    John Brown was maybe the first, for the young kids in The Bronx. But NOWHERE near the first. There was a Downtown Disco scene. The NYC juice bars. The Brooklyn Disco scene. The downtown gay Disco scene.
    John Brown was never the first. Just the first Herc saw.

      Correcto 1000% and no doubt about it, because first all fba didn't create or invent DJing just like they didn't create or invent Graffiti, Breaking and MCing and that is 1,000000 facts

      ​@randee4550 Just search Vaudeville, and you will see started rapping in the 1800s Vaudeville is the birth of everything when it comes to those art before Vaudeville there was American folk music, which has anything to do with fba creating it. anyway Vaudeville is actually the beginning of USA entertainment culture, the musical, rhyming, acro dance culture basically what started it all in USA

    Stop taking what u learned from Scoreboardkeepers and bringing it to your platform to act like u know what u talking about. Show us the culture from the Puerto Rican community that yall intergrated into black culture to create hip hop. Stop confusing your audience, doing what u see someone else doing in no way proves creation. James Brown is black culture his music is black culture his dance is black culture show me something from your culture that was infused with our culture. U can’t.

    I’m a DJ from the lower Eastside of Manhattan and I started in 1974 and got my first club job in 1979 at a place called hellfire my experience was that the black or African-American DJs that were playing at the time going back to the early 70s and my sister used to take me to a party that was promoted by the Dow twins all the time when I was a kid way before 1974 and they had what was called the MC master of ceremonies he would be talking hyping up the crowd and the DJ was a separate person who would be kind of running the brakes extending the brakes so the MC was not talking over vocals and that’s how I basically saw it I was in Metro record in the 70s and then by the early 80s I was in for the record and so I worked at the loft doing decorations with Nicky Siano so I know about the loft and the paradise garage and all that comes with that era and that’s what I saw the African-American DJs always had that MC and it was a different vibe the Latino DJs of course they were playing southside and we all remember the clubs you know that everybody was going to but to me it was more of a black thing for the DJ to be cutting up breaks while the MC was talking over it and that’s how the idea of rapping started because he was being sort of flamboyant with his words and his appearance and the DJ was basically just playing the music and I did not see that on the Latin side so that’s my experience and that’s my two cents of this conversation but great video and great information.

    Okay so other DJs played music...AND?
    See, this is the blatant intellectual dishonesty and disrespect of African American culture Truth Savior and others speak of. To diminish things we inspired down to a "nothing burger" or grandfather in an alternate reality that people who were there can't confirm. For example the mistranslation of Batch's account of TT-Rock to a mere trip and fall though he and people like BigBoom, a Rican b-boy of original TBB who also witnessed TT-ROCK, never said that.
    It's like just nevermind Frank Rojas saying the dance came from "the brothas down the block", and the "we the Puerto Ricans like to do what the blacks did". That somehow just goes "over the head". Then you and others persist to label Rock dance as strictly a Puerto Rican thang from inception.
    Like with the Melbourne shuffle. Sure the white girls of the 1990-present are dope in Europe doing this, but anybody who knows will tell you it's basically C-walking (Cripwalking) from a African American street gang, but sped up. It was created by original member SugarBear in like 1972
    We have footage in the 80s of them doing this in LA California

      fba culture musical culture started after Vaudeville, which came to USA with the French when they used to own New Orleans, Vaudeville is the Beginning of USA entertainment and art forms like Poetry, Rhyming on a beat, the y even started the what we call today rapping, also Vaudeville created the Acro Dance movement which is where the roots of Breaking in USA start from, Vaudeville is the Birth of USA Musical and art forms entertainment.

      I rest my case on the blatant downplaying and disrespect of original African American creativity and alternate histories grandfathered into the story.
      Blacks performed in Congo Square from the 1700s through after slavery. People came there to watch what we did. Vaudeville for African Americans was 1880-1930s.
      Congo Square
      Beginning in the late 1740s, the site originated as a social and cultural meeting ground for the city's enslaved African American population. In 1817, legislation was passed which permitted enslaved African Americans to meet for dancing on Sundays in Congo Square..
      They used the Djembe drum (African predecessor to congas. Ggle image 1818 drawing of Congo Square drum. There was a drum ban for slaves at some point after the 1739 uprising).
      Now check the timeline.
      Congas and bongos were invented by Afro Cubans in the latter 1800s.
      Black Americans were doing it when they hit the shores of America with Djembe.
      Just altering the facts and moving the goalposts around on the timeline to strip African Americans of our unique cultural creations. This is blatant disrespect
      False things said to to "deAfricanAmerican -ize" the music, dance and culture
      TT-ROCK tripping and falling in 75 as the first floor move in breaking (it was a deliberate routine)
      ZuluKings not doing floor moves and minor spins in 75
      (Willie Will, a Puerto Rican and founding member of Rockwell Association- concurrent with TBB, says he seen these foundational floor moves with names come from ZuluKings)
      DJ Mario being Boricua ( family says no)
      Crazy Legs saying Grand Mixer DXT is part Puerto Rican (we ain't heard him mention that yet and he has chimed in on the hip-hop origin story)
      Herc playing Caribbean music (Herc said he didn't)
      Bongo Band wasn't playing funk style with bongos but Latin
      Rock Dance being absolutely Puerto Rican ( Rojas distinguishses what the brothas did down the block from what he did culturally as a Puerto Rican)
      Flyting having connections to ghetto black youth doing the dozens
      Funk influenced by Latin percussionist

      New Orleans, founded by France in 1718 on the mouth of the Mississippi, is usually remembered as the center of French influence in the United States. However, it owes just as much, if not more, to the period of Spanish rule, which began in 1762 with its transfer to Spain by the French and ended in 1803.
      When did New Orleans belong to Spain?
      New Orleans belonged to Spain from 1762 to 1803. It was transferred to Spain by the French in 1762 and remained under Spanish rule until 1803 when it was sold to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase
