We don't need a link. Jamaicans involvement in hip hop is minimal at best. Get over it.

IMO, yes.
I feel it should include all Africans in the diaspora who consider themselves black.

Black people been toasting and rapping since slavery.




Hustlers rapped since forever. A few Jamaicans or Bajans here and there won't change that. Period.

I said nothing about rapping. I said with out qualifiers, the statement that Jamaicans have minimal contributions to hip hop is false.

No. YOU have yours and WE have ours.

its Black History.


So what, Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Dominican Republic, etc can go kick rocks?

New Orleans got plenty of AA whos parents immigrated from Haiti, like im not sure wht you're saying?

So a black person from Jamaica gets more love than a black person from Cuba this month?

Yall make no goddamn sense

Like yall came from the same CONTINENT!

And i understand that i'm puerto rican and my black blood is thin but, meanwhile there are black people all over the world being treated bad still today in 2016.

People getting killed.

It shouldnt be just about Americans from our past, it should be about all blacks from everywhere.

Jamaicans live in Jamaica. Some Jamaican Americans have contributed to hip hop.But BY AND LARGE hip hop is an African-American creation.

 

[Bigbigguy]

Yup. In my high school they brought up blacks from all over the world

Being 20% black 80% Iberian don't make you black and don't make us brothers.

No I don't.

 

[BigMan]

No I don't.

Do you understand the difference between these two statements that you made

Jamaicans live in Jamaica. Some Jamaican Americans have contributed to hip hop.But BY AND LARGE hip hop is an African-American creation.

No I don't.

Folks like Arturo Schomburg, Roberto Clemente, Sonia Sanchez, Felipe Luciano who celebrated and embrace their Blackness and builted with AA's , should be.
