Mario just got recognized this week as founding father of hip hop and honored with his own street thanks to the research a lot of RUclipsrs did
As he should've, I remember Mario danced with him. In addition, MC'd in Bronxdale Park. Furthermore, at the Audubon Ballroom. I was there to. I AM MC Shorty Tee.
He was never recognized as a founding father lol
@@IAMHIPHOP974 yeah. He is. You’ll see in the museum. As well as dj hollywood.
@@IAMHIPHOP974 yes he was. As well as dj hollywood. And also I just realized he was also recognized in the Netflix series the get down.
@@absolute7250 you won't see him in the museum lol
Im one of his daughters and he just got a street sign up with his name on July 1 which is also his birthday
How you doing Quèen? Im so glad for that recognition long deserved. I got into HIP HOP in 1979 and i'm Colombian and grew up in Amityville, Strong Island. Salute & Respect. Disco King Mario Rest In Peace!🙏
Your Father was a great man and deserves all the praise he receives. He should have more as NO ONE could rock a party like Mario. Blessings to you and your family ❤
@lyndawilliams4570 Hello and thank you so much ..I appreciate your kind words
Hey sweetie
That’s so awesome!
Thank you for this Disco King Mario deserves to be recognized.
Look those people he mention are disco DJs, DJ Kool herc's was the first DJ who played only the breakdown of the beat and also had someone rapping as he DJ who was called cock La Rock who was the rapper so please stop trying to fit those DJ's into hip-hop and yes pigmeat is actually the first hip hop record but still dj kool herc what the first to play only the break down on the beats which started a trend.
@@hkizzle4869 Disco DJ Culture is what gave Birth to Hip-hop DJs in New York Herc learned from these Cats thats facts.
@@James-lu4hb but see that's what you guys are not getting he did two things that made it different from what the rest of the DJs were doing and that is something that is called the Merry-Go-Round and having an MC on the mic as he DJ these two things were different from every other DJ you have to understand that yes those other DJs were hot also but they did not do the specific thing I just mention which is the foundation hip-hop
@@hkizzle4869 What you are not getting is that without the Disco DJ Culture in NYC in the 1970s there would be no HIP-HOP because those are the guys that started the Culture. Kool Herc used to watch and borrow equipment from Disco DJs like Mario in the Bronx these are facts that are backed up by testimony from Black Spade OG Gang Members who were there. Without Disco DJs HIP-HOP would not exist these are facts that cannot be denied Herc didn't know how to DJ until he learned from the Disco DJs in the Bronx and that goes for Bam and Flash also.
@@hkizzle4869 MC on the Mic has always been apart of African American Culture That's something that Herc didn't invent Black Americans been rapping better go listen to Pigmeat Markham, Hustlers convention, Last Poets, etc etc. Coke LA Rock Rapping wasn't some new Phenomenon in Black American Culture. What Herc did was extend the Break Beat on Soul and Funk Music thats it Bboy Culture is what he did.
I grew up in the bronxdale projects I r he Bronx from 1972 to 1981. I remember Mario, very charismatic young man.
(RIP) DISCO KING MARIO LONG DESERVE RECOGNITION! I ALWAYS SAID HE WAS ONE OF OUR FIRST FORE FOUNDERS. HE SHOULD ALWAYS BE MENTIONED IN WHAT WE CALL HIP HOP.❤️ THANKS FOR THIS BIG INFORMATION AND RECOGNITION OF ONE OF THE FIRST OF OUR GREAT CULTURE OF REAL HIP HOP...🥁🥁🎹🎹PEACE!✌️❤️
Thank you for this ..his family appreciates it greatly.
First Hiphop Dj PERIOD
No he wasn't. Jamaicans created the sound systems and it spread to other parts of the world before coming to America. So he definitely wasn't the first to play music because Americans didn't even create the firsts sound systems. Stop being ignorant
Well why is don’t they stay in Jamaica and push their “culture “?
I know you are kinda slow but read it again HIP HOP DJ FIRST HIP HOP DJ
@@Mr51street he's called Disco King Mario and this goes different from hip Hop.
That's two different genres. But when it comes to hip-hop DJ Kool herc take credit for that.
