Faaacts. See the more things like this happen along with the comments and videos by small channels as well as documentaries like Mic Check that Tariq Nasheed put out to disprove that bullshit that Fat Joe said. The Puerto Ricans online started to silence. Before that, they tried to double down on it. Using Fat Joe as a talking point. You have liars like Derek Colon aka Dr Colon that try to lie and say Puerto Ricans created hip hop along with Black people making videos saying it every day all day. Even when a Puerto Rican from the early days in hip hop told him to his face, Black people created hip hop. Because he needed to push his agenda. From my small channel to Tariq Nasheeds' huge channel, he got exposed. Last I heard he was claiming he was putting out a documentary about how Puerto Ricans helped us create hip hop. If you look at his channel everything is a far reach. Nothing makes sense. So a whole entire doc of his b.s. will be hilarious if he can actually accomplish it. But once he puts that lying trash out. It will further validate what we have already been saying.
WATERGOD TV just dropped a video with a old school Kool Herc interview....Herc straight up said he didnt create Hip Hop he said it was already in motion because he was going to parties as a teenager and the DJs was spinning soul and disco records and dudes was rapping as early as 1971, 72. He credited Black American soul artist as his main influence.
@JosephHartman-q8t Cap ... we give Africa too much credit for cultural shit that was already here in north and mid and south America... like Drums and shit... yall think they had no Instruments in America? Just in Africa? Cap ... aint nobody from America was influenced by African musically until recently...
Notice how none of the people out here lying and saying Latinos helped create OUR hip hop culture were either not old enough, or present during the inception of Hip hop? Every single pioneer who was actually present ALL say Black Americans created hip hop. Even the few non black Pioneers admit that Black Americans created hip hop.

We as fans don’t care about the platforms, Grammys etc. or nothing you talking about that’s for the artists to be concerned about. People always trying to change the subject from the original topic. This is a big business. The corporations put money into it. That’s for artists to get compensated. But the original topic is Black-Americans created, innovated and invented Hip-Hop. And it wasn’t no co-creation. That’s it and that’s all.

What Puerto Ricans and Jamacians don’t realize is that rap music has been in America for as long as AA have been in America which means it has been here since America began. Rap music has always been a part of the AA community in one form or the other. Our enslaved ancestors used to do a form of rap music called ham boning where they used to simultaneously slap on their chest and legs to make a drum sound(slave masters outlawed the drums because they were afraid that the slaves would used them to organize a rebellion) and then they would build different rap songs starting with the words “Ham bone,ham bone have you heard….” as they made the drum sound. This kind of rap music is still practiced in parts of the Deep South. Then in the 20’s jazz artists like Cab Calloway began playing a form of rap music called Jive Talking. He had rap songs like Minnie the Moocher and Jumping Jive. Big Band jazz Artist like Cab Calloway are the inspiration for Jamaican’s Toasting form of MCing. After that in the 40’s and 50’s you had gospel groups like the Jubaliares who had a rap song called“The Preacher and the Bear”. Then in the 60’s Pigmeat Markham had a big hit with a rap song called “Here Comes the Judge”. But the artist who really sparked the youth in the city to want to rap was James Brown who had a big hit with a song called “Say It Loud,I’m Black and I’m Proud”. Suddenly,everyone wanted to do rap music but though they could rap they couldn’t make the music because you needed a band to do that then as fate would have it in James Brown music Dj’s found a solution to that problem. The powerful thing about “Say It Loud” and most of James Brown’s music is that it is built around the breakdown of the song. In other words,his music consists of a funky music section that is repeated over and over. The people love the funky breakdowns in JB’s songs because they were perfect for dancing to and rapping over but as I stated above,you had to have a band to recreate it. Then miraculously DJ’s figured out how to duplicate the funky breakdown in JB’s music by using two turntables and two of the same James Brown records to extend the funky breakdown by alternating between the two records. Now you no longer needed a band and therefore anyone who knew how to rap and had access to a knowledgeable DJ could make rap music. This was the birth of modern day hip hop music.
