Sounded like he saying he followed herc he came up on herc jams? I got an interview in a magazine called hip hop connection uk mag where herc says bam flash none of them was there before him he said "they can't tell you what was going on in 69" or 70 71" you need to do an interview with herc
@@TheCulture..Starts1971 cholly rock just said herc was the man who understood them while other foundational black americans didnt even want to play the records the bboys wanted. Thats probably why.
@@joshuawisdom9694 Herc took was being done(the break) and built on it. By paying attention to what records and what part of the records the crowd(early b-boys) responded to. Herc catered to the gangsters/early b-boys. Nothing wrong with people wrong from the islands taking credit for and being proud of DJ Kool Herc and what contributed. But to take credit as the creator of HipHop culture(when it was already happening) is inaccurate. He laid the foundation and format for Hip Hop music based on what FBA’s had already done(funk, soul, r&b) and were doing(djaying, graffiti and b-boying). He didn’t focused on playing records per se just the extension of the breaks. So nothing wrong with taking credit for a what a fellow countryman created and contributed to an already existing subculture but for some to make claims that Hip Hop music comes from Jamaica is incorrect. Much love and respect to our brothers and sisters from Caribbean.
@@sethdecible no one said it xame from jamaica. At least im not saying that. But, like what rahiem from the furious five said, if it werent for grandmaster flash and herc, there would be no hip hop. Another thing, this notion that hip hop came from the south is the biggest farce in this whole debate. According to luke campbell, who is uncle luke, hip hop didnt exist in the south at all, and he, uncle luke, created the first hip hop southern record label. So, that should tell you that hip hop wasnt there at all. Until herc and flash put it together as how we know it, thats when it became hip hop.
@@joshuawisdom9694 A few things here. Firstly, I didn’t say that you, yourself, said that. I’m speak in general based on comments I’ve read from other commentators. Secondly, I believe I had already acknowledged DJ Kool Herc’s impact on laying the foundation for Hip Hop music and of course Grandmaster Flash who built on what he did that’s without question. My point here is that this is a cultural movement that came from many individuals not just one. Disco King Mario and the Black Spades/early B-boys, Kool DJ Dee and Tyrone the Mixologist, DJ Smokey and the Smoke-a trons, DJ Kool Herc and the early B-boys, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambatta and others not mentioned have all contributed to the creation of Hip Hop culture. Hip Hop music is the voice and sound track of the culture. Thirdly, I am familiar with Luke Campbell aka Luke Skywalker (before he became uncle Luke if I’m correct) and 2 live Crew. I remember when they came out in the eighties. I agree with you about the notion of Hip Hop coming from the south is false. The Bronx is the birth place of Hip Hop culture and music, however, some of those who helped to create the culture did migrate from the south e.g. Mario, Dee and Tyrone to name a few. James Brown known as the God father of Soul and if not the father of Funk music then one of the principal originators of the genre was born in South Carolina and raised in Georgia. Funk having roots in New Orleans and Soul having been born in Memphis Tennessee, I can understand why some would come to that conclusion. However, we have to keep in here that what we’re discussing is Herc’s impact on laying the foundation for Hip Hop music not the culture. Because it was the the culture that inspired him to do what he did. The heavy use of Funk, Soul and R&B that is the musical foundation of Hip Hop music Kool Herc made sure of that.
you keep asking about colors these were a st term meaning uniform or flags nothing to do with light colors man Blk & white are considered colors anyway...
CHOLLY ROCK is the TRUTH BE TOLD history book ..

Nothing better than hard documentation! PRESERVE THE TRUE CULTURE... dont let these vultures chop up the history, causing bboys misery..
Great hip hop history

Sometimes you have to interview someone other than a DJ or an MC to get the truth.
Good stuff

Why are people from the islands trying to take credit or throw themselves in the equation of creating or starting what hip hop is
thats a good question