Three founders of hip-hop is DJ Kool herc, grandmaster flash, and African bambaataa and all three of these cats is from the islands
@@Mr51street ruclips.net/video/lGL66anmvfU/видео.html
RIP Disco King Mario
Hip hop came outta the GANG culture
Disco king Mario was a Black Spade from Bronxdale 1st division he had street cred and juice way before Herc and bam they came to see him first and took what he was doing back to their hood
That is definitely a fact but let me add to that! Mario seen the pre-teens doing what they were doing and catered to them those are the ones who are left out of the story DJPHASE IS ABOUT THE ONLY ONE WHO TELLS THIS TRUTH NIT TEENAGERS BUT PRETEENS
@Black_unity597 so hip hop originated ftom disco.
This is the reason he could played everywhere with his sound system. He had street creds plus the parents like him because he kept the kids doing somthing positive.
I like how you summarized everything
I hate when people talk too much instead of giving the important points
MARIO WAS NOT PUERTO RICAN AND BLACK! HE'S MY COUSIN!!!
Mario was mistaken as a Puerto Rican, because he hung out tough with the Puerto Ricans all down Watson Ave. Mario, also had a thing for Butter Pecan Puerto Rican women, like most Black dudes from The Bronx do.
True he had a child by a Puerto Rican woman name Gladys from Bronxriver
@@RandomFlavorHe was not mistaken as a Puerto Rican so what if he had an affinity for puerto rican women many black men do.
@@RedSupremeIsHalfMexican Good morning, sir. Are you from Soundview?
@@RandomFlavor Close enough young man
THATS MY COUSIN MARIO, HE LIVE DOWN THE HALL FROM ME
I have been watching video documentaries on Disco King Mario for a week now. As time goes on and the younger people are learning more about the true founders of Hip Hop, his name is going to live on. I'm just sick at my stomach at the way others tried to erase African American pioneer names from the history of Hip Hop. I like many are waiting for Tariq's Microphone Check film to drop next month.
Hip hop is black music/culture
Depends on how you define "black"
I pride myself on being knowledgeable about the roots of Hip Hop, but I'm learning something new with every video you post and I'm getting humbled lol. Keep up the good work!
5:20 Ironically, Gang affiliation is still a key to the success of Hip Hop in 2022.
Only in Name and Title.
According to Ced Gee member of the ultra magnetic emcees, Mario started to play hip hop around 77-78 prior he was a disco DJ that only played popular music from the radio. So with that info, it would make Mario 2nd generation hiphop DJ after Herc, Flash, Bam, and DJ Breakout.
No, King Herc and Afrika Bambatta are not the first pioneers, so stop with the misinformation. The first pioneers are "Black" Americans who are not immigrants and King Mario was a "Black" American, not half Boriqua like Puerto Ricans are claiming. You don't know what you are talking about.
Another Dj you should Research is Dj Smokey and the smokatrons. He is from the same age group as Herc and Mario. He was out before Herc if I’m not mistaken
Yes you right i hear it from Grandmixer DST the Smokatrons are his B Boy Crew he began like all the DJs or Rappers as a BBoy that was late 68/69 he beginning to Deejayn @ 1972 Disco King Mario is from the East Bronx Herc was from West Bronx I Think Smokey is from West Bronx to.Bam was from East Bronx Bronx River Flash was from South Bronx DJ Breakout was from the North Bronx
Look those people he mention are disco DJs, DJ Kool herc's was the first DJ who played only the breakdown of the beat and also had someone rapping as he DJ who was called cock La Rock who was the rapper so please stop trying to fit those DJ's into hip-hop and yes pigmeat is actually the first hip hop record but still dj kool herc what the first to play only the break down on the beats which started a trend.
@@hkizzle4869 Pete Dj Jones was playing breaks before Herc. He called it the “jump part”.
@@djpioneer937 pete Jones wasnt playin breaks only and had someone rapping on the might I'm telling you but he was a dj around that time that would tap in to playing the breakdown parts but not like kool herks did
@@hkizzle4869 kool dj dee was playing break beats before herc. They played
The first break beats they where playing was funk Disco songs like “ I can’t stop”
Thanx Greg!!! You the man for this one!
IN EVERY ASPECT. WAY BEFORE EVERYTHING
FBA 🇺🇸
I had the pleasure of actually being at "Disco King Mario" jams at Rosedale Park in The Bronx, NY... If you have any questions -- just let me know...
What was the music that he actually played.
