For almost my whole life I was told DJ Kool Herc was credited with being one of the pioneers and creators of Hip Hop.
If he isn't, I wish the discussion was more on the individuals who did. The focus should've been on giving those individuals credit rather than taking credit from other groups of people.
Nope, before that it was Afrika Bambaataa
credited as the father of Hip Hop. Later people started to say it’s Herc. This is why we always saw Bam in these interviews in the 80s and 90s.
This made the Zulu War Chant song “important”.
Herc had the parties and the best music, the Black Spades attended. The songs we know they used to break dance to, Apache etc. Herc had them, but a Black American sidekick gave them to Herc. This is the story unknown.
Bam had the records we now know that have been sampled throughout the 80s and 90s. That’s why certain beats have been sampled and looped on record during the ‘80s and ‘90s.