That's nice and where has it all gone to now ??? Drill music ohh ok ... yal focus on this but not the fact that you don't run or own your own culture... who owns the records labels ? Who owns the radio stations? Who owns the artist marketing and publishing? Who owns billboards ? Who owns streaming platforms ? Jay z sold tidal to white man... bet network sold to white man ... what awards do artist get like rock and roll or Grammy etc.. why don't you have your own thing ?? ?
That's a whole different argument why are you trying to deflect from the real issue and the real issue is despite how you tried to cover it up. Did Puerto Ricans create or even helped create hip hop and the answer is hell no!! All that other s*** you're trying to spew out is irrelevant to the fact that Black America is marketable and profitable and you non-whites are eating off of culture while biting the hand that feeds you . A lot of you Hispanics will be broke as fuk had it not been for hip hop hip hop has made you guys millionaires why don't you just sit back shut the fuk up and just say thank you
@@crayon162every time we try to have something you guys come trying to claim it .. we can't have s*** without you guys trying to put your spin on it and then instead of giving us the proper appreciation. You try to steal it. But it's not surprising the Spanish colonizer has always done that
Crazy how I used to cop all of those mixtapes from Rhythm Den in the late 70s. I was between 10-12yrs old. Cassettes & 8 Track ran between $5 & $10 depending on length. I throughly enjoyed this interview.
Word!! Sir "Richie Tee's Record Shop" RHYTHM DEN on Tremont Ave next to Arthur Ave Park, up a few Blocks from WEBSTER Ave.. Sir Richie Tee was also the OWNER Of the T-CONNECTION CLUB Up on Gunhill Rd back in the Late 70's to the early 80's..
Back then it wasn't just music, FBAs from NY set all the trends from fashion, style, swag, street slang, sports (And-1 style, ankle breaking basketball and dunking), gangsta boxing. We did it all.
FBAs have receipts for everything we claim. FBAs are admired and immitated worldwide for our contributions to music, sports, and most forms of entertainment and style. The best of the best in many of these areas are FBA. We are the trend setters.
Rahiem tells no lies, i was born in 75 in Brooklyn and The Bronx. 100 correct and I am puerto rican/african (Nigerian,Bantu peoples, Cameroon), Spaniard and Indigenius Native to Puerto Rico.
Salute to Doggy Diamonds for inviting a true hip hop pioneer on the show to clear things up and inform people about the truth of the origin of hip hop. I really enjoyed this interview
@@enosger - You thought you ate with that comment RAHIEM has a track on the soundtrack called, "Does Your Man Know About Me" He's rapping and singing on it So the better question is... Are YOU a Hip-Hop head?
Salute and much respect. Rapper's Delight was the coolest when I was in school. Thank you, Bro. Rahiem, thank you for your time tonight and contribution to the culture. Thank you DD for all you do. Peace and love.
Rahiem is one of the greatest emcees to do it. He was fire when he started and he kept updating his flow throughout the different eras, which is hard to do. I saw them perform live back in 82 or 83 and got a chance to meet them. They were my first favorite rap group. Salute to this Legend, Rahiem!!!!

SMH!🤮🤮😠😠😠😠 WE MUST DELINEATE! NO MORE GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY! GREAT interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the most comprehensive, well done interviews on the history of Hip-Hop. This is a master class. Respect. Hopefully, you can interview Ced Gee on the subject as well.
Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans DID NOT CREATE HIP HOP Black Americans did. Jamaicans created Reggae Music and Dancehall, if an American ever say they created Reggae and dancehall them would feel the heat of every Jamaican. Jamaicans don’t play with there heritage music and food. SO WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE TO COME FOR BLACK AMERICANS. Lot of white Puerto Riicans some of the black ones behave racist to Black Americans. EVERY BODY LOVE TO COME FOR BLACK AMERICANS ashen they are the ones that fought against racism to achieve civil rights
Historically, there were the 1940’s Jubilaires & Ink Spots who first rapped on records. Today’s rap started with Black DJ’s in NYC spinning rhymes over mics & the Geminis (turntables) and hi-fidelity speakers at house & rec center parties in the early 70’s. Equipment had to be top-notch. There was also NC’s Pigmeat Markham rapping over drums around that time (earlier, 1968) in “Here Come De Judge.” The other influence was the revolutionary spoken word artists (over beats - conga drums), the Last Poets in ‘71. It was later in the decade that what is now called Hip Hop was formed.
Facts! I remember being a kid in the mid 80’s and my mother would always say. People been rapping. This isn’t new. Mind you my mother was born in the early 40’s!.
Circa, 1971, a young 16 year old, named John Brown, who attended the same HS as Herc, goes into the Plaza Tunnel, and asked the club owner, would he be willing to accommodate teens, of high school age, to party at his establishment. He asked the owner if he would get an additional turnable so he could dj, for young Black teens who had no place to party. This place, The Plaza Tunnel, accommodated close to 500 people. Among those that frequented the PT were , Mario, Herc, Bam, Fat Mike, and the Black Spades, Mean Gene, Smokey, Phase 2, Stay High, Super Kool, Coke La Rock, and ROBERT HEVELOW (The PT bartender), and other cats who later became pioneers. At the PT, DJ John Brown, who went by the dj name "JB" would play disco, rnb as well as some of the obscure records, that Herc built his playlist from. At a specific time of night, a call would go out, over the mic, for the teens to have dance contests (Specifically Burning). As the strobe light would flicker away, the teens would form circles and battle it out, as JB, would play obscure records to the crowds delight. JB would also play many JB hits, one being the song "Soul Power." The B. Spades would then bombard the dance floor, and do their Spade Dance, a dance that is still seen today at some HH venues. This act, caused concern among some of the party goers at the PT, causing the owner , to raise the entry age limit to 18. Fast forward,... beacuse of a court injunction, in May '73, The Plaza Tunnel eventually closes. The teens, who attended the PT, were from all over the Bronx, eventually, had to party elsewhere. This is where , ur pioneers, that attended these parties come in. Some establish their own following. A year later, Robert Hevelow, opens up The Hevelow, n takes DJ Jb with him, as his first DJ. For a short period, DJ, Jb stays as the house dj. Jb then goes away to college. Herc eventually becomes the house dj...the rest is history!!! Was the PT scene flipped into HH...? Stay tuned!!
We also need to have a conversation about Brooklyn and Queens DJ'S who where doing it in the late 60's. Let's get it y'all, let's tell the full story... The truth will set us free. Facts
Yes, Prince WhipA Whip and Ruby D of the Fantastic 5 MCs. "Ruby D is my name and I'm a puerto rican, you think I'm black by the way I'm speaking " Ruby D. Check, he said "think I'm black." Right there he is, saying he was being like Black people, not latino.
I Am Sooooo Loving Brotha Rahiem giving the world the TRUTH! I need a documentary from my generation Bro. Rahiem🤎❤️🖤💚 Thank you, Brotha Doggie Diamonds 💎 This is everything🙏🏾❣️
This is sooooo dope Doggie. Shout out Rahiem pioneer and original child of the beginning of it all. This is such a solid and informative interview. Thanks Doggie Diamonds for all you do to preserve Hip Hop's legacy the right way. This is so legendary ❤️🖤💚✊🏿✊🏿💪🏿💪🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Doggie is an idiot. He ruined this interview. Many of these guys just are not very smart... And, we have to admit that. This could have been a legendary interview. Enough said 🔥
@@marcus.g.4273 it was Legendary IF you living in NY at the time we were jamming in the parks and going to the rec centers he was talking about…it’s the truth I REMEMBER
"Back in the Day" I was a female MC! When it all first started we were known as MC'S and I can say for certain "biting" other people ryhmes was quite common. Some who had records out back then even wrote about it in their lyrics saying, "they bite/they never write/that's not polite" cause it was a known thing being done among those who rapped. Nobody knew or understood the "business side" of music because the focus was to perform and be known. As for Fat Joe, I'm real sorry he said those things and hope "divisions and factions" aren't created because of it. I feel like this: When you hear the truth "respect and receive it" because you've been given TRUTH and truth is to be respected. You ain't gotta "like or agree" with it but somebody just told you something that was "real". And if a man see's you or "us" as A MONKEY then that's information you need to know. Unless you'd like to believe there is love where there isn't. Or, percieve somebody as "a brother" who perceives you as "an animal". So respect it for what it is and "keep it pushing".
