Years ago I’ve read about Mario being PR. So I got trapped as well. And it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America. Make it make sense… 😅
@skydaddy137... BINGO... SAY IT AGAIN .. it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America....AGAIN... it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America....WORD!!
WTF is an "Afro Latino"? Is that some new, "woke" BULLSHIT, like "Latinx"? The WHOLE concept of classifying Latinos, by skin color, is an black American concept, that y'all been used to, since it was you guys, that dealt with segregation, Jim Crow, etc Our countries didn't have that shit. It actually took an "Afro" Puerto Rican, to teach you about Black CULTURE! Y'all didn't even have a concept of that, BEFORE Arturo Schomburg, put that into perspective. Go to the Schomburg Center, in Harlem. You might learn something.
It was all good when they thought that he was Rican. They were ready to crown him as the original King of HipHop. Don't try and backtrack now.😂😂😂😂 Much love you to , Phase, and Big Shout-out to Disco King Mario family for setting the record straight. They were trying to desperately strip the Black American family of history and culture.
My mother 100% black American from South Carolina and my father is 100% black American from ny and my birth name is Guiseppe and I'm 100% African American from ny people need to stop getting shit fucked up and stick to the facts period
Everyone thought that the Leutanant Governor of NY Mr . Delgado was Puerto Rican, but in fact his dad is from Cabo Verde Islands West Africa, which is an old Portuguese /Spanish territory.
For the record and for all you "Fulfilled by Amazon" peoples. The first DJ to bring Hip Hop to the NYC masses in the early 80's was "Mr. Magic" aka "John Rivas" a Puerto Rican!

Mario's family said he is Not Puerto Rican. Period. Those Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans know that Mario is FBA but insist on telling lies. They know that FBA culture and experiences laid the foundation and creation of Hip Hop which influences the entire world and they can't handle that truth. They are exhibiting the behavior of people who are very insecure and jealous of our accomplishments. We have to continue to shut them down with their blatent lies and disrespect and stop welcoming them into our spaces.
Funny you don’t see any Ricans waving the flag at this event and available to tell Mario’s family that they are half Rican. The clowns 🤡 on the internet seem to know more about his family than the man’s daughter.
The truth of the matter is that "Disco King Mario" loved Puerto Ricans something fierce and quite frankly wanted to be Puerto Rican. Ask the real veterans of The Bronx. They will vouch for this!

@@RandomFlavor the elements are from one culture. Others contributed and added to it. And to say that means you think your superior is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. If Hispanics say they created meringue who am I to accuse them of thinking they are superior for saying that.
Modern day Puerto Ricans aren’t even the creators of their own genres. Everything they got comes from dark skinned African enslaved and/or dark skinned tiano.
Even if he was half Puerto Rican and HE WAS NOT...but if he was, so what? It wouldn't mean Hip Hop is half Puerto Rican. If he were half white it wouldn't mean Hip Hop is half white, British, etc.either. Everything he did was undeniably Black American; from the turn tables to the block parties, to the music he played right down to the sound system.There is absolutely NO Puerto Rican or Jamaican influence in the foundation of our music and they know this. The level of desperation of the Latinos and Jamaicans claiming FBA culture is pathetic at this point.

