in 1973 KOOL HERC was still begging his father for father for $2 to buy records....he was a broke ass kid from the projects....john jelly benitez from burnside was spinning in clubs....that is why he went on to produce MADONNA records in the '80s while kool herc was throwing $2 dances at the projects.....in 1973 we were dancing in st mary's park where rubber band (THE BEST BREAK DANCER IN THE BRONX) got killed in 1974 or 1975....I hear KOOL HERC also says he is an EX VANDAL, too...the membership of the EX VANDALS is well documented; KOOL HERC doesn't appear anywhere.

Those early hip-hop sounds are just astounding to me. They're much more melodic than the majority of what came later. Also, it seems more about just having fun and losing yourself in the music than striking a tough guy/outlaw pose.
For all those trying to give the Caribbean the credit of starting hip hoop, Have you ever noticed that most hip hop hit records sample from even greater R&B and Funk hits that came before. Those artists and Herc did not re-invent the wheel.
@Wonton Kasmir Mr. Clueless Triggered tether. Black American FBAs created R&B and Funk too. We created ALL of the modern Music forms in the U.S. Hip Hop is just an evolution of what was spawned over 100yrs before. This is a historical fact, Fool. Google is free.
This is from a 1999 3 part documentary about the history of hip hop shown on Channel 4 in the UK. Still probably my favourite documentary I've watched on hip hop. It covers the birth of the culture in the 70's, through the 80's, 90's, gangsta rap, the Tupac and Big murders, then ends at the turn of the millenium when hip hop had started to become big business.

North American culture, including north American black culture, has always been mass-communicated to the rest of the world. The prosperity of the USA, just helped it take a technological leap forward before many countries in the 20th century. So, those of us who are black but not from the USA, have not necessarily seen our complete story portrayed in mass media. We have often had to learn about "blackness" by consuming north American black culture, whether it be in song, movie, play documentary, etc. I haven't been anywhere on this planet, where people don't like Motown. And, it's why my Jamaican parent's record box was full of black RnB and soul music. It was also full of American country and western music. We knew the Rock Steady covers of north American black soul classics, and we also understood how the slight change in swing towards our own timing could change a soul classic to rocksteady gold. If folks know proper sound system history, then they know not to say Jamaicans created Hip-Hop.
Radio jock Hank Spann only Talk in certain rhyme feel, but the recording "Here came the Judge" by Pigmeat Markham (1968) is a serious serious Rap example before Bronx movement (honorable mention to "The Preacher and The Bear" by The Jubilaires in the 40's).
I dont think there was a definitive time. It evolved slowly. It didnt appear all of a sudden. It would have been gradual. Bboy moves became gradual. Just people adding on to the dance slowly.
but the Pioneers of Hip Hop was. jamaican guy, A jamaican guy who was influenced by African Amerian... HIPHOP WAS BREAK DANCING TO BREAK DOWNS IN THE RECORD!!!!!!!.."...Jamaica gained independence from British colonial rule in 1962. Around that time, music was disseminated in Jamaica largely by way of "sound systems": massive sets of amplifiers and speakers that were moved from town to town to entertain dancers at outdoor parties. Records were played by the sound system's "selector[DJ]," who chose the songs and announced them over his microphone. Sometime around 1956, a few selectors began experimenting with talking over their records, rather than simply between them-incorporating the jive slang of Black Americans with patois, a distinctive West Indian dialect of English. This "chatting" or "toasting" was a hit with audiences and other selectors began to follow suit. The selector/DJ[toaster/MC]/sound system arrangement was an integral component in the development of Jamaican music through the twentieth century, as it evolved from its African roots and native Calypso folk sounds such as mento, to rocksteady and ska in the 1950s and 60s, and on to reggae, a genre that was exported to the world with great success beginning in the 1970s. IT IS ALSO THE PRIMARY ANCESTOR OF THE HUGELY SUCCESSFUL GENRE OF BLACK AMERICAN MUSIC ALTERNATELY KNOWN AS RAP OR HIP HOP. The sound system concept was brought to the United States by Clive Campbell, better known as Kool Herc, a Jamaican-born selector whose thunderous Herculoids sound system rocked South Bronx clubs and parties in the early- to mid-70s." 👉🏿DIGITAL SAMPLING: A CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE👈🏿 by Henry Self
Cool Herc didn’t bring any Jamaican influence, he assimilated into African American Culture. The Jamaican sounds system was copied from African Americans