@@GunsAndGloves Yeah, today I would be that - but not back then! It was crystal clear it was "a man thing" and a female had to fight like hell just to "get the mic" - particularly if they didn't know you and that wasn't your hood. Fortunately, I had a best friend who would go with me to parks & clubs where they were playing music and she would tell the DJ, "yo, give my gurl the mic - she nice!"...lol!! I was shy but she was relentless and once I got on the mic - it was OVER!!! I didn't have no more problems getting it after that. We got in many party's "free" traveling with the DJ & Crew. R.I.P Claudette Evans (who to me was the first "hype man" who was a female cause that's what she was for me! )
❤MAD RESPECT TO Y'ALL!!! 🫡SALUTE❤ to you for keeping the TRUTH REAL, for HIP HOP!!!❤I'm an Old School Lover of HIP HOP... 1979 is when I started enjoying Rap.
Hiphop started in the late 60's by the black youth in New York City primarily in the 5 boroughs. This was a new genre created to voice the ghetto struggle in urban America. Some notable contributors of the genre include DJ flowers, Kool Herc, and Africa Bam. However, there are many others who created this art-form.
Powerful interview. Great breakdown. This was a fire show content wise. However, I got to say this out of love, we've all become accustomed to a certain quality when it comes to audio, and it was very difficult hearing his audio compared to yours that was crispy and clean, he needed a better mic. He needed a better mic sound. Hopefully he will do actual sit Downs and share his story where he already got a mic and the quality is good, but other than that powerful show 💪🏽
In June 1978 at the Savoy Manor in the Bx. me and my E. Harlem family the Johnson and Taft houses went to the party at the Savoy and our 1st live witnessing of what would later be hip-hop got to see DJ Hollywood rock the mic and turntables for dolo. Puerto Ricans from our hood didn't go and were not there. Their parents didn't listen to the Otis Redding or Ray Charles or Aretha Franklin like our parents did as we grew up on the 60s.
Been lost respect for him he has spit lie after lie and instead of just correcting he doubled down on these lies the culture is the people nobody ever Ed influenced or wanted to be like a PR or Jamaican ever not even today I don’t know why people keep trying to put PR as Black people when the majority of their blood is from Spain I’d bet my last dollar of fat Joe or any PR show their ID 🪪 it would say they are white and as far as Jamaicans they have always dressed sort of bummy they never had no style you can’t point to anything in hip hop that comes from either
Hey Raheim. Love You Brother. I'm 66 years old and remember during the inception as a 11yr old, Mean Gene, Grand Wizard Theodore was spining on the turntsbles from the electricity off the street lights. 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
I am from the Bronx and I approve this message. Fat Joe knows better and I do not understand why he would said that! What he said was DISRESPECTFUL and the fact that he wants to act like Blacks did not start Rap and the Culture is ridiculous!! Rahiem is correct the Puerto Ricans other Latin communities and Caribbean communities did their own thing. They also hung out with the Blacks when we did our things. What hurts the most is in the Bronx we consider everyone as family and we all looked out for each other. I do not know where all this segregation , taking over the Black culture and acting like we (Blacks) don't exist comes from. We were in the trenches together. Now it is okay to act like Blacks didn't create anything especially Hip Hop. Anyone that is from my area know about the Block Parties and rap battles. I hope every Elder Hip Hop person tells the truth. Fat Joe knew this new generation will fall for anything. Why does everyone take from us (Blacks) and act like we didn't create anything? I am so happy Rahiem is telling the truth!!!!