@@chrisconnors9449 Puerto Ricans are "Emigrants," and are more an American foundation than what you guys claim as FBA.There were Puerto Ricans fighting in the "American Revolutionary" war when Blacks were just commodities being traded like bananas & tea!
You can say the same thing about Euro-American culture. America is the cultural hegemon, so whatever is created here from porn, to Jerry Springer, to Hollywood movies makes a big splash worldwide. If Brazil was the hegemon, then samba, Axe music, and capoeira would be dominant. Before the ascendency of rock and roll, Cuban rumba, cha cha, and mambo were massive worldwide, and these rhythms influenced jazz (go look up Machito, Chano Pozo & Dizzy, and the jazz cats that learned to play Afro Cuban polyrhythms), R&B (Mowtown added congas. Every time that you hear congas and bongos in black music, credit the Cubans and Puerto Ricans who brought it to NY. In fact, Puerto Rican music changed the drumming of African American music back in the 1930s) and the mixture in NY led to a more polyrhythmic kind of funk, go-go in DC (Chuch Brown was in a Latin band), and disco. African pop from the Congo to Senegal drew heavily from Afro Cuban music. Calypso was big in Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and played a major role in the modernization of highlife music. Dominican merengue influenced Haitian konpa direk, but the merengue most likely originated from the Haitian meringue. The Jamaicans always give credit to the r&b singers who influenced rock steady and reggae, specifically those from New Orleans. However, New Orleans' culture is heavily influenced by the culture of Haiti and Cuba. It's only the so-called FBA people that have issues with the cultural sharing that has been occurring with Afro-descendants throughout the Americas since the days of slavery. Finally, the roots of hip-hop lie in Jamaican DJ and dub music. It's easy to document, so stop trying to erase the history. We have our drums and hundreds of traditional rhythms in the Caribbean and Latin America, so we don't need to steal anyone's culture. Give credit!
Some quotes from Maurice White about his band EW&F. They are taken from the 2016 bio “Maurice White - My Life With Earth, Wind & Fire.” These quotes illustrate how influential Afro-Cuban and other Afro-Latin rhythms were in the creation of the bands’ sound. It’s also an example of the cross-pollination between the music of the Americas (African/black) that started with the introduction of the banjo from the Caribbean (by way of Africa), to Congo Square (A mostly Afro-Caribbean space in NO), and then to NY. White also said that EW&F had the best rhythm section (along with the Bar-kays because both bands were the most adept at playing Afro-Cuban music). Musicians aren’t into this FBA nonsense, they know where their influences come from. The roots are in Africa, but they stopped off in the Caribbean and were reintroduced here. Without the Caribbean influences, the music here is more European. “I reminded them of how vital s raw, animalistic, and tribal backbeat could be in moving an audience. Still, I had no desire to morph into a funk band. We were a world music band, full of rhythms from all over the world, especially Afro-Cuban.” Page 125 “Our contemporaries - bands like the Ohio Players, Mandrill, War, Kool & The Gang, Cameo, the Commodores, Con Funk Shun, and Parliament-Funkadelic- didn’t carry our cachet, which was partly musical and partly about business. The Isley brothers made great albums, and they did it without horns, which was notable in that era. Song after song, they created classics, but their live show was boring. Mandrill, possibly the most unsung band of the early 1970s, had an Afro-Cuban vibe that was undeniable. Unfortunately, they just couldn’t score the big hit that could have kept them moving higher.” Page 211 “I had always loved Latin music, from those days down in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood, but the deeper rhythms and the Afro-Cuban influence opened me up. This wasn’t Sergio Mendes and Brazil ’66. This was a tribal, earthy, barefoot-in-the-dirt experience. Brazil’s music contained a heavy emphasis on drumming. I discovered there were these little drum schools all over Brazil. I visited three of them and roamed around those rooms like I was a hall monitor in junior high. The talented young musicians had amazing flavor: I soaked it all up. I hadn’t felt that way since I was a kid back in Memphis with Booker T. and Richard Shann, listening to the new jazz records of Monk and Coltrane.” Page 222 Music critics “talked about EW&F only in terms of funk because they could not grasp the internal complexities of our Afro-Cuban, jazz, gospel, pop, Latin, and R&B influences.” page 249` “The people of Brazil loved us, and we loved them. I believe they embraced Earth, Wind & Fre on some primal musical level, because there’s so much of a Latin feel in all of our music.” page 280

I got at least 5 friends an cousins name Mario full black American. Hip hop evolved from other black American music by black Americans. Believe you me Puerto Ricans wasn’t leaving that island running to the real south in the late 18 early 19 hundreds. His brother first cousin an niece nephew said they black Americans ain’t know Puerto Rico in them. That lady need to keep focusing on staying clean. An dude should make a public apology for going on Nori podcast an telling a bold face lie.
*Even if Mario was half boriqua (which he ain't), the obvious fact still remains that his Black American side influenced what he did for hip hop...you don't hear anything "Spanish influenced" in the creation of hip hop in the early 1970s....*
The people making that claim don't represent us. Boriquas from the BX know Hip Hop was started by FBA and we added our flavor along the way because we grew up in the same hoods.
@randee4550 Peace Akhi Fam. They sparked it but Herc and Bam brought everyone together. We all know Hip Hop began with the DJ at the forefront and all the original BBoys(Trixie, Twinz and Sasa - All FBA) said it was Herc. Cholly Rock spoke about it and even the dude that runs the channel formerly MichaelWayneTV said Herc catered to the BBOYS while DKM catered to his hood and gangsters. None of this is my words or opinions. Just repeating the facts from the original OGs. What's so difficult about paying homage? ⚫️ Americans are our bredren. By the way, I was born in the BX. My family is 100% Boriqua from Aguadilla and Cabo Rojo. They moved to Fox & Tiffany St., then to Soundview and Beach Ave, and the rest to the Valley which is a heavy Caribbean neighborhood. I'm not some outsider. My family bounced from Soundview once Sex Money Murder and other lowlifes started turning it to shit.
@@badapplenyc I hear that. But who exactly is *they*? Because you're implying Hip-Hop, was already happening, prior to the era of Herc, Bam, and Flash. Once that's implied, it becomes a fallacy. The reason why it's fallacious, is because for Hip-Hop to exist, it must be done by a Hip-Hop CREW, and specifically, for a Hip-Hop crowd. You can't have Hip-Hop, without Hip-Hop. In order for something to even be considered Hip-Hop, two (or more) of the CULTURAL components of Hip-Hop, must be happening simultaneously. In other words, of somebody did a block party, and was "Black", that doesn't magically create a realm, for this person to be "Hip-Hop". This is where Flash, Bam, Herc, L-Brothers, Chase, Jazzy Jay, etc, separate themselves from DJ Flowers, The Disco Twins, etc. What makes one "Hip-Hop" is SKILL, and not being country, southern, from the Carolinas, from Bronxdale, from a particular gang, etc. All that is irrelevant. What made you a Hip-Hop DJ, was your skill level, and representation, in the CULTURE. All the others goofy shit, is of no relevance.
😂 this Latin woman on here just making up stuff.. turning black Americans into immigrants. Talking about some receipts.. how you have receipts that’s not coming from none of Mario’s actual family members?
I'm from North Carolina and I'm happy these rumors are being dispelled. You have been doing great work my brother. I put my pops on your videos with Big Mike and the OG Spades, DJ Phase, Green-Eyed Genie and the rest!! Salute to Bronxdale!!!
I told @BoricuaNyc aka "LOVE" that, that wasn't true because I saw Mario's genealogy going back into the early 1800s which I stumbled on by accident because some of his ancestors are connected to some of my ancestors down in the Carolinas and they were all FBA.

