Cuz if you know then you know.... DJs back then didn't touch the vinyl they needle dropped. Mario was definitely a hip hop and disco DJ
Dope. I wish there were some more of those older guys that partied at the Plaza Disco who call talk about Dj John Brown. That's who Herc said he got his playlist from and where he first saw bboys at in 1970/1971.
That's a missing piece of the puzzle, Herc's interview with Davey D when he admitted there was no Jamaican influence on hiphop, Dj Smokey and the Smokeatrons, Dj Mario, Coke LA Rock stating there was no Jamaican influence when he started, and other details that are not well known.
@@intelligencehaswon5714 agreed but you know the winners tell the story and media propped Bam Herc and Flash as the pillars. And the artist suppprt that story. Which sucks for everyone else.
@Michael Waynetv i thought Sunshine said the term bboy came from Bronxdale? then we learn herc would come to bronxdale. looks like herc took the name from there, and brought it back to the westside.
@@fastpaced4861 There are not BBoys you see BBoys With Boots?? Spade Dance was Fight Moves and Stompin on the floor when this was the first BBoy Mooves i dont know😉🙄
@@nourdinh.1450I think this whole argument is that basically bboying evolved from the Spades culture. I remember in Bronxdale some people used to be blaring some strange funky music that they wasn't playing on the radio, and this was back in 71, 72. I think the song Scorpio was continental hit record but in the Soundview area the song played 24/7, figuratively and literally speaking!!! I don't know for sure if Herc was part of a gang but the Spades seemed to have sh** on lock! So I'm sure if Herc might have had any beef on his side usually they would ally with the Spades to quell any beef and in order for that to happen Herc would have had to come to Soundview for a sit down or pow wow.
See my brother was dj kojak you see his name on Kool herc flyers he was with the black Spades with the original Bam in grant PJ not afrika bambatta but no one said break dance starts in 1520 because I saw b boys in cedar Park we was living in River Park Towers
Hip Hop comes before Disco (the genre) is the information that I’ve come across. I believe it. Hip Hop is a culture not a style of music that is what people fail to realize!

My aunt Diane lived in River park tower's in the 70's,it was pretty calm on that side & RPT was pretty ritzy for that era.... Hip hop started in Soundview! Point blank period. #blackspades #bronxdaleprojects
All I know is as far back as 71, 72 I remember the proto b boys that loved break beat music like the song Scorpio and James Brown joints that they didn't play on the radio, that was the Soundview area, I don't know if that was the thing anywhere else.
I grew up in 1600 Sedgwick Ave., and lived on the third floor facing the park. I saw the first black Carti by Kool Herc, who played skin tight by the Ohio players as his first record. He played many songs in different genre, like R&B, the hustle, music, skating, music and bus stop music music that we called the slide now. One of my friends, Jeffrey Wyatt called me out the window and said Akbar come down, there’s a block party I said a block party what’s a block party?
I can always rely on Monk and Cholly to break shit down and shoot straight! Glad they paying homage to Bronxdale where Bam and Herk would come to see King Mario DJ.
Grandmaster Flowers, in 1969 came to the Bronx, mixing with 2 turntables at the old Yankee Stadium, with James Brown, and it wasn t disco music. They trying to attach disco to Mario and Grandmaster Flowers is to take them out of history. The "Creation" of the first element of Hip Hop, "Mixing". Instead of mixing color as justification, moving the goalpost to 1975, joining in other elements, when they come into it etc is just a distortion, of the Truth. When we learn that invasion, infiltration, and integration, is how we lose our culture, over and over again, we will stop repeating our history and our participating in it. This stealing, taking over, is redundant in all our music, rock n roll, jazz, and even now gospel,. Josh White never got credit for "folk music "that's never attributed to us. No one lets us get into salsa, or any other music, that is culturally based, telling the whole truth, in relation to our People, and over a place, they cannot compete with.
Problem is Latinos and other Caribbean people don’t rep black when it comes to social issues. But want to claim the culture you can’t come to America and take the good with our the bad in my opinion.
You need to tell everyone about this lies I am telling everyone about this lies. Tell your family young kids. If you are on the radio, TV, internet. We have to spread the truth that African Americans Invented Hip hop. Spread the word everywhere.
An important piece that is missing in all of this debate is not just about the breaks and mixing da da da but what music? What music was being played at the jams because the music and culture go together especially fifty years ago. Were they spinning Think, Doin it To Death, Express yourself, Future Shock? If you have any vinyl from 1972-73 and you're saying you're FBA, DJ's, or Dancers, then you know these cuts, no need to mention the artist.
Burning. That was a old term, for battling. Coke, Sasa and few others say how they dance with and against " women " that's the key that's left out. " women " 🤦🏽
Dr. Imani Perry, just published a very interesting article entitled, The Country Idiom of Hip Hop. It’s a very good read and in my opinion, she does an excellent job outlining very clearly the origins & roots of Hip Hop culture in a chronologically sensible manner. I think we have to consider her work and research on the topic when we engage in debates as to the origins and evolution of and contributions to Hip Hop culture. While this specific video doesn’t necessarily speak on this, I know there are others that do.
Jeffy Wyatt introduced me to breakdancing and that was it from there. I broke dance with Mark DEAN, who is the sibling of the Ruff Ryders CEO’s. that lived directly above Kool Herc in 1520 Sedwick Ave.