@@abyss104 I am going to give you some free Bronx Hip Hop culture history. In 1978, when Hip Hop was running rampant throughout The Bronx -- Disco King Mario had Rosedale Park on-lock. Truth be told "Tex DJ Hollywood" did most of the DJ work @ Rosedale Park. What was on heavy rotation in 78 & 79 was a mixture of Disco and Break-Beats. You heard a mixture of Candi Staton's "When you wake up tomorrow" Cheryl Lynn's "Keep it Hot" Chic's "Good Times" Captain Sky's "SuperSporm" Stephanie Mills "Put ya Body in It" Stephanie Mills "Whatcha Gonna Do with My Lovin" Freedom's "Get up and Dance" Incredible Bongo Band's "Apache" Frankie Beverly's "Before I let Go" 20th Century Steel Band's "Heaven and Hell" Bob James "Take me to the Mardi Gras" John Davis & The Monster Orchestra "I Can't Stop" Esther Williams "Last Night Changed it All" Fred Wesley & The JB's "Blow Your Head" Dennis Coffey "Scorpio" The Magic Disco Machine "Scratchin" Juice "Catch a Groove" Vaughn Mason "Bounce Rock Skate" Ralph MacDonald "Calypso Breakdown" Ralph MacDonald "Jam on the Groove" Jimmy Castor "It's Just Begun" East Side Connection "Frisco Disco" Heatwave "Ain't No Half-Steppin." Once again, It was Tex DJ Hollywood doing the real cutting & scratching of all these tracks. Mario was generally partying with the crowd & watching the sound-system...
@@RandomFlavor Thank you for sharing this information with me

No. I am a non FBA African American born in the Bronx. I want to learn about hip hop culture and its origins from different perspectives.

Thank you for the content!!
Foundational black Americans created hip hop. This whole big topic going on now about it being 50/50 between black Americans and Latinos is completely bs
EXACTLY!!!! 💯 The first 6 years of Hip-Hop did not have one single Latino in participation.. We're not hating.. These are just facts..

Thank you
Disco Music didn't even come out until 1974-1975 so technically Hip-Hop was around before Disco Music. When ppl said "Disco" back then they was referring to Discotheques THERE WAS NO DISCO MUSIC BACK THEN!
WE started a whole new thing. Because of Disco king Mario. Not from the BRONX. WE started the blend's. NBNY Newburgh New York I got MY start from Mario
0:34 Mario was one of the founders of the Hip hop movement, he had nothing to do with music history nor did any of the other Bronx DJs. Rap was already a part of black society before the Hip hop movement's inception.
DJs have nothing to do with music history? That doesn't really make sense to me, DJs have been integral to trends and tastemaking in music; for a large part of the 20th century they defined and shaped trends in music, and that's no different for the Bronx DJs in the 60s and 70s. They had a huge influence on the styles, and styles of music that comprised early hip hop performances and records.
@@GregorDWScott No one in the Bronx created a new genre of music. The 1970s New York scene is greatly overrated in the history of rap the obsession with that scene and era makes no sense. We must learn to accept history as it really is and not how we want it to be.
Look those people he mention are disco DJs, DJ Kool herc's was the first DJ who played only the breakdown of the beat and also had someone rapping as he DJ who was called cock La Rock who was the rapper so please stop trying to fit those DJ's into hip-hop and yes pigmeat is actually the first hip hop record but still dj kool herc what the first to play only the break down on the beats which started a trend.
Beyoncé please stick to pop music. You clearly don’t know anything about the history of Hiphop.
@@bishoptatum8737 Go fix up your country.
I would like to hear his samples
Dude used to play Jackson 5 and el Coco music at the roller skate ring.
TRUTH BE TOLD, AS A MATTER OF FACT!! HIPHOP did not start in West Bronx on Sedgwick, in a basement. It was originated by DISCO KING MARIO’s CHUCK-CHUCK CITY CREW & ZULU NATION’S AFRIKKA BAMBAATAA, in the South, far east Bronx in Bronxdale, Bronx River, Soundview, Castle Hill, 100, & crosstown’s 23 PARKS!! HIPHOP started in the street! But bcuz Mario has passed away, and Bam has gone away, Herc has claimed the fame, but I know when he got that star on the Walk/Hall of Fame, some of those tears were bcuz he knew he didn’t deserve the title. He can get credit for taking hiphop from basement into the clubs like Fever, but it started raw, literal grass-roots; tru spontaneous talent & skills, rhyming, rapping’ mixin’, scratching’, beat-boxing’, hiphop hustlin’, break-dancin’, & graffiti. It was so good all the other boroughs wanted to do it too. Hence, Queens & Brklyn rappers; but there’s a reason we’re called The Boogie-Down Bronx!! WE EARNED IT!! Now 52yrs later, it has become a culture every1 wants to be a part of. The Art now includes clothing, speaking, & socialization. So when that museum has its opening day, Herc needs to give Mario & Bam their props by naming them as truly the originators of HIPHOP. Hiphop of today isn’t as good as it was back then. It was clean fun, lyrics, no disrespect & nobody got killed. However I am proud that it has lasted as something Blacks can call their own. Kwanzaa, & now Juneteenth are the only things we as a people can claim in this country. True that music & sports are dominated and by Blacks, managers have taken them for their own gain. Even tho’ we built this country & invented most things, others have taken the credit for it. There are some black folk who have gained ownership, but HIPHOP, they can’t take from us!!
Booty bandit bam had nothing to do with the creation of hip hop that’s for one! 2 it was something that was done before New York ever even thought about it hip hop the culture it self exist before it was named this thing hip hop which came in real life from the older people calling what the younger kids pre-teens were doing hippty hop crap and boyong music the list goes on hip hop stuck booty bandit bam didn’t do anything but put all the things that he saw Black Americans doing together under a banner called hip hop nothing more end of story est. in 1619 the day alot of us touched this soil the music is out of the south you take the music there is no hip hop all the other stuff really is meaningless Mario play a major part and was a hip hop Dj regardless of what anyone says Bam was a participant just like all other immigrants which he was one too people came into the Black communities which the vast majority were out of the south who came this way with their culture and music that took over the world James Brown being the real father of hip hop it all sparked with him I could go on forever with this topic but won’t because a lot of people have made up their minds and just won’t look at the proof just with their feelings! Never was a unity with PR and Black Americans still isn’t today which shows with election of trump alit of the fantasy has to stop and the truth must be told! Soul funk jazz r&b Gospel are all apart of hip hop
Africa bamatta was his apprentice.
You got a lot wrong, but happy to see you recognize him. He was the absolute first of the type. That's not south Bronx. I'm sure they got I straight down here
Herc. Never did nothing to push the music forward
Please can someone tell me what the Playlist of Disco King Mario played back then.
From my recollection of being in attendance at his legendary jams in "Rosedale Park" Bronx, NY Circa 78 / 80 -- I remember him and "Tex DJ Hollywood" playing: "Scratchin" by the Magic Disco Machine, "SuperSporm" by Captain Sky, "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band, "Bongo Rock" by The Incredible Bongo Band, "Blow Your Head" by Fred Wesley & the JB's, "I can't Stop" by John Davis & the Monster Orchestra, "Ain't no Half Steppin" by Heatwave, "Good Times" by Chic, "When You Wake Up Tomorrow" by Candi Staton, "Bon Bon Vie" By T.S. Monk, "Heaven and Hell is On Earth" by 20th Century Steel Band, "Blackbyrds Theme" by The Blackbyrds, "Last Night Changed it All" by Esther Williams, "Get up and Dance" by Freedom, "Give it up Turn it Loose" by James Brown, "Frisco Disco" by EastSide Connection, are some joints that immediately come to mind.
@@RandomFlavor Thank you so much. Because there is a little bit of Disco King Mario history. It is almost the same Playlist Kool Herc was playing back then.
What are your favorite records from back then, what they played in the Block/Park Parties?
@@Maurice572 All the break-beat records were my favorites at that time.
@@RandomFlavor Thank you.
Who was your favorite DJ, MC, Rap crew and B-boy crew back then. And why? .
@@Maurice572 My favorite DJ was a local-yocal from the "SoundMasters" in Castle Hill, BX known as "Teofilo." He threw some great house parties @thecastlehillprojects back in the day. My favorite rap crew was The "Treacherous 3" with "Kool Mo Dee." favorite B-Boy crew was "T.B.B" (The Bronx Boys Rockin Crew). They were all nice with it at that time in my humble opinion.
Hey there I’m Dj Def K from Demon Boyz
I’ve been doing a lot research…I say research as I’ve actually spoken to a few original pioneers including Black Spades.

Great vid, many thanks

I have been watching many videos on the creation of hip hop and the issue of Jamaican and Latin cultures is a big issue, I googled Disco King Mario and all I could find was his birth date and death date I understand he’s from NC , but the one thing I couldn’t find was his government name, regardless of his place of birth, if his roots is Latin then Puerto Ricans will lay claim to being the foundation stone in hip hop history, do you know his government name?
He is from South Carolina ! He is FBA
@@lockvegas05 I know they don't think FBA'S ever lived in abundance in NYC. Plus Herc wasn't a Park DJ he was a event/club DJ.
Mario was a southern Black man whose family migrated to the North.
