmaster Flash is a real legend. Once you sit down and talk to him about how sees "music" and what music means to him, it is completely the opposite of what anyone could even imagine or fathom. A true game changer!

    Hip hop can find its roots 70 years in Kingston Jamaica with Jazz music. They couldn't afford. radios so they mimicked. Southern djs over the mics at dances.

      Lies. Hip Hop and all 5 elements was 100% created by ADOS FBA Americans it is ADOS FBA Culture 100%. NOT Caribbeans or Puerto Ricans' those are cultural Mis Appropriations that will be corrected soon' Jamaica got its music and dance culture from African Americans not the other way around' just ask all your ska, rock steady and Reggae pioneers They all said they got it from ADOS FBA Americans and Kool Herc is the biggest fraud in history' Kool Herc is NOT the father of hip hop' He did not create any part of hip hop' these are lies' He didn't even create thee merry go round technique'

      Man, there are several rappers that you could tell, when they entered the game, it totally shifted the landscape of hip hop. WuTang Clan, definitely the Abbott, can in and took it by storm!!!!! I still love WTC too this day as if they just came out. Saw them again for my birthday at the NYSOM tour with two other emcees who totally came through and are godemcee status, NAS and Busta!!! It was sickening!

    Hip-Hop isn't a genre of music...it's a 1970s Bronx subculture that died out in the early 80s. Rapping/Rap was a part of Black American society DECADES before the Hip-Hop movement existed.

  • @bootneyleefarnsworth7307
    @bootneyleefarnsworth7307 Год назад +9

    Rap and Hip-Hop are both Black AmericanDOS creations, however they're two different things with different histories. Ninety-nine percent of the time when people say Hip-Hop what they really mean is Rap, the "Hip-Hop" term needs to be fazed out when discussing music. Technically, Hip-Hop is a youth movement that was birthed in the Bronx and died there. The Hip-Hop term has been misused and thrown around loosely and inappropriately for decades, it's caused confusion and that's one of the reasons Rap doesn't have a proper standard history as a music genre. You don't associate the creation of Blues or Jazz with any type of separate youth or cultural movement so why would you do it with Rap?