I really enjoyed your interview with Rahiem from the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. I found out a whole lot things that I wouldn't have known about if I had not seen this interview.

After that in the 40’s and 50’s you had gospel groups like the Jubaliares who had a rap song called“The Preacher and the Bear”. Then in the 60’s Pigmeat Markham had a big hit with a rap song called “Here Comes the Judge”. But the artist who really sparked the youth in the city to want to rap was James Brown who had a big hit with a song called “Say It Loud,I’m Black and I’m Proud”. Suddenly,everyone wanted to do rap music but though they could rap they couldn’t make the music because you needed a band to do that then as fate would have it in James Brown music Dj’s found a solution to that problem. The powerful thing about “Say It Loud” and most of James Brown’s music is that it is built around the breakdown of the song. In other words,his music consists of a funky music section that is repeated over and over. The people love the funky breakdowns in JB’s songs because they were perfect for dancing to and rapping over but as I stated above,you had to have a band to recreate it. Then miraculously DJ’s figured out how to duplicate the funky breakdown in JB’s music by using two turntables and two of the same James Brown records to extend the funky breakdown by alternating between the two records. Now you no longer needed a band and therefore anyone who knew how to rap and had access to a knowledgeable DJ could make rap music. This was the birth of modern day hip hop music.
That's nice and where has it all gone to now ??? Drill music ohh ok ... yal focus on this but not the fact that you don't run or own your own culture... who owns the records labels ? Who owns the radio stations? Who owns the artist marketing and publishing? Who owns billboards ? Who owns streaming platforms ? Jay z sold tidal to white man... bet network sold to white man ... what awards do artist get like rock and roll or Grammy etc.. why don't you have your own thing ??
?
That's a whole different argument why are you trying to deflect from the real issue and the real issue is despite how you tried to cover it up. Did Puerto Ricans create or even helped create hip hop and the answer is hell no!! All that other s*** you're trying to spew out is irrelevant to the fact that Black America is marketable and profitable and you non-whites are eating off of culture while biting the hand that feeds you . A lot of you Hispanics will be broke as fuk had it not been for hip hop hip hop has made you guys millionaires why don't you just sit back shut the fuk up and just say thank you
@@crayon162every time we try to have something you guys come trying to claim it .. we can't have s*** without you guys trying to put your spin on it and then instead of giving us the proper appreciation. You try to steal it. But it's not surprising the Spanish colonizer has always done that

Salute and much respect. Rapper's Delight was the coolest when I was in school. Thank you, Bro. Rahiem, thank you for your time tonight and contribution to the culture. Thank you DD for all you do. Peace and love.
Rahiem is one of the greatest emcees to do it. He was fire when he started and he kept updating his flow throughout the different eras, which is hard to do. I saw them perform live back in 82 or 83 and got a chance to meet them. They were my first favorite rap group. Salute to this Legend, Rahiem!!!!

Rahiem with the dopest flow. Early! Appreciate this @DoggieDiamonds. Thank you.
Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans DID NOT CREATE HIP HOP Black Americans did. Jamaicans created Reggae Music and Dancehall, if an American ever say they created Reggae and dancehall them would feel the heat of every Jamaican. Jamaicans don’t play with there heritage music and food. SO WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE TO COME FOR BLACK AMERICANS. Lot of white Puerto Riicans some of the black ones behave racist to Black Americans. EVERY BODY LOVE TO COME FOR BLACK AMERICANS ashen they are the ones that fought against racism to achieve civil rights
Facts and I’m of Jamaican descent 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Salute Doggie 🫡 , dug in your fact check bag & pulled out the bro Rahiem & set the record straight.. 💯🔥🔥
Historically, there were the 1940’s Jubilaires & Ink Spots who first rapped on records. Today’s rap started with Black DJ’s in NYC spinning rhymes over mics & the Geminis (turntables) and hi-fidelity speakers at house & rec center parties in the early 70’s. Equipment had to be top-notch. There was also NC’s Pigmeat Markham rapping over drums around that time (earlier, 1968) in “Here Come De Judge.” The other influence was the revolutionary spoken word artists (over beats - conga drums), the Last Poets in ‘71. It was later in the decade that what is now called Hip Hop was formed.