His family comes out of Black southern culture like many of our families that came from the South to NYC.
WE, like Mario, come out of Jim Crow, segregation, share cropping and enslavement. Not that being of Puerto Rican or Jamaican descent is shameful. Not is there any reason for detachment.
It's important because too often in history Black people born in the States.....the so-called American Negro has been left out of being accurately credited for a myriad of things in popular American history and culture.
Mario is from cornbread, hammocks and black-eyed peas eatin' folks.
Ok, I saw a video with his family confirming they have no Latin roots, case closed on that
@@lockvegas05💯

Fair, and I don't disagree with what you say about Herc, but my point here is that it's about more than one person. Even if Mario's influence didn't extend beyond Bambaataa and Busy Bee, that's still a very solid contribution to early hip hop.
Edit: please stop dropping the same comment all over, once is enough.
@@GregorDWScott no problem no more copy and past comment but yeah I do agree they were influential to the up coming dj's
thanks! I love people coming in with interesting comments, even if I sometimes disagree.
DJ HOLLYWOOD AND LUVBUG STARSKI WAS WAY BEFORE COKE LA ROCK!!!
Actually that is not true about the breaks! Actually, DJ Smokey was one the the first to loop the breaks. Kool Herc copied a lot stuff. He gets credit for the Merry Go Round, which is looping the breaks indefinitely. Grandmix DXT is correcting a lot of these myths.
respect and rest in peace to disco king mario. He could have been a great help to starting hip hop by way of connections but how did his mixes help shape hip hop if he mostly played records and did not emphasize breaks. Taric nasheed even lied and claimed he started hip hop but how??? does any one know what sonically defines "hip Hop" . Taric seems to know but ignores the fact that herc is the one that emphasized the funk breaks. most other djs played records that are more like house if anything .james browns The funky drummer rythm is a good example of what definsed the rythm behind hip hop and you can hear its influence today in rap beats. how IS HE INTEGRAL TO THE SOUND is my question.

thanks for this video, do you know the real name of Disco King Mario ?
Key word disco king
Yea. It wasn't called Hip-Hop then. It was Disco. "Black Disco". They called it the Jam. Not Hip-Hop.
@@SkanDigital all the hip hop heads said hip hop was separate from disco and the disco peeps didn’t want the hip hop heads at they parties dancing - separate movements.
@@trevormcdonald385 yeah, but when? Because it wasn't called Hip-Hop then. And there was 2 types of Disco. White and Black Disco. Hip-Hop was started by kids. They were called jitterbugs. Hippity Hopper's. They were not Hip-Hop heads, and the they were not allowed in clubs. They did mess with Disco. Just they played Disc/Funk etc how they wanted to the breaks and any other parts of the songs that were dope.
@@trevormcdonald385 Bro, I can tell you're a Generation Z'er or a Millennial. Disco Rap is actually a Hip-Hop genre from 1977 to 1983.. Disco beats and Disco breakbeats played a major role in early Hip-Hop.. The song "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang was done over a disco beat.. Many people simply referred to early Hip-Hop as : "Disco Rap".. In fact, if you G00GLE "Disco Rap" right now it will come up as being synonymous with old school Hip-Hop..
Come on bro... The Disco drum beat itself was created by a Black American named Earl Young.. Using disco break beats didn't last long, but hell, a lot of rappers started using Jazz break beats in the late 1980's to early 1990's and that didn't last very long either.. Don't get me started on the breakbeats that early Hip-Hop artists would use from the genre called "Disco-Funk", because that would be another conversation all by itself
@@carbon6951 so why do the hiphop djs explicitly state that disco djs were separate from them and didn’t want b boys dancing at their parties? They were catering to a different crowd. Hip hop grew out of a separate movement.
You sound like you have a tinge of Irish in your accent, but you still sound mostly American.
The definition of a Hip Hop deejay, is what records you play for a certain listener. Mario is fundamental in playing these funky Black and Latino records that allowed the gang members to get down. Note 'Disco' is a term for where you play. The Disco in Mario's name does not refer to what was coined 'Disco music', which only appears in the mid 70's not 1971 when Mario came to the fore. Earlier Brooklyn & Queens deejays did not play those records for what became the Hip Hop crowd, rather what became so called Disco sounding melodic tracks which couldn't be 'burned' to.
MARIO AINT PLAY LATINO RECORDS... STOP IT
Mario isn't Latin he's from South Carolina you guys just say anything.
No one played any Latino records stop the bs.
