Fat joe and Angie Martinez speak about Latinos being left out of Hip Hop Conversation

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

Pop smoke (Rip) was half Puerto Rican?

Pop Smoke is half Afro-Panamanian, who are basically Jamaicans if you look at their history

 

[DatLBCGuy562]

Mothafukkas trying to include themselves in and take credit for Black music again

 

[Bunchy Carter]

I promis you in the future the Middle Easterns are going to complain that they are left out of Hip Hop because of Dj Khalad.

 

[Vandelay]

Latinos in hip-hop don't wear it on they sleeve unless they obviously Latino like Pun or Joe. No one really knows Fab is Dominican or Nore half PR, and a gang of other NY rappers that got Latin in them. Ain't no one denying them. In NYC and northeast in general that shyt blends and there's no real emphasis on it.

 

[ogc163]

This is corny, only Pun was an elite MC most Latinos are subpar on the mic.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Little Hispanic roots? Everyone he named is HALF Latino. Meaning a parent was full Latino, not a distant cousin

DMC is dominican and he's one half of one of the most legendary hip hop groups of all time in RUN DMC

Bro don't waste your time.

This is only a discussion outside NY.

[Gritsngravy]

this seems like a conversation that new york hip hop needs to have

Yea, they the only ones who could really speak on it
From the outside looking in, Latinos are represented in hip hop it just not necessarily open about it, like how a lot of them east coast dudes got roots from the islands but we don’t notice unless somebody says so, we look at you as black

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

Cypress Hill

Cypress Hill ain't in the conversation. Only white boys bump their shyt.

They're only relevant because of DJ Muggs's production

 

[UpAndComing]

"Latino" isn't a race

 

[RARI_Godwind]

Well if they are and always have been a part of hip hop, who’s fault is that?

 

[I Really Mean It]

They haven't had that many really dope rappers to really leave a mark besides Pun, Joe and SPM (who is never mentioned due to his situation)

What about Nore?

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Why won’t Angie speak about working with Yusuf Hawkins killer for 20+ years at Hot97?

 

[Frieza666]

Don’t forget 6ix9ine

 

[AJD]

Mofos always trying to eat outta the little plate black folk got or include themselves in some shyt that marginalize folks efforts.