@@jaymo4ever talk about it ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Facts! I remember being a kid in the mid 80’s and my mother would always say. People been rapping. This isn’t new. Mind you my mother was born in the early 40’s!.
Wow Rahiem is that guy! Was in both Funky 4 AND Furious 5. Was always one of the more skillful MC's from day dot
Fantastic interview Doggie Diamonds and Rahiem, great questions and even greater answers. Thanks for setting the record straight 🔥🔥
Circa, 1971, a young 16 year old, named John Brown, who attended the same HS as Herc, goes into the Plaza Tunnel, and asked the club owner, would he be willing to accommodate teens, of high school age, to party at his establishment. He asked the owner if he would get an additional turnable so he could dj, for young Black teens who had no place to party. This place, The Plaza Tunnel, accommodated close to 500 people. Among those that frequented the PT were , Mario, Herc, Bam, Fat Mike, and the Black Spades, Mean Gene, Smokey, Phase 2, Stay High, Super Kool, Coke La Rock, and ROBERT HEVELOW (The PT bartender), and other cats who later became pioneers. At the PT, DJ John Brown, who went by the dj name "JB" would play disco, rnb as well as some of the obscure records, that Herc built his playlist from. At a specific time of night, a call would go out, over the mic, for the teens to have dance contests (Specifically Burning). As the strobe light would flicker away, the teens would form circles and battle it out, as JB, would play obscure records to the crowds delight. JB would also play many JB hits, one being the song "Soul Power." The B. Spades would then bombard the dance floor, and do their Spade Dance, a dance that is still seen today at some HH venues. This act, caused concern among some of the party goers at the PT, causing the owner , to raise the entry age limit to 18. Fast forward,... beacuse of a court injunction, in May '73, The Plaza Tunnel eventually closes. The teens, who attended the PT, were from all over the Bronx, eventually, had to party elsewhere. This is where , ur pioneers, that attended these parties come in. Some establish their own following. A year later, Robert Hevelow, opens up The Hevelow, n takes DJ Jb with him, as his first DJ. For a short period, DJ, Jb stays as the house dj. Jb then goes away to college. Herc eventually becomes the house dj...the rest is history!!! Was the PT scene flipped into HH...? Stay tuned!!
Very informative, Thanks!

Doggie is an idiot. He ruined this interview. Many of these guys just are not very smart... And, we have to admit that. This could have been a legendary interview. Enough said 🔥
@@marcus.g.4273 it was Legendary IF you living in NY at the time we were jamming in the parks and going to the rec centers he was talking about…it’s the truth I REMEMBER
"Back in the Day" I was a female MC! When it all first started we were known as MC'S and I can say for certain "biting" other people ryhmes was quite common. Some who had records out back then even wrote about it in their lyrics saying, "they bite/they never write/that's not polite" cause it was a known thing being done among those who rapped. Nobody knew or understood the "business side" of music because the focus was to perform and be known. As for Fat Joe, I'm real sorry he said those things and hope "divisions and factions" aren't created because of it. I feel like this: When you hear the truth "respect and receive it" because you've been given TRUTH and truth is to be respected. You ain't gotta "like or agree" with it but somebody just told you something that was "real". And if a man see's you or "us" as A MONKEY then that's information you need to know. Unless you'd like to believe there is love where there isn't. Or, percieve somebody as "a brother" who perceives you as "an animal". So respect it for what it is and "keep it pushing".