BRONXDALE AINT IN THE SOUTH BRONX
You know I didn't even pick up on this, good catch! What were called the Bronxdale houses are basically in Soundview. Whatever source I checked said south Bronx, but I guess that's southeast?
DISCO KING AND GRANDMASTER FLOWERS WERE NOT THE FOUNDERS OF HIP-HOP -- THEY DIED IN 94 AND 92 -- MEANING THEY LIVED DURING THE SAME TIME HERC, FLASH AND BAMBATA CLAIMED THEY WERE THE FOUNDERS -- THEY NEVER COUNTERED THEIR CLAIMS AND NEVER ONCE SAID THEY CAME UP WITH ANYTHING INNOVATIVE THAT INSPIRED THEM, ALL THEY DID WAS PRESS PLAY AND DANCE.
All the Black-Ricans🇵🇷are always the forgotten just like the Black-Ricans🇵🇷in WW1 that were in the Harlemhellfighters. A miracle they didn’t lie about Roberto Clemente.
RIP❤️to all the Black-Ricans that been forgotten especially in North Carolina-1917🇵🇷💎
False
🤣
😂😂😂
Laughable. There was JUST Black Americans. Stop trying to crowbar Puerto Ricans in Black Americans history. The few and I mean few Puerto Ricans that were around were just spectators and did not have a hand in the creation of hiphop. We Black Americans who lineage can be traced back to the creation of America are the ones one created hiphop, not Puerto Ricans or Jamaicans. We have allowed these lies to continue to long and finally we are gatekeeping our culture.
@@tonyjohnson8205 Your mom’s teeth 😂
So because he was a popular disco Dj that makes him one of the first founder of HipHop???? Seems like any Popular Dj back then could’ve been Founders.
You're caught up the "disco" moniker. He was known as "DJ Mario" before he bogarted "Disco King" from a guy named JJ the Disco King. Mario played disco but he also played breakbeats too; Just like Herc was known for breakbeats but played disco from time to time and he played slow jams
Look those people he mention are disco DJs, DJ Kool herc's was the first DJ who played only the breakdown of the beat and also had someone rapping as he DJ who was called cock La Rock who was the rapper so please stop trying to fit those DJ's into hip-hop and yes pigmeat is actually the first hip hop record but still dj kool herc what the first to play only the break down on the beats which started a trend.
The Culture of Disco as you know it wasn't in existence at the time, the word Disco was more of a Slang or jargon at the time like the word "Function " is used today to replace the word Party . He wasn't a Disco dj or club dj perse. he was a park dj hint hint hip hop started with park jams. all the gangsters and hot chicks and mc's and b boys and kids who didn't attended clubs would be at park jams. with that said Herc attended Mario's park jams way before Herc started putting on his own, in fact Herc had to have the Black Spades and Mario's(member) permission to put on park jams because the Black Spades ran the Bronx.
@@mikeb8497 and Kool Herc records and concepts that he used was also different which has the real concept of definition for what Hiphop was! Disco Mario Emcee said,”Mario told him he’s gonna get the same records just like Kool Herc” so playing in the park doesn’t mean Hiphop.
@@skbosdgame8435 dude hiphop started in the park jams, i dont know where your from or what nationality you are but american hip hop started right there in the black projects at the park. You can talk about records, the fact is everybody played common records of black american artist, you can talk about concepts, the overall concept was playing records which everybody did ok. this argument is becoming redundant, get over it, hip hop didn't start with Herc, he joined in on what was already going on from the new way he dressed to the new slang he picked up, he didn't influence the kids he met moving into the bronx, they influenced him. end of the story.
Mario was not a founding father. He was not a Hip Hop DJ until later after Herc,Bam and the true original Hip Hop DJ,Grandmaster Flash.
Your wrong Mario was the true first
@@2AMpodcasts never was and never will be
Actually you are wrong ! Bam and Flash are second tier according grandmix DXT. He asked herc if 3 people had to be up there, who would it be. Accord to DXT herc stated the following! DJ Smokey, Disco King Mario and himself. He admits that Bam and flash are second tier .
@@lockvegas05 the trinity is Herc,Bam and Flash
@@lockvegas05 no one before Herc is Hip Hop
White boy watch you mouth by the beginning of what you just said tell me that you don’t know all the way about what your u talking about yes Mario was the originator of hip hop and he was a good DJ it was herc that wasn’t really a DJ or even good at it all herc did waa tie a breaks together ! That’s it!!!! Make sure you have it correct before you speak