We knew the Rock Steady covers of north American black soul classics, and we also understood how the slight change in swing towards our own timing could change a soul classic to rocksteady gold. If folks know proper sound system history, then they know not to say Jamaicans created Hip-Hop.
Thank you
Love this definitely fresh and fly WORD 😎
Iv been there Sedgwick Ave... thanks Hush Tours :)
They need to make a movie on OG kool herc
Kool Herc and Africa Prostaata are legends!
That's the Groove, Baybee !!

Baby Huey "The Mexican" - was I the only one who had a mildhearted laugh about the father of hiphop getting his breaks mixed up? :)
Well Herc can get away with that slip. He's Herc nuff said.
He calls the record, "baby huey," because how heavy it comes on the dance floor.
I caught that too..
If Cool Herc say it’s so damn it’s so
i thought that, theni figured there was a comma inbetween teh two...
Kool Herc should be a multi-billionaire
Remember this ch4 doc many years ago have it on VHS somewhere 👍 brilliant 👊

1972 hip hop raps birth the merry go round 1972.
Mark Raza not true Dj hollywood , hank spine and KC aka prince pf soul started it
Radio jock Hank Spann only Talk in certain rhyme feel, but the recording "Here came the Judge" by Pigmeat Markham (1968) is a serious serious Rap example before Bronx movement (honorable mention to "The Preacher and The Bear" by The Jubilaires in the 40's).

I still wish the very first hip hop party was recorded, then we would really know when hip hop was really born.
lol why are you all styled like how we grew up
@@hjillumi880 what are you even saying bro ?
I dont think there was a definitive time. It evolved slowly. It didnt appear all of a sudden. It would have been gradual. Bboy moves became gradual. Just people adding on to the dance slowly.
So so so cool hearing about the Birth of DJing from Herc and Flash :)
Amazing
thx kool for all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HERO DJ KOOL MEL TILLIS
RESPECT
but the Pioneers of Hip Hop was. jamaican guy, A jamaican guy who was influenced by African Amerian... HIPHOP WAS BREAK DANCING TO BREAK DOWNS IN THE RECORD!!!!!!!.."...Jamaica gained independence from British colonial rule in 1962. Around that time, music was disseminated in Jamaica largely by way of "sound systems": massive
sets of amplifiers and speakers that were moved from town to town to entertain dancers at outdoor parties.
Records were played by the sound system's "selector[DJ]," who chose the songs and announced them over his microphone.
Sometime around 1956, a few selectors began experimenting with talking over their records, rather than simply between them-incorporating the jive slang of Black Americans with patois, a distinctive West Indian
dialect of English. This "chatting" or "toasting" was a hit with audiences and other selectors began to follow suit.
The selector/DJ[toaster/MC]/sound system arrangement was an integral component in the development of Jamaican music through the twentieth century, as it evolved from its African roots and native Calypso folk
sounds such as mento, to rocksteady and ska in the 1950s and 60s, and
on to reggae, a genre that was exported to the world with great success
beginning in the 1970s. IT IS ALSO THE PRIMARY ANCESTOR OF THE HUGELY SUCCESSFUL GENRE OF BLACK AMERICAN MUSIC ALTERNATELY KNOWN AS RAP OR HIP HOP.
The sound system concept was brought to the United States by
Clive Campbell, better known as Kool Herc, a Jamaican-born selector
whose thunderous Herculoids sound system rocked South Bronx clubs
and parties in the early- to mid-70s."

by Henry Self
Cool Herc didn’t bring any Jamaican influence, he assimilated into African American Culture.
The Jamaican sounds system was copied from African Americans
They dumb mad lol.
This is Lies lol Kool Herc came to America at 12 years old and copied Black American Culture 🤣
@@AJ-pc5ln Stay mad Herc is the proclaimed godfather of hip hop and not no washed up disco duck lol
