The First Gangsta Rap Group was in the 1930s

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Hip-hop started in NYC...all this other shyt you're talking is typical revisionist garbage... everybody wanna claim something (especially in regards to hip-hop) to seem important..

they should have never gave you Medgar Evers community college nikkas access to the computers in the library

Interview with AFRIKA BAMBATTA

Red Bull Music Academy Daily

When you started the Zulu Nation, at first it was a breaking crew.

Yeah. It was a B-boy, male and female crew. You had the Zulu Kings and the Zulu Queens, and the Shaka Kings and the Shaka Queens. And they were really tearing shyt up. Nobody was really beating them, and they started winning contests and break dance shows throughout the city.

Which year is this?

That was ’70s – ’74, ’75, ’76, ’77.

Where are your parents from? Are they from the Caribbean?

My parents are from New York, but my roots is from the Caribbean. From Jamaica and Barbados.

So were there elements of Jamaican culture in your family?

Always. Jamaican and Barbados. My family and Herc’s family and Grandmaster Flash’s family.

How much were you aware of Jamaican sound system culture?

Oh, all the time. I’m one of the first. In fact I am the one in hip-hop who started playing all the Jamaican music in the hip-hop parties. More than Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash. Even though Herc is from the Islands he was focused more on America, on funky stuff.

 

[get these nets]

Brehs were dope on the mic.

this is great....that flow is impeccable


As far as content, Lloyd Price's Stagger Lee was the first gangster record though

Hip-hop started in the Bronx, NY bruh... this revisionist history of it starting in Jamaica, Africa etc came about because of the impact and success of the genre so now everybody wanna claim they're the true originators of the aforementioned.


Hip-hop started in the Bronx, NY...located in NYC and that's THAT.

Just accept it for what it is and move on, nobody will ever believe or care about what you're saying except YOU and others alike who love revisionist tales.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

....In NYC....



You fakkit cali nikkas been jealous and salty from day one and been the biggest haters. We rejected y'all bytch asses from jump so I can't blame y'all. At least the south manned up and didn't stay crying about it unlike ya'll nikkas.

Cali could never start a culture like hip hop. NYC nikkas are unique and cut from a different cloth.

But you're NOT a real new yorker.....real new yorkers are cultured

i lived on 166th and Washington with a gang of yardies and trinis on my block...

you woudn't had dare came out yo face and said such foolishness......your teeth would have got kicked in and YOU KNOW IT

that's why your introverted socially awkard self posts on the COLI with all this c00nish TRIBAL talk.......

nobody gives a rats azz about that in the streets....that's what made HIP HOP SO GREAT the blending of the BLACK CULTURES OF THE CARRIBEAN AND AMERICA

the 80s...90s golden age was soooog great with the dancehall hip hop mash up heard from church ave in bk to white plains road in the bx

you can always feel free to discuss this IN PERSON on the eastern parkway where i will be posted up for the LABOR DAY FESTIVITIES.....

trust me I COME DOLO

 

[get these nets]

Cacs are now claiming that talking blues was the first form of American "rapping", and that we stole it from them.

This is offensive to me because I'm old enough to remember when rap was treated like something people stepped in and wiped off their feet before walking into their house.
"No rap" policy on radio stations, having to stay up to watch Hot Tracks or listen to Magic or Red Alert to even know what the new records were.
White people embracing hip hop, and now trying to lay claim to it is all bullshyt .

 

[Black Haven]

"This is the music of a hip-hop band
Jazz, well you can call it that
But this jazz retains a new format
Point, where you misjudged us
Speculated, created a fuss
You've made the same mistake politicians have
Talkin' all that jazz"

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

and nuff respect to Jamaican bred...Bronx Ny fed soundsystem legend TONY SCREW of the legendary bronx soundsystem DOWNBEAT still upholding the values of hip hop ....

DEEJAYING...CLASHING....TOASTING (RAPPING) ......

Meanwhile the bronx c00nmama Cardi b. pushes the envelope on THOT HOP and French Montana made a career off of doing his best Southern Trap Rap renditions

so called native new yorkers abandoned the principles of hip hop so therefore you have no claim to it's orgins anymroe


TONY SCREW DO THO

Krs one on battle rap originating from the dozens game.

The Dozens - Wikipedia

The Dozens is a game of spoken words between two contestants, common in black communities of the United States, where participants insult each other until one gives up. It is customary for the Dozens to be played in front of an audience of bystanders, who encourage the participants to reply with increasingly egregious insults in order to heighten the tension and, consequently, make the contest more interesting to watch. Playing the Dozens is also known as "blazing", "hiking", "roasting", "capping", "clowning", "ranking", "ragging", "rekking", "crumming", "sounding", "checkin", "joning", "woofing", "wolfing", "sigging", or "signifying",[1][2] while the insults themselves are known as "snaps

According to sociologist Harry Lefever and journalist John Leland, the game is almost exclusive to African Americans; other ethnic groups often fail to understand how to play the game and can take remarks in the Dozens seriously.[note 1] Both males and females participate, but the game is more commonly played among males of varying social status​

Say whaaaat?​
