This was a great labor of love, you can tell. I grew up on folk rock into classic rock & old time blues. I find my tastes change with age. Younger people want something different to call their own. That is great, encouraging poetry/songs/stories to a unique beat or rythum is what keeps music fresh. Communications worldwide inspires creativity on levels never before seen or heard. Arguing over who, when, where is not the issue. Creativity and bringing people together for good music and a party atmosphere of friendship should be the goal. Peace, Wayne
It started in Jamaica in the 50's but there was no recordings because it was underground. they called them DJ which translated to MC. They would rap on a beat for the crowd for entertainment for the crowd in the clubs. Jamaicans started migrating to new York in the 60's and brought this style to the streets. you can check out, most some of the first known rappers and most are jamaican or there parents were from there. Big up Biggie Smalls!
This is not true. Rap started in America as Jive talk/ the dozens & was popularized through US radio. Jamaican djs like Count Machuki listened to these American broadcasts & copied our style. So please stop the cultural appropriation. Rap is strictly a BLACK AMERICAN invention & we've been doing it for centuries.
Soon you're going to say that reggaeton didn't start it from Jamaicans either LOL. These rapper DJs we're doing their things decades before America called anything called rap and besides in those days you could not listen to American radio and good luck finding even a television in a neighborhood. In that time most of the influence came from the British. In those days DJs grab the mic it was a cultural thing and it was a part of the music to get the crowd uplifted. I got this information from my father who it was an artist and he grew up as a little kid hanging around studios and parties were DJs would rap on the mic. We're talking about late 40s early 50s then in the early '70s the more recognized rap music start to form and they actually have documentaries talking about how Jamaican DJs were the first to break the beats out with the underground MC's at parties just like Jamaica was doing for such a long time. .Regardless music was shared around the world and people got influenced from each other. America is not the center of the universe for everything. And besides Jamaicans came on the same slave boat as the rest of the Americans so it's all the same people anyway so no need to try to distort real facts
@@ianandrews8773 don't you wish , I was there, and what we did had nothing to do with Jamaica, In the early 70's the very beginnings of Hip Hop, Kool Herc was a spectator not a DJ and was being influenced by the park jams being thrown by Black Spades in Bronxdale Projects hosted by Disco King Mario Herc even admits to this in video, when he became a DJ the music he was playing was Black American music playing to Black American teenagers, he admits he adopted our style, along with creating the Merry Go Round Herc introduce Hip Hop to it's very first MC who was a Black American his stage name was Coke La Rock and that's all the credit that we should give Herc nothing else because Hip Hop originated way before Herc got cool or should I say Americanized, BTW I myself am Caribbean born arrived in The Bronx 1965 Day One Hip Hop head
I'm listening very carefully. The narrator states that Kool Herc borrowed a technic he got from downtown DJs, which was using two turntables. This implies that Kool Herc was going downtown, maybe even Brooklyn, as it was popular to go to BK between 65-73. It is highly likely that he was exposed to Grand Master John Flowers from BK, who was one of the most popular mobile DJs during this time. It has been said that JF was mixing and looping songs quite early in his career. There is evidence that he had been DJing since 1968. Another thing is that Disco songs didn't come out until 1974. So the records Flowers played were funk records too.
Hip Hop definition: A genre of music that young black & mexican kids started in the late 70’s. What?????? 1st of all you should not be speaking on Hip Hop if that is an accepted definition. You have no clue!!!!! I grew up in the Hip Hop movement. Hip Hop was 4 fold. 1. Dance (Breaking / Top Rocking) 2. Art ( Tagging / Graffiti) 3. Dj-ing 4. MC / Lyricist (what you people call rap or rapper) Now I grew up in Queens NYC in the early 70’s. And saw the birth of Hip Hop Movement in NYC... I was a BBoy ( Dancer) , DJ & Artist (graffiti).. never an MC, Hip Hop is not just rapping and that is what you fools don’t understand. The fact that you are just talking about only 2 segments of the culture shows you have no real understanding. Do you home work and try again. Lastly, growing up in NYC as a Latino. I never once met a Mexican until I was in my late 20’s .. Mexican Families did not start moving in masses to NYC until the Late 90’s You saying that all Latinos are Mexican is down right ignorant and straight up racist . Lastly, most music being done today is not Hip Hop. It’s just pop rap!!!!!
First of all you don’t what you are talking about. Rap/hip-hop origins predate as early as the late 1800’s. You can have all the experience you want and still be wrong and in your case stupid. Jamaicans had NOTHING to do with hip hops true origins nor it’s blueprint. Lastly his statement about the Mexicans isn’t his actual view it was more of a general statement or a clause. Also if you were really use that brain of yours you would see that prejudice is the proper word for the accusation you made on this individual. Not racism. But sure keep thinkings you’re so “knowledgeable” because of what YOU experienced. I swear idiots like yourself just need to live in a cave isolated from the rest of society. There are too many ignorant and stupid people out here.

