Those who never knew a world without Hip-hop taking it for granted...

Kurtis blow was before my time but the breaks is a classic

actually.. hip-hop started in a few different factions.. folks like The Last Poets were doing things very much similar to what people now call cyphers, rhyming words/slang in the early-70s(there were also some earlier pioneers before them, who kinda fell through the cracks.. one guy was from Ohio/midwest.. forgot his name at the moment.. @TheHonorableSKJ might remember who)..

as far as DJs breaking beats, and speaking over records- that originated in the islands..

alot of folks were making hip-hop esque music well before it developed into a genre(Herbie Hancock was making break beats back in the day).. i think thats the most important factor people tend to gloss over..

That's like the early cultural underpinnings of hip-hop. we could keep tracing it back further and further until we get to some peeps in africa beating drums and doing the early beginnings of twerking.

its interesting..in a lot of other genres, the fans, even the younger ones attempt to learn about the history of the genre, the artist and musicians who influenced the artists of their time, who pushed the genre forward and the pioneers that laid the ground for artists to build off of. where as in hip hop it seems like the majority of the newer generation of younger hip hop "fans" just don't, they don't care.
