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

[Rawtid]

I will always love the Beatnuts and Big Pun. Fat Joe had some hits, but he’s not memorable. Angie will only ever be known as a radio DJ.

 

[I_Q]

DMC is not half Dominican. He's adopted and was told his mother was but then found out she wasn't

 

[Hey_zeus]

They're not that good overall. The few good ones are discussed.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Aside from Pun & Joe, what other full Latino was/is nice on the mic? Their really ain’t any.

 

[TaxCollector13459]

If joe was on the top 40 list rn he wouldnt be saying shyt tho ...

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Answer is easy.

Most of the Latinos in hip hop are Afro-Latino or mixed Afro-Latino/ADOS.

If some 95% Spanish, Canelo or Antonio Banderas or Ricky Martin looking dude was rocking the mic....Latinos would be all over hip-hop claiming it. Since it's Afro-Latinos mostly, they won't ride with it since it's mayate music.

I can't think of too many really white Latinos doing it up big.

 

[Smashius Clay]

Nems, Clyde Guevara, and ‎Da Inphamus Amadeuz are all latino, right?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Pop smoke (Rip) was half Puerto Rican?

nationality isn't race tho

he was Black

 

[MoveForward]

Here this fat fukk goes again… He’s just salty no one holds Pun in the same regards as Jay, Nas, and Big. He’s jealous of black entertainers and tries to down play our legends like when his dumb ass called DJ Khaled the new Quincy Jones… His right hand man is also an admitted violent racist…

 

[⠀X ⠀]

That’s because most people who are half Latino, just consider ourselves Black. It’s the ones with self hate, who go overboard Trying to be something other than Black.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

They mention all the half Latinos In hip hop. Lloyd Banks, Fabolous, NORE,Jim Jones, Pop Smoke, Kevin Gates, Juelz. The one that blew my mind was DMC, had no idea he was Dominican

They also speak about Pioneers like Charley Chase, Crazy Legs, Bobbito. Watch the video

he's not

"It became something like Indiana Jones and you have to go back and solve the mystery. So I decided to document it to help anybody out who wants to find out their identity," McDaniels says.

After four months he finally got the answer he had been looking for.

Her name, Berncenia Lovelace of nearby Staten Island, a single mother whose parents had made her give him up.

After a nervous call to his birth mother, McDaniels came away uplifted.

He set up a meeting for the following Saturday and after a week that seemed as long as the 41 years they were apart, mother and child were reunited.

"I was happy. I was happy and feeling a lot of love energy from him. It was great, really, really great," Lovelace says.

McDaniels had gained a mother, a sister and two brothers and found out he was not Dominican. But most important, he learned he had the support of his adoptive mom.

Although his journey was complete, McDaniels' his mission was just beginning. He went on to sponsor a camp for orphaned and adopted children and went back to the studio to make music, returning to a familiar source of inspiration.

This is the equivalent of Darius Rucker being mad black people don’t get enough recognition in country music.

[get these nets]

Haven't watched the discussion, but going by past threads, a bunch of dudes who don't care about Hip Hop history otherwise will act outraged and offended.

Then, when a genuine thread about Hip Hop history comes up, they will avoid it because it's not something they give a fukk about.