Great research you have to include all research for it to be true for that subject to be true. Reporters, writers would be in trouble for say herc started Hip Hop.
Do your research talk to older DJs from the 1960, and 1970s. herc did not invent Hip Hop it was already started before he came from Jamaican to the United States
Nice video. I'm from the UK and while hip hop was getting started in the US we were (at least in the mainstream) still into rock and disco.

Please go back and learn some more. Research the true origins of hip hop in USA during the prohibition. It's really not that hard to find, it's on record.
This entire video is an example of cultural appropriation & is incorrect. Hip hop began in the 1960s way before Herc even got involved in the scene. He's been called out for his opportunistic behavior & has stayed silent bc he doesn't want ppl to pull out the receipts. Disco King Mario was throwing hip hop parties way before Herc. Break beat existed before Herc, breakdancing existed before Herc. Rapping DEFINITELY existed before Herc. I mean Pigmeat Markam's rap album came out in the 60s! In fact Jamaican 'toasting' is just Jamaican djs imitating Blk American Dj jive talk & jive talk is just another name for rap. The creator of Jamaican toasting, Count Machuki, even admits to this. Rap PREDATES toasting so how can we get it from them?

Google it before you even try to rebuttal. Lol I'm soooooo tired of the Blk American erasure.
@@petergriffin3723 a pre-cursor DJ to Herc but he was a “Disco” king. He must have been one of those start-to-finish DJs that ignored the break part. Herc changed all of that...
My question. Where is the instrumental talent in today's so called rap or Hip Hop? Oh yeah their isn't any. Then on top of it the majority of rappers don't know the first thing about the use of literary devices in within their lyrics. Furthermore, singing will always require more talent and skill. With rapping, the artist doesn't have to worry about staying in key, tonality, hitting the right notes. It's a sloppy, nearly talentless form of music, that ultimately requires very little skill. I have been a musician for sixteen years, and I've worked as a sound reinforcement technician, doing live sound for many musical groups, and I just really can't comprehend what makes rap or Hip Hop so appealing. Oh and believe me exposure to it is not the problem, I've listened to alot of it and I can't stand it, especially the newer ever more ridiculous genera mumble rap.(you might as well take giant shit right on the mic, then give it a ten second looped beat, their ya go kids mumble rap)
I hate to break it to ya but nobody cares what a tone-deaf person has to say. Hip Hop dominates the music industry with tens of millions of fans so deal with it pal 🤷♂️.
This is not true hip hop was already forming in the late sixties DJ Kool herc and the whole toasting Theory came from Foundation black Americans DJ disc jockeys that were on the radio certain immigrant from Jamaica took that back to Jamaica and they started toasting they got that from foundational black Americans. DJ Kool herc just took what we were already doing and elevated it
So refreshing doing something different this time...let me know what you think :)

Then on top of it the majority of rappers don't know the first thing about the use of literary devices in within their lyrics. Furthermore, singing will always require more talent and skill. With rapping, the artist doesn't have to worry about staying in key, tonality, hitting the right notes. It's a sloppy, nearly talentless form of music, that ultimately requires very little skill. I have been a musician for sixteen years, and I've worked as a sound reinforcement technician, doing live sound for many musical groups, and I just really can't comprehend what makes rap or Hip Hop so appealing. Oh and believe me exposure to it is not the problem, I've listened to alot of it and I can't stand it, especially the newer ever more ridiculous genera mumble rap.(you might as well take giant shit right on the mic, then give it a ten second looped beat, their ya go kids mumble rap)
I hate to break it to ya but nobody cares what a tone-deaf person has to say. Hip Hop dominates the music industry with tens of millions of fans so deal with it pal 🤷♂️.
That's your opinion some people feel the same way about heavy metal. Just stick to what you like problem solved.
Too much talking in this documentary and wack back ground music I am going to press stop
Rap is not descended from one particular music but from multiple art forms.
This is not true hip hop was already forming in the late sixties DJ Kool herc and the whole toasting Theory came from Foundation black Americans DJ disc jockeys that were on the radio certain immigrant from Jamaica took that back to Jamaica and they started toasting they got that from foundational black Americans. DJ Kool herc just took what we were already doing and elevated it
Yea dat is true but did u know dat in Jamaica there were people who speake Spanish there