Now, Jose Cruz, Houston Astros great of the 80’s, is a real Borikén or Taino Indian mongol. They call everybody from PR Boricua or Taino. The average Puerto Rican have the features of the actress Adamari López, Jennifer López, and Fat Joe but would call themselves Boricua or Taino because they are ashamed to be the offspring of their Spanish fathers.
That's so true. Funny thing is I use to see those type of Spaniard looking Puerto Ricans mock and belittle those Indigenous features on other Hispanics for actually having those indigenous features. But then these Ricans wanna claim also Tainos. Looking like the dam king of Spain themselves.

@@Dominican1923 Afro Latino is a recently coined phrase. Although they are not black, there are some melanated Puerto Ricans. The term "black" is used to refer especially to black Americans in the United States. Many classifications of our ancestors have been made.

Crazy timing because I went to one of her videos yesterday and gave her the proof. I chatted with Kala a few days ago and he cleared it all up. I let her know the truth.
When the person they bring up up is half Black American and half Puerto Rican, e.g. Tex D.J. Hollywood, Nore, Lloyd Banks, Ruby Dee (if I'm not mistaken), their argument is "they were Puerto Rican". They totally erase their American Blackness, to emphasize their half Puerto Rican heritage. Even Nore does that little sucka shit. Calls himself Puerto Rican, like that's the only component that makes him himself. If you listen to him on his show interviewing Fab, He doesn't just tell fab to maybe embrace his Dominican 'side', he was frankly telling him to throw the Black part away. On the other hand, when the person in question fully Black American, they make up some lie about them having partial if not half Puerto Rican ancestry. This lie here is particularly egregious because there's not only no proof at all in favor of it, and all of family and friends testifying, proving the opposite. And certain mentally ill habitual liars will STILL push keep the bullshit going in the face of being proven wrong time and time again. We're dealing with people (and not all off them) who come from a mindset of eatin' off another nation for their cultural relevance in this country. That's just the long and short of it. It's far from just them, it's the entire diaspora, and damn near every nation that wants to be like the Black American. So they will lie, cheat, steal or whatever they can to attach themselves to our culture and legacy on this soil. Look at how BET just honored the biggest lying 🤡 s in hip-hop after they made it their careers to remove Black Americans from their own culture over the past few years. It's as if they were being rewarded for doing so. No other people has dealt with the level of insidious inner workings and tactics used against them to keep them down, as was and still are being used against the American negro. Now imagine if this was the early 90s and say hip-hop was created in the 40s. There was no FiOS at that time, and there were no cellphones with the ability to text and search information that you would normally get in the encyclopedia at lightning speeds. They would've been able to pull the wool over our eyes. But nope, this is now, and all vultures are getting called out and exposed.
Facts i agree with everything you said. This lie was started in the 90s by bambaataa. This is why its taken this long to correct was no social media back then. Im sure people were being blocked and blackballed for trying to speak the truth

