How did African Americans become the "coolest" race in the world?

[K.O.N.Y]

Sex tourism is a CULTURAL thing. Women across the world dig Jamaican style.

Not sure what you're tryna defy cool as

But generally cool guys get laid regularly or have p*ssy thrown at them.

Am I right?

Have you been reading the thread

The concept of something being "cool","coolest","cooler" literally comes from AA culture. Something even i didnt know at first

Dancehall artist been jacking rap/hip hop swag in style, approach and dress since the late eighties

And lastly its been established long before hip hop

It's actually not that complicated, African music is naturally rythmic, people are compelled to move, African-American fashion was born from poverty and wearing and modifying the clothing of former masters and the traditions passed down from Africa. African-Americans have been playing in orchestras, in bands going back to the 1900's. Spearheaded the Jazz movement, then blues, then rock and roll to Soul/R and B and to hip-hop today, we have always been the foundation for American culture and once America became the new barometer for the the world it spread from there.

blues than jazz

minor gripe it just irks me when people,not just this post, put the blackest of all music genres after jazz. Cacs have a habit of doing this
jazz is a student of the blues not the other way around. Blues is americas first genre

Not trying to say you personally are a cac

In my opinion. The most influential Black ethnicities in the 20th / 21st century would go something like this.

1. AAs ( Hip Hop, Rap, Jazz, Rock etc )
2. Jamaicans ( Reggae, Ska, Dancehall etc )

For Asians it would go something like this

1. Japanese ( anime, manga, video games etc )
2. Chinese ( Chinese food, Karate Movies etc)
3. Koreans ( Kpop, Kdramas, MMORPGS, Webtoons )


People underestimate Soft Power.

there is a reason foreign blacks often claim to be afram and not Jamaican when they're abroad to get laid/bag chicks

Not sure what you're tryna defy cool as

cool as in hip or in style

But generally cool guys get laid regularly or have p*ssy thrown at them.

Am I right?

see my post from above. Drop ten jamaicans and ten aframs men off in asia or europe and I'll bet the aframs gets more play

i dont see how you can say house though
House is to global music what soccer is to sports

TBH like I answered at some point I really wasn't under the impression that house and other genres (other than pop and HH) were that big in Asia, but like I said it's just an impression because I've never been there

Also I don't know that house is that big now in Europe for example. It was huge in the 90s, no doubt, but now? I don't think so, but I have no problem if someone says oherwise, I just don' hear much house anywhere...then again I don't really go to clubs

I don't see white women flying to America saying they wna get fukked by AAs

Like who?

People been jocking since before Jazz.

it's started in the mid 1800's minstrel era but grew on a larger global scale when ragtime took over

idk about all that

Dancehall cats eventually developed their distinctive own style but one can't deny the impact HipHop had/has on it since the 80's.

For sure, but I think the American influences really started from the 90s on

Many make the argument there's too much American influence

You could spot them more in the 90s because HipHop was becoming a machine by then but the 80's is where the influence occurred to birth modern dancehall (digital beats and syncopated to the beat toasting)

Jamaican's heard early HipHOp records which shifted the Jamaican Toasting styles syncopation which is why they went from







..........then they heard American Rap in the late 1970's






...and then in the early 1980's modern jamaican dancehall was born when they started using HipHop-Rap style syncopation to the beat when the jamaica toasting was always freelanced/not relating directly to the beat










this is basically all confirmed by Supercat

Supercat basically hints at it here

Super Cat was saying specifically that Rappers Delight was HUGE in Jamaica.