Thank you for this ❤
@danettechavis *Correction*
You weren't a female emcee.... you were/are an emcee!! 🫡
@@GunsAndGloves Yeah, today I would be that - but not back then! It was crystal clear it was "a man thing" and a female had to fight like hell just to "get the mic" - particularly if they didn't know you and that wasn't your hood. Fortunately, I had a best friend who would go with me to parks & clubs where they were playing music and she would tell the DJ, "yo, give my gurl the mic - she nice!"...lol!! I was shy but she was relentless and once I got on the mic - it was OVER!!! I didn't have no more problems getting it after that. We got in many party's "free" traveling with the DJ & Crew. R.I.P Claudette Evans (who to me was the first "hype man" who was a female cause that's what she was for me! )
Fat Joe's "Monky" comment needs to go viral on all social media platforms regarding anything dealing with Hip Hop culture.

Hiphop started in the late 60's by the black youth in New York City primarily in the 5 boroughs. This was a new genre created to voice the ghetto struggle in urban America. Some notable contributors of the genre include DJ flowers, Kool Herc, and Africa Bam. However, there are many others who created this art-form.

I always felt it was something off about sloppy Joe. The truth is slowly being revealed about that dude daily.
Don't forget James Brown and the Chitlins Cirut they been Rappen Talking before the creation of HIP HOP.
Rahiem not capping! Cuban link and Toon from the Original TS spoke on that mic check show contest thing. This interview is full of gems!
Powerful interview. Great breakdown. This was a fire show content wise. However, I got to say this out of love, we've all become accustomed to a certain quality when it comes to audio, and it was very difficult hearing his audio compared to yours that was crispy and clean, he needed a better mic. He needed a better mic sound. Hopefully he will do actual sit Downs and share his story where he already got a mic and the quality is good, but other than that powerful show 💪🏽
In June 1978 at the Savoy Manor in the Bx. me and my E. Harlem family the Johnson and Taft houses went to the party at the Savoy and our 1st live witnessing of what would later be hip-hop got to see DJ Hollywood rock the mic and turntables for dolo. Puerto Ricans from our hood didn't go and were not there. Their parents didn't listen to the Otis Redding or Ray Charles or Aretha Franklin like our parents did as we grew up on the 60s.
The founders of Hip hop are not given the flowers that they deserve and it’s a slap in their face how these people are trying to rewrite history
After hearing this , I've lost respect for KRS ONE.
Been lost respect for him he has spit lie after lie and instead of just correcting he doubled down on these lies the culture is the people nobody ever Ed influenced or wanted to be like a PR or Jamaican ever not even today I don’t know why people keep trying to put PR as Black people when the majority of their blood is from Spain I’d bet my last dollar of fat Joe or any PR show their ID 🪪 it would say they are white and as far as Jamaicans they have always dressed sort of bummy they never had no style you can’t point to anything in hip hop that comes from either
Hey Raheim. Love You Brother. I'm 66 years old and remember during the inception as a 11yr old, Mean Gene, Grand Wizard Theodore was spining on the turntsbles from the electricity off the street lights. 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
I am from the Bronx and I approve this message. Fat Joe knows better and I do not understand why he would said that! What he said was DISRESPECTFUL and the fact that he wants to act like Blacks did not start Rap and the Culture is ridiculous!! Rahiem is correct the Puerto Ricans other Latin communities and Caribbean communities did their own thing. They also hung out with the Blacks when we did our things. What hurts the most is in the Bronx we consider everyone as family and we all looked out for each other. I do not know where all this segregation , taking over the Black culture and acting like we (Blacks) don't exist comes from. We were in the trenches together. Now it is okay to act like Blacks didn't create anything especially Hip Hop. Anyone that is from my area know about the Block Parties and rap battles. I hope every Elder Hip Hop person tells the truth. Fat Joe knew this new generation will fall for anything. Why does everyone take from us (Blacks) and act like we didn't create anything? I am so happy Rahiem is telling the truth!!!!
I really enjoyed your interview with Rahiem from the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. I found out a whole lot things that I wouldn't have known about if I had not seen this interview.