Puerto Ricans had to learn or be taught Hip Hop by coming outside their homes and communities. The one thing that Latinos can never claim is that they had Hop within their homes and communities. Blacks had Hip Hop within their homes and communities because the Culture was passed down from their parents and grandparents house parties and family gatherings. Many of the early pioneer DJs were the kids that played records for their parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents gatherings. Actually, the brothers and sisters in the 1940s and 50s were the forebearers of Hip Hop Culture. They just didn't call it by that name. Those Latinos that are trying to claim Hip Hop as part of their culture are mistaken and only show their true intent which is to corrupt and co-opt just like their Spanish colonizers.
There we go with the "Spanish Colonizer" psycho-babble. You sound worse than a White conspiracy theorist. New York City Puerto Ricans did not have to be taught a thing. Puerto Ricans were dynamically involved in an evolutionary stage as active contributors. You must understand Grasshopper, that New York City Puerto Ricans are forever "Down by Law!" Blacks of NYC in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's were cohabitating with Puerto Ricans en masse, and were influenced by Puerto Rican culture very heavily. The problem here is that sadly most Blacks outside of NYC are bigots and misinformed. They just cannot fathom that a people from such a small island in the Caribbean could have helped to create a worldwide musical phenomena. That goes to show you how they think they are superior to people who they feel are intellectually, and culturally inferior. You will learn that Puerto Ricans are not "Mexicans." We are a different beast, and you will accept these facts whether you have to see a psychiatrist or not!

By the way, I remember Crazy Legs trying to say Grandmixer DXT was also Puerto Rican lol. This was last summer when the whole Fat Joe 50/50 thing blew up
@@melanatedwarrior3530 I don't recall DXT ever saying that; in fact, DXT always says that HipHop came from "Black American Soul/Funk" culture and never once heard him mention anything in regards to his (if what Colon is saying is true) "Latin" culture.
I met Disco king Mario in back around 1980-81. His father was the super for the buildings 2755 - 2769 Sedgwick Avenue. I lived in 2763. I remember Mario, and his brothers W.C, Snag, and Tracy. Mario use to give parties in my basement, and Grand Wizard Theodore was the DJ. I remember asking where they were from and Snag told me N.C. I was too young to go to the parties, but my bedroom window was overlooking the basement, and I would hear Mario on the mic, yelling "JUICE - JUICE - JUICE JUICE JUICE - JUICE. Anybody that was there knows, and anyone who doesn't know, wasn't there.
Because white ppl wanna takeover hip hop but through their Spanish descendants because they know they have no claim into creating it… I even believe that this is one of the reasons why they dumb down hip hop so it can be infiltrated by these immigrants we see in it today with this trashy music of today it’s not a coincidence
I’m Indian, got into hip hop around 81 82 as a bboy in Connecticut with my brother. Me and my brother heard the underground hip hop and electro hip hop on the local college radio station. They would play malcolm McLaren, space cowboy, play that beat, looking for the perfect beat, jam in it, rock it, kraftwerk . Like that era. Small town with a hip hop scene. Being Indian we really didn’t have any connection to hip hop other than the radio. My dad was a musician on Indian style drums at the local college. His music friends that were black were middle to upper class folks and played straight jazz only. We asked them about hip hop and they said it was awful music (they said it wasn’t real music). I think they thought that it would stray us away but it only made us search harder. So we connected with friends and peers in elementary school. That’s when we discovered hip hop culture which at that time seemed to only exist in the local housing projects. We were lucky to have found it because it was so obscure and it was definitely black street culture from what we saw here in CT. Man did we have fun. We used to go to Dj’s houses and watch ppl dj and rap from the am to the pm. The Parents would yell at us when it was too loud saying “turn it down …who are those little kids hanging out here listening to the devils music.” Lol. I think I don’t know for sure but all the other cultures were there learning and we were encouraged to find our own style) rather than copy. I wasn’t there during the Bronx era back in the beginning (wasn’t even born yet . There was no internet and it wasn’t until like 84 85 that I found out about the 70’s Bronx hip hop scene through the movie wild style and a local hip hop hero G-Slim and DJ Presto who told us about the mixtapes there uncles would bring back. It was awesome. I’ll never forget it. Thanks.
Iamhiphop974 and boricuanyc 😂😂😂😂😂 Just because Tariq Nasheed has a huge platform and he mentioned discokingmario being the father of hiphop, that made these people mad for some reason so they started to say no, he was rican.
Carmelo Anthony's mom is from S. Carolina too, & PRs are saying he's Boricua thru his Mom. But it's his dad who is PR 🙃....This wrong info is laughable. They keep attaching themselves onto Salsa, Freestyle, Hip Hop, & House, & any Black culture they can find...All of these forms of music were created or co-created(Salsa) by Black Americans. They have yet to create music, dance, food, or fashion that everybody is doing. They are only famous for light skin women wit 🍑.
Disco King Mario & my dad could have passed for identical twins, it’s breath taking how much they look alike. He would have been older than Mario by 6-7 years but it’s astounding! R.I.P Pops & Mario the true pioneer of Hip Hop 👑 💪🏿✊🏿
That woman is a liar! Disco King Mario was NOT half Puerto Rican! I have encountered many Black men with the name Mario, but they were not Latino. They were Black American.
Mario himself said he didnt like hip hop. He was a disco Dj that helped herc book shows and influenced Cool Herc. Influence isnt creation, that credit goes to cool Herc and he was crowned by the culture as the father of hip hop on hip hops buggest stage yet
Grateful for this channel for challenging the popular history and proving the real history of Hip Hop. I will never be silent when someone it talking the origins without including the Sotomayor Homes - Bronxdale - Rosedale Park area, DJ Dee and Mario. But, this channel doesn’t have me convinced that only black Americans created this. It’s not solely us and it doesn’t diminish us to acknowledge true history. Many hip hop pioneers had Caribbean roots but many didn’t. Truth works. Mario’s fam went from NC to NYC and he was Black American. Doug E Fresh (Barbadian) pioneered the beatbox. Bam and Herc (Jamaican), like Mario, were pioneering DJs. Some of the pioneering graf writers and bboys were Puerto Rican. Flash and Theodore pioneered scratching (Theodore is Black American and Flash is Jamaican. Some early graf writers were white too, Beside Charlie Chase, almost all the pioneering emcees were Black American.
Don't forget about KoolDjDee and TyroneTheMixologist, both were out there before hip hop and inspired most of the guys you named and both are Black American men from the south..Tyrone started the scratching 🤷🏽♂️
You are talking about their roots....not their culture. The adopted Black American Culture. It don't matter what their roots are. Literally nothing comes from latino or carribean culture .....nothing at all. To use their carribean roots....is just semantics and tethering
For most part African Americans did create it, I'd say at least 95 to 98 percent of it, which is as good as saying all of it, as it was wholly their music and their culture used to create it, so that makes perfect sense. Further to the point, the hip hop pioneers of Caribbean and Hispanic descent still adopted African American music and culture to do what they did, so even then their ethnicity does not figure too much as influence in what they did. Believe it or not, Flash is actually Bronx-born part Caribbean (but not Jamaican) and part direct West African from Africa itself (Sierra Leone).
@@hiphophistorian5476 I hear you. I think it’s a disingenuous point though. I think it’s an important that these kids were at home speaking Jamaican patois, Haitian Creole or Spanglish while code switching on the block. If Carlos Santana can credit his musical sound, as he says it, as “all African music,” I think okay to acknowledge the thing that made the Bronx unique from every other place in the country and, to some degree, different from other boroughs in NYC. In other words, even if these kids were code switching, they diversity of these neighborhoods made it possible too. It doesn’t disminish Black American impact but it does explain the what happened. It’s okay for us to say it. Chicago blues is a thing because black people migrated to Chi from Alabama and Mississippi. New Orleans jazz is a thing because the convergence of creole, French, and Black people. House is a thing because straight and gay Black people weren’t rocking in mainstream discos in the same. Love that we’re talking about it all and, again, salute to Mario, Dee, Bam and this incredible culture.
Years ago I’ve read about Mario being PR. So I got trapped as well. And it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America. Make it make sense… 😅

