      G Rap is on everybodys list here in nyc, real hiphop fans recognize that. The dudes you talking about are those people who just know about the mainstream culture and mention Pac Big and Em constantly. They have no clue how many rappers are or were around who were better.

    "For anyone who could understand this, Rakim is to hip hop what Charlie Parker is to jazz. He didn't start it, but he absolutely revolutionized it and set the bar for every MC/musician's skills and technique afterwards."

    In no order it's rakim (the god), kane (the player), krs (the teacher), g rap (the gangster), chuck d (the revolutionary general). top 5. FACTS. after that it's opinion.

    Even G. Rap had to be honest and say Nas took his style more from Rakim. Rakim mixed that "intelligence" with street smart, and that's what Nas did on his first album. No one wants to give Rakim his proper respect. I'm glad G. Rap was honest about that.

    Spirituals, Ragtime, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock n Roll, Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Disco, Punk, House and of course Rap and Hip Hop---all enjoy well documented African American roots coupled with undeniable Black American influence---whether directly or indirectly..
    Latinos -- Puerto Ricans particularly -- please explain how you co-created or co-invented yet another installment in the legacy of Black Musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't co-create or co-invent any of the elements or ingredients of the 14 or so African American music forms that preceeded it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of African American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout, or even prior to the previous 14 or so African American music forms that are mentioned above? Yet then, all of a sudden--and out of nowhere, lying latinos and jamaicans slither along and falsely claim latinos and/or puerto ricans and jamaicans co-created and co-invented Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by Dr. Derrick Colon, radical latino, Fat Joe and numerous other un-informed and envious latinos---which are claims that latinos never mentioned, verbalized or asserted during its inception in the early 1970's)---latinos claims of "50/50--half & half co-creation and co-invention just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly coming under heavy scrutiny which is leading to these claims being easily debunked--widespread. Nice try though latinos, puerto ricans and jamaicans.
    Make it make sense Latinos.
