The fukk does this nikka want exactly, he want rappers to kick Joe and Busta outta hiphop?

FOH with this corny divisive shyt

Oh brother

 

[get these nets]

Trash

Nobody with any credibility has ever said that "Hip-Hop started in Jamaica or Puerto Rico". What they have said, and what the facts point to is that the central hip hop scene emerged out of the Bronx, NY....and that people from those two places contributed to the forming of the culture.

Dude in the video seems too old to be posting vids based on misguided premises.

What I will never understand is......people played dance music in Chicago clubs before Frankie Knuckles(from the BX) got there and began spinning, but he is UNIVERSALLY given credit as a (the) central figure in forming the House Music scene. Never heard one person say "bu bu but we were doing it before ".
Yet, dudes try to discredit Herc as a (the) central figure in Hip Hop forming.

First off there's plenty of rappers from that era that big up hip hop culture and the history

Second, fukk he talking about Busta Rhymes? Dude was born and raised in Brooklyn and you'd be hard pressed to find someone more "hip hop" than Busta. He don't count because his parents was Jamaican? Slick Rick was born in England to Jamaican parents, he ain't hip hop?

Fat Joe say some wild shyt because he one of them dudes that constantly talking just to talk, but he more hip hop and contributed more to the culture than anyone I ever seen call him a culture vulture. Like, who this dude in the clip? What he done to call himself more "hip hop" than Fat Joe?

I hate these boom bop nikkas.

If you don't like the shyt that's out, go find some shyt that you'll like.

I am so confused on what this dude's even trying to ask

 

[Flav]

It’s enough documentaries out to learn if you want. Then he mentioned Busta Rhymes? That fool is high as fk just rambling.

I’m surprised Busta didn’t show up in that clip and start barking on that fool.

Dumb ass take.

No one did more teaching on the culture and its roots than MC's from the 80's and 90's. And back then, they were doing it for way less money than the generations that followed. Sometimes for nothing. That era was the most musically educational for Hip Hop youth, than any other era. So dude is just talking to talk.

Hip Hop had the potential to go a different direction, but I do think those older gatekeepers let in a lot of fukkery that is showing more and more every year. Too late to do anything about it now ultimately.

For those confused:

1. He is down with Tariq, he runs the comedy stuff at the museum. I'm 70% sure he's involved in the Hip-Hop documentary Tariq is doing.

2. He means why aren't FBA people/people that were there in the culture speaking out against Joe's 50/50 claim, and Busta's "Hip-Hop is Jamaican" claim. Nobody is countering any of these false claims, and it looks like it will take a 3rd party (Tariq) to come in and set the record straight on a wide scale. The only person that matters I've heard keep it real was Grandmaster Caz on Vlad, and even he chilled on the subject a tiny bit, surely because it could fukk up his bag since he isn't getting the support someone of his stature deserves.

Legitimate question, just not articulated as well as possible.