They trying to turn us into immigrants like them to steal our cultural creations
You can say the same thing about Euro-American culture. America is the cultural hegemon, so whatever is created here from porn, to Jerry Springer, to Hollywood movies makes a big splash worldwide. If Brazil was the hegemon, then samba, Axe music, and capoeira would be dominant. Before the ascendency of rock and roll, Cuban rumba, cha cha, and mambo were massive worldwide, and these rhythms influenced jazz (go look up Machito, Chano Pozo & Dizzy, and the jazz cats that learned to play Afro Cuban polyrhythms), R&B (Mowtown added congas. Every time that you hear congas and bongos in black music, credit the Cubans and Puerto Ricans who brought it to NY. In fact, Puerto Rican music changed the drumming of African American music back in the 1930s) and the mixture in NY led to a more polyrhythmic kind of funk, go-go in DC (Chuch Brown was in a Latin band), and disco. African pop from the Congo to Senegal drew heavily from Afro Cuban music. Calypso was big in Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and played a major role in the modernization of highlife music. Dominican merengue influenced Haitian konpa direk, but the merengue most likely originated from the Haitian meringue. The Jamaicans always give credit to the r&b singers who influenced rock steady and reggae, specifically those from New Orleans. However, New Orleans' culture is heavily influenced by the culture of Haiti and Cuba. It's only the so-called FBA people that have issues with the cultural sharing that has been occurring with Afro-descendants throughout the Americas since the days of slavery. Finally, the roots of hip-hop lie in Jamaican DJ and dub music. It's easy to document, so stop trying to erase the history. We have our drums and hundreds of traditional rhythms in the Caribbean and Latin America, so we don't need to steal anyone's culture. Give credit!
Some quotes from Maurice White about his band EW&F. They are taken from the 2016 bio “Maurice White - My Life With Earth, Wind & Fire.” These quotes illustrate how influential Afro-Cuban and other Afro-Latin rhythms were in the creation of the bands’ sound. It’s also an example of the cross-pollination between the music of the Americas (African/black) that started with the introduction of the banjo from the Caribbean (by way of Africa), to Congo Square (A mostly Afro-Caribbean space in NO), and then to NY. White also said that EW&F had the best rhythm section (along with the Bar-kays because both bands were the most adept at playing Afro-Cuban music). Musicians aren’t into this FBA nonsense, they know where their influences come from. The roots are in Africa, but they stopped off in the Caribbean and were reintroduced here. Without the Caribbean influences, the music here is more European.
“I reminded them of how vital s raw, animalistic, and tribal backbeat could be in moving an audience. Still, I had no desire to morph into a funk band. We were a world music band, full of rhythms from all over the world, especially Afro-Cuban.”
Page 125
“Our contemporaries - bands like the Ohio Players, Mandrill, War, Kool & The Gang, Cameo, the Commodores, Con Funk Shun, and Parliament-Funkadelic- didn’t carry our cachet, which was partly musical and partly about business. The Isley brothers made great albums, and they did it without horns, which was notable in that era. Song after song, they created classics, but their live show was boring. Mandrill, possibly the most unsung band of the early 1970s, had an Afro-Cuban vibe that was undeniable. Unfortunately, they just couldn’t score the big hit that could have kept them moving higher.”
Page 211
“I had always loved Latin music, from those days down in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood, but the deeper rhythms and the Afro-Cuban influence opened me up. This wasn’t Sergio Mendes and Brazil ’66. This was a tribal, earthy, barefoot-in-the-dirt experience. Brazil’s music contained a heavy emphasis on drumming. I discovered there were these little drum schools all over Brazil. I visited three of them and roamed around those rooms like I was a hall monitor in junior high. The talented young musicians had amazing flavor: I soaked it all up. I hadn’t felt that way since I was a kid back in Memphis with Booker T. and Richard Shann, listening to the new jazz records of Monk and Coltrane.”
Page 222
Music critics “talked about EW&F only in terms of funk because they could not grasp the internal complexities of our Afro-Cuban, jazz, gospel, pop, Latin, and R&B influences.”
page 249`
“The people of Brazil loved us, and we loved them. I believe they embraced Earth, Wind & Fre on some primal musical level, because there’s so much of a Latin feel in all of our music.”

