70s was the best time for me. It was all new. Rap wasn’t even on wax yet. We just went to jams and partied. Everything was raw. Everyone was doing the freak dance.

I wish I had a time machine and visit this era of hip hop

[PaulShalahm]

Hip Hop started in the Bronxdale projects in 1971 with Disco King Mario. Kool Herc didn't start Hip Hop. He's been selling that lie for quite some time.

[tonybone]

Herc is on multiple videos saying “the parties were already happening when he got to America he just extended the break beats”

[lirtdj]

That was not Cool herc's party he was invited as a DJ. Mario started that before him, and people were already in the park before that party

I was there . I lived on university Ave 170st . both kool Herc and coke la rock went to Taft high school. Herc thru a party for his sister's birthday. It was at the community center on sedgwick Ave. It cost 25cent to get in. Coke was the hype man Herc was the DJ . They started to get some notoriety, this made their heads swell . I'm not going to say it was all good with them because it wasn't. Herc always had this im better than attitude . I'm not trying to put him down because I know some of you people reading this worship him . Most of you believe Herc started hip hop, when it was actually started by and Era of different people. Kool Aid, stay High 149 the Saint. Pete DJ Jones. And a host of others that I can't remember. Hip hop is born out of different gangs, the black spades, the savage skulls. The black pearls, the savage nomads. It was born out of rebellion against police brutality, out of the government flooding black neighborhoods with heroine and cheap wine. It so much more to it than what you really believe. Hank from the sugar hill gang lived in the next building to me. I can write a book about hip hop and at least some hip hop legends. I was there when it started and I've seen the metamorphosis of what it was and what it has become today. I'm not kool with everybody I've met in the industry. I respect how they have taken something and changed the world. I can't say they changed it for the better or the worse, but they have made a difference in the history of the world . Kool Herc and Coke la Rock is part of that change.

How did Coke La Rock get written out of the history of HipHop, but Kool Herc didn’t?

[ramessessportscast]

They sampled funk and RnB beats played the breaks from the songs through parties and they were not the only ones doing that they used to attend other parties that were doing it.

[xeropunt]

it’s about the FUNKiest music you can find.

1. People
2. Music
3. Raps

Black Americans invented hip hop... Jamaicans came with a new sound and influenced it ...big difference

[Jon-BEDM]

Incredible musicians, innovators, American originals, with a big shoutout to Jamaica! LEGENDS.

[Ocelotonatiuh]

REAL Hip Hop music. The type of music that'll make a bboy do a headspin.

[jayceinfinitealgharhythmns]

There was no “so early in the game” when they did it! The game simply didn’t exist! They started the game.

[brandonray]

Kool Herc didn't create hip hop. It already existed.

[FBA_AllTHEWAY]

It’s documented The seed was planted long before Herc. He actually copied what was already being done.

[tyr]

Their is countless videos of black Americans rapping and breakdancing between the years of 1920 to 1970, , meaning kool hert is not the foundation, , but black Americans are the foundation...duh 🙄....Get yo facts right....

[themadking_rbg]

Hip hop is just an extension of black American culture end of story “if you’re Jamaican or Puerto Rican and living in America you started listening to what black American youth was listening to because we damn sho wasn’t listening to your music other then bob marley “

[icecreambeats]

Black Americans created hip hop. Us Latinos didn’t create it nor black Caribbeans. It’s American music. Give black Americans their props.

the last poets inspired coke lark to babble on the mic then Melli Mel structured the first 16 bars