If da spades was so savage and breaking things and people up who was coming to these party's of da spades and how was it spreading around if nobody could come to these party's ???
ITs what started the energy and element that surrounded the parties .GANGS ARE AN ELEMENT .excluded in the making of what is today Hip Hop HERC took it too another level for guys like me to have access to the music ...you stilll got robbed at Herc party too ..that was part of the scene n life .

ruclips.net/video/hjw_-q8YfmI/видео.html I like watching clips like these to imagine what the youth gangs and kids involved with NYC street culture and early Hip-Hop were kinda like. Maybe there's archival footage somewhere of Hip-Hop in the early to mid '70s. We got audio tapes from the '70s, but all the early video footage of Hip-Hop culture seems to only be from the '80s. Would love to see more flashbacks to this era.
Brother monk is not lying but the Sedgwick Ave concourse side start later 75 76 when we came up under them the spade's was every we're and Bronx Dale was the place to be early 70 71 72 73 I was like 11-12. then we came up.

So everybody wanna take credit for creating hip hop. The Jamaicans the Puerto Ricans the italians the black spades the savage nomads come on wtf gimme a break 😂
Naw 🖕Brooklyn hiphop started in the Bronx everybody knows that hate all you want and queens is soft krs-1 single handedly shut down queens in the 80s 😄
Cholly Rock never insinuated that Mario was a Disco DJ. Look at his earlier interviews. He always gave Mario credit as being a hip hop pioneer. Mario played disco music but he played breaks too
they mad cause there not a part of the beginning of hip hop gangs and security hell no no its the djs like flash and zulu nation people and the rappers
During the early stages of hiphop, Puerto Ricans considered it “jungle music” and something that the blacks did. Most Jamaicans came abroad dressed like a white western film with John Wayne. Hiphop is the child of the soul music of the 60’s, in particular james brown…. Who was a African AMERICAN with bloodline ties to these plantations on these lands. The Jamaican influence on hiphop came in the early 70’s and then the Ricans joined in.. these are facts, don’t get butt hurt
Sedgwick Ave is a myth. South Bronx didn’t know it existed. Of course nobody came to spade parties. Pearl parties, skull, parties, nomad parties either. There was only one or 2 places that All Gangs could party together. The Shaft (so dope) was one of them. Ok, Hip hop (which it was later called) starts with the culture NOT THE MUSIC! What came outta the culture gave birth to hip hop. Graffiti, gangs, dancing, fighting, all that. In the Bronx “the culture” spread rapidly. If you wanna know where hip hop started all you gotta ask is where did early 70s black gang culture start. Damn sure wasn’t soundview. Bronx river, none of that. No offense but East bronx ngas was cornballs in the very beginning. They got they’re swag from us. South Bronx ngas. But I all happened so spontaneously that history is kinda cloudy. Anybody talking bout 74’, 77’ don’t need to be in this conversation. I remember when the spades first started. I remember Bam getting off the 35 bus at prospect Ave with about 5/6 spades. Them ngs walked softly until they saw me and other south Bronx ngas they knew. Then it was all love. Who started hip hop? Depends on what you mean by hip hop. Rappin? Break dancing? Hip hop started a lil before that. But the origin was South Bronx! East Bronx is where you went to visit your grandmother.
@MICHEALWAYNETV @KOOLDJPHASE Just saw Flash on a interview where he revealed he was apart of the foster system.

Hes listed as American not from Barbados? Flash as both NYC and Barbados as the Place he was born.
Mario gave us nothing but good times and paved the way for so many black people to use an artform, he wanted everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves, who do you know that would put all those ass kicker speakers and equipment in their apartment to give music to people for free! Never say anything about that man that you don't know of in front of someone who does because his spirit lives in each and everyone of us who was lucky enough to be blessed by his presence alone!!
I agree. Mario always had a smile on his face, and was very personable & approachable. Many people of Soundview got to enjoy his park jams for free!
Kool Herc played basketball with Coke la Rock at places like the PAL club and the 9 169st Claremont ave