Tex WAS NOT Marios, brother! Tex WAS Puerto Rican, not Mario. I remember when Mario came from Down South to live with his cousins the Ames Family
*Even if Mario was half boriqua (which he ain't), the obvious fact still remains that his Black American side influenced what he did for hip hop...you don't hear anything "Spanish influenced" in the creation of hip hop in the early 1970s....*
💯
Thank you Mr Wayne. Big up Knowledge is Power

@randee4550 Peace Akhi Fam. They sparked it but Herc and Bam brought everyone together. We all know Hip Hop began with the DJ at the forefront and all the original BBoys(Trixie, Twinz and Sasa - All FBA) said it was Herc. Cholly Rock spoke about it and even the dude that runs the channel formerly MichaelWayneTV said Herc catered to the BBOYS while DKM catered to his hood and gangsters. None of this is my words or opinions. Just repeating the facts from the original OGs. What's so difficult about paying homage? ⚫️ Americans are our bredren. By the way, I was born in the BX. My family is 100% Boriqua from Aguadilla and Cabo Rojo. They moved to Fox & Tiffany St., then to Soundview and Beach Ave, and the rest to the Valley which is a heavy Caribbean neighborhood. I'm not some outsider. My family bounced from Soundview once Sex Money Murder and other lowlifes started turning it to shit.
@@badapplenyc I hear that. But who exactly is *they*? Because you're implying Hip-Hop, was already happening, prior to the era of Herc, Bam, and Flash. Once that's implied, it becomes a fallacy. The reason why it's fallacious, is because for Hip-Hop to exist, it must be done by a Hip-Hop CREW, and specifically, for a Hip-Hop crowd. You can't have Hip-Hop, without Hip-Hop. In order for something to even be considered Hip-Hop, two (or more) of the CULTURAL components of Hip-Hop, must be happening simultaneously. In other words, of somebody did a block party, and was "Black", that doesn't magically create a realm, for this person to be "Hip-Hop".
This is where Flash, Bam, Herc, L-Brothers, Chase, Jazzy Jay, etc, separate themselves from DJ Flowers, The Disco Twins, etc.
What makes one "Hip-Hop" is SKILL, and not being country, southern, from the Carolinas, from Bronxdale, from a particular gang, etc. All that is irrelevant.
What made you a Hip-Hop DJ, was your skill level, and representation, in the CULTURE. All the others goofy shit, is of no relevance.

