This is obviously a false statement. As Herc as an important Dj in the Bronx era. He played the music the B Boys (Bronx Boys) wanted. The Black Spades and 5%ers.James Brown influenced hip hop infinitely more then this mythical DJ Herc that no one ever has played or listened to in the history of any cookout or party in Black American history.

The music was (Black) American, but it was a particular style. It was the “outcast” music they embraced. It’s obvious you’re not from the Bronx. Neither am I, but the time I knew people from the Bronx (who already been involved in Hip Hop).
There is a reason why in the early days 99 % of rap music came from the Bronx, as it started to spread to other Borrows like Harlem, Brooklyn etc. And from there to other States first East Coast, later West Coast, Midwest etc.
Now people are just saying anything.
