    Those old Grandmaster Flash clips always make me cry…. HipHop DJing in it’s purest form ! One of the reasons this white boy fell in love with black music.

      Most Black Americans roots are not from any country or region in Africa. Many of our ancestors were here before the Europeans arrived.

      @@Nocturnal11Guy stop lying to yourself. Your ancestry is majority in Africa. How come so much of your culture can be traced to Africa if you were here more before European arrivals. Rapping didn’t start in New York. It was developed there. Griot talking is an ancestor of rapping. When you study history you can’t have a bias viewpoint otherwise you will just deceive yourself

    I haven’t seen this but will. It is true that in the 6th grade I was at a hiphop disco with my friend (in another class). The same girl who I listened to cookie crew and 2 live crew, Ll cool j with and I watched Terror on Elm Street with her. She also performed..I think she sang..Madonna - Into the groove (dressed like Madonna) in school when she was as young as 9 or 10 !!!! I liked some songs with Madonna that my sister recorded to me aswell. In the eighties, parents let their kids be out a lot...so we could do pretty much what we felt like. This girl was mature, yet childish..however she knew ”older” people. With her I also went to a close by ”suburb" with "a moped with a cargo bed” (I tried to google translate this...) We were a bunch of people on the front sitting on that ”bed” (??). That suburb were more of a hood like environment than where we lived...We liked to be there a lot. Also that disco was even further into the ”hood” ...(no villas) So, its no surprise they knew there what was happening. What I remember from the disco is that it was dark, it was only black guys there with gold chains and caps and then her and I. The music was very rap-like and not so melodic. This was my first meeting with hip hop coming to my country and later on that year (?) I don’t know if this is the same year...anyway I remember a song that became ”mainstream”. People listened to ”Mary, Mary” with Run DMC. This is my first memory of hiphop becoming something people listened to. Then you have to remember that the one who remembers is 12 years old. I wonder what kind of memories and older person from those years would have. I wouldn’t exactly let a 12 year old define music history but I’m actually amazed how much we knew at a young age and how fast music spreads. When it comes to music my whole family is interested. My sister even works with it so its important to me to remember my history