All the things they say they brought to the table black Americans were doing it all over the United States.

For the record and for all you "Fulfilled by Amazon" peoples. The first DJ to bring Hip Hop to the NYC masses in the early 80's was "Mr. Magic" aka "John Rivas" a Puerto Rican! If it were not for Mr. Magic, Hip Hop would have never went international! I think you really better recognize and do some due diligence!
That’s the reason why I don’t give them no more shine cause that’s what they want they really don’t have any proof they’re just talking the thing is the shit fat Joe down

The lady at the beginning of the video said the Roberto Clemente was Boricua/Borikén, clearly he’s not an Eurasian Indian but an Afro-Puerto Rican. Now, Jose Cruz, Houston Astros great of the 80’s, is a real Borikén or Taino Indian mongol. They call everybody from PR Boricua or Taino. The average Puerto Rican have the features of the actress Adamari López, Jennifer López, and Fat Joe but would call themselves Boricua or Taino because they are ashamed to be the offspring of their Spanish fathers.
That's so true. Funny thing is I use to see those type of Spaniard looking Puerto Ricans mock and belittle those Indigenous features on other Hispanics for actually having those indigenous features. But then these Ricans wanna claim also Tainos. Looking like the dam king of Spain themselves.

When the person they bring up up is half Black American and half Puerto Rican, e.g. Tex D.J. Hollywood, Nore, Lloyd Banks, Ruby Dee (if I'm not mistaken), their argument is "they were Puerto Rican". They totally erase their American Blackness, to emphasize their half Puerto Rican heritage. Even Nore does that little sucka shit. Calls himself Puerto Rican, like that's the only component that makes him himself. If you listen to him on his show interviewing Fab, He doesn't just tell fab to maybe embrace his Dominican 'side', he was frankly telling him to throw the Black part away. On the other hand, when the person in question fully Black American, they make up some lie about them having partial if not half Puerto Rican ancestry. This lie here is particularly egregious because there's not only no proof at all in favor of it, and all of family and friends testifying, proving the opposite. And certain mentally ill habitual liars will STILL push keep the bullshit going in the face of being proven wrong time and time again. We're dealing with people (and not all off them) who come from a mindset of eatin' off another nation for their cultural relevance in this country. That's just the long and short of it. It's far from just them, it's the entire diaspora, and damn near every nation that wants to be like the Black American. So they will lie, cheat, steal or whatever they can to attach themselves to our culture and legacy on this soil. Look at how BET just honored the biggest lying 🤡 s in hip-hop after they made it their careers to remove Black Americans from their own culture over the past few years. It's as if they were being rewarded for doing so. No other people has dealt with the level of insidious inner workings and tactics used against them to keep them down, as was and still are being used against the American negro. Now imagine if this was the early 90s and say hip-hop was created in the 40s. There was no FiOS at that time, and there were no cellphones with the ability to text and search information that you would normally get in the encyclopedia at lightning speeds. They would've been able to pull the wool over our eyes. But nope, this is now, and all vultures are getting called out and exposed.
Tex Dj Hollywood half BA? They also ignore that the ricans who came around didn't even claim their rican side around Black folks

Very good video,..seemingly some are always trying to steal props from the original people who are the flavor of the earth ,as it is written,..” ye are the salt of the earth”!!!
Puerto Ricans had to learn or be taught Hip Hop by coming outside their homes and communities. The one thing that Latinos can never claim is that they had Hop within their homes and communities. Blacks had Hip Hop within their homes and communities because the Culture was passed down from their parents and grandparents house parties and family gatherings. Many of the early pioneer DJs were the kids that played records for their parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents gatherings. Actually, the brothers and sisters in the 1940s and 50s were the forebearers of Hip Hop Culture. They just didn't call it by that name. Those Latinos that are trying to claim Hip Hop as part of their culture are mistaken and only show their true intent which is to corrupt and co-opt just like their Spanish colonizers.
There we go with the "Spanish Colonizer" psycho-babble. You sound worse than a White conspiracy theorist. New York City Puerto Ricans did not have to be taught a thing. Puerto Ricans were dynamically involved in an evolutionary stage as active contributors. You must understand Grasshopper, that New York City Puerto Ricans are forever "Down by Law!" Blacks of NYC in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's were cohabitating with Puerto Ricans en masse, and were influenced by Puerto Rican culture very heavily. The problem here is that sadly most Blacks outside of NYC are bigots and misinformed. They just cannot fathom that a people from such a small island in the Caribbean could have helped to create a worldwide musical phenomena. That goes to show you how they think they are superior to people who they feel are intellectually, and culturally inferior. You will learn that Puerto Ricans are not "Mexicans." We are a different beast, and you will accept these facts whether you have to see a psychiatrist or not!

