For those who say Kool Herc wasn't the godfather of Hip Hop.. who is?

I realize that none of this happened in a vacuum and whatever Herc did was inspired by earlier things. But I feel like we need to establish some kind of origin story. For as long as I can remember the Kool Herc story was it.

What's the alternative?

Riff170 was rolling with Herc, Phase, StayHigh149, Coke La Rock etc...in the late 1960s/early1970s. Are you going to tell me he's wrong too?


Riff is the earliest flyer guy of HipHop

Phase2 said this about the Black and Puerto Rican relations of his time

Riff170 left these comments on this video at the Disco King Mario channel...the guy he's talking with (dreval) knows Dj John Brown, Grand Wizard Theodore, Flash, Afrika Bambata and he also knew Disco King Mario

That's my Webster PAL flyer... Riff170 piece. January 21, 1978 jam. Herc and Smokey battled at Webster. To be fair, Smokey used to be the main DJ there on the 9s.. The apartment parties at his place on Grant Ave were legendary. On my life, I believe the genesis of it all was at the Tunnel... the Spades, Monk, Kool Dee, Mario, Herc, Coke, Smokey.. Phase2, Wallace Dee, Bosco Rock, and the FIRST first generation bboys.. they all partied there listening to John Brown. John Brown wasn't the first DJ.. but he was the first to play what he played in that atmosphere. That atmosphere created by the Spades and burning and dancing and the culture of the era. It all came together at the Tunnel and Smokey, Herc, and Mario all brought it back to their hood. That's why they're all claiming to be first. They took that spark from the tunnel and lit the fire in their areas.

Been telling people for 2 years now. U also factor in, Robert Hevelow was a bartender at the Tunnel. When it closed in May of 73, and not too long after he took John Brown as his first DJ at the new club he opened...The Hevelo! By 75, JB, went away to college to play ball. Herc filled the void. The rest is history!

@dreval7957 Yessir.. and Smokey also played at the Hevelow.. both Herc and Smokey also played at the Parkside Plaza in Mt. Eden which was also owned by Bob. Like you said... JB went off to college to play ball, Smokey went to the military... Herc was left. And it's not that Herc doesn't deserve his props but there were other players in this (Smokey and Mario) that were his contemporaries... And John Brown, of course, who was the lightening rod through which it all funneled.

@jd-pt1xx , Facts...Believe me I know. Been to early Mario, Bam, Flash, n Herc parties...plus John Brown n I speak periodically. He and his partner definitely kicked the culture off at the Tunnel! Respect!

The founder of the Black Spades remembers Disco King Mario/Black Spades partying at the Tunnel pre-1973

I don't even know what this means. Did you alert me in here because you wanted to answer the question I asked in the other thread in this thread instead? So are you going to ever answer the question? I'll ask it again. Where were you born and raised? We know you not from NYC so where you from?