Mario use to give parties in my basement, and Grand Wizard Theodore was the DJ. I remember asking where they were from and Snag told me N.C. I was too young to go to the parties, but my bedroom window was overlooking the basement, and I would hear Mario on the mic, yelling "JUICE - JUICE - JUICE JUICE JUICE - JUICE.

@@LOU1982 FACTS
you just earned a new sub! MIC DROP!!!
I’m Indian, got into hip hop around 81 82 as a bboy in Connecticut with my brother. Me and my brother heard the underground hip hop and electro hip hop on the local college radio station. They would play malcolm McLaren, space cowboy, play that beat, looking for the perfect beat, jam in it, rock it, kraftwerk . Like that era. Small town with a hip hop scene. Being Indian we really didn’t have any connection to hip hop other than the radio. My dad was a musician on Indian style drums at the local college. His music friends that were black were middle to upper class folks and played straight jazz only. We asked them about hip hop and they said it was awful music (they said it wasn’t real music). I think they thought that it would stray us away but it only made us search harder. So we connected with friends and peers in elementary school. That’s when we discovered hip hop culture which at that time seemed to only exist in the local housing projects. We were lucky to have found it because it was so obscure and it was definitely black street culture from what we saw here in CT. Man did we have fun. We used to go to Dj’s houses and watch ppl dj and rap from the am to the pm. The Parents would yell at us when it was too loud saying “turn it down …who are those little kids hanging out here listening to the devils music.” Lol. I think I don’t know for sure but all the other cultures were there learning and we were encouraged to find our own style) rather than copy. I wasn’t there during the Bronx era back in the beginning (wasn’t even born yet . There was no internet and it wasn’t until like 84 85 that I found out about the 70’s Bronx hip hop scene through the movie wild style and a local hip hop hero G-Slim and DJ Presto who told us about the mixtapes there uncles would bring back. It was awesome. I’ll never forget it. Thanks.

Grateful for this channel for challenging the popular history and proving the real history of Hip Hop. I will never be silent when someone it talking the origins without including the Sotomayor Homes - Bronxdale - Rosedale Park area, DJ Dee and Mario. But, this channel doesn’t have me convinced that only black Americans created this. It’s not solely us and it doesn’t diminish us to acknowledge true history.
Many hip hop pioneers had Caribbean roots but many didn’t. Truth works. Mario’s fam went from NC to NYC and he was Black American. Doug E Fresh (Barbadian) pioneered the beatbox. Bam and Herc (Jamaican), like Mario, were pioneering DJs. Some of the pioneering graf writers and bboys were Puerto Rican. Flash and Theodore pioneered scratching (Theodore is Black American and Flash is Jamaican. Some early graf writers were white too, Beside Charlie Chase, almost all the pioneering emcees were Black American.
Don't forget about KoolDjDee and TyroneTheMixologist, both were out there before hip hop and inspired most of the guys you named and both are Black American men from the south..Tyrone started the scratching 🤷🏽♂️
You are talking about their roots....not their culture. The adopted Black American Culture. It don't matter what their roots are. Literally nothing comes from latino or carribean culture .....nothing at all. To use their carribean roots....is just semantics and tethering
For most part African Americans did create it, I'd say at least 95 to 98 percent of it, which is as good as saying all of it, as it was wholly their music and their culture used to create it, so that makes perfect sense. Further to the point, the hip hop pioneers of Caribbean and Hispanic descent still adopted African American music and culture to do what they did, so even then their ethnicity does not figure too much as influence in what they did. Believe it or not, Flash is actually Bronx-born part Caribbean (but not Jamaican) and part direct West African from Africa itself (Sierra Leone).
All of these people operated under a Black American musical/street/dance aesthetic, not a West Indian or Rican one.
@@hiphophistorian5476 I hear you. I think it’s a disingenuous point though. I think it’s an important that these kids were at home speaking Jamaican patois, Haitian Creole or Spanglish while code switching on the block. If Carlos Santana can credit his musical sound, as he says it, as “all African music,” I think okay to acknowledge the thing that made the Bronx unique from every other place in the country and, to some degree, different from other boroughs in NYC. In other words, even if these kids were code switching, they diversity of these neighborhoods made it possible too. It doesn’t disminish Black American impact but it does explain the what happened. It’s okay for us to say it.
Chicago blues is a thing because black people migrated to Chi from Alabama and Mississippi. New Orleans jazz is a thing because the convergence of creole, French, and Black people. House is a thing because straight and gay Black people weren’t rocking in mainstream discos in the same.
Love that we’re talking about it all and, again, salute to Mario, Dee, Bam and this incredible culture.
Where can the lightness be traced too? Europe or Spain?
Amazing how ‘sick’ some people are to attempt to steal historical content. Mario’s flesh and blood told us he wasn’t Puerto Rican.
