Years ago I’ve read about Mario being PR. So I got trapped as well. And it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America. Make it make sense… 😅

SAY IT AGAIN .. it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America....AGAIN... it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America....WORD!!
WTF is an "Afro Latino"? Is that some new, "woke" BULLSHIT, like "Latinx"? The WHOLE concept of classifying Latinos, by skin color, is an black American concept, that y'all been used to, since it was you guys, that dealt with segregation, Jim Crow, etc Our countries didn't have that shit. It actually took an "Afro" Puerto Rican, to teach you about Black CULTURE! Y'all didn't even have a concept of that, BEFORE Arturo Schomburg, put that into perspective. Go to the Schomburg Center, in Harlem. You might learn something.
You're right. Google Pigmeat Markhams 1968 record "Here Comes The Judge" you'll hear an 1980s style Rap intro on the 45 Record long before Rap became popular. Lol Motown pioneered the Disco sound ( Orchestrated Soul Dance Music) by the late 1960s By the 1970s you had Philly International Records, Barry White, Issac Hayes, Van McCoy and those 1970s Blaxploitation movie soundtracks. How could this guy be king of disco when he didn't originate the Music. Clout chasing lol
It was all good when they thought that he was Rican. They were ready to crown him as the original King of HipHop. Don't try and backtrack now.😂😂😂😂 Much love you to , Phase, and Big Shout-out to Disco King Mario family for setting the record straight. They were trying to desperately strip the Black American family of history and culture.
Everyone thought that the Leutanant Governor of NY Mr . Delgado was Puerto Rican, but in fact his dad is from Cabo Verde Islands West Africa, which is an old Portuguese /Spanish territory.
For the record and for all you "Fulfilled by Amazon" peoples. The first DJ to bring Hip Hop to the NYC masses in the early 80's was "Mr. Magic" aka "John Rivas" a Puerto Rican!

Funny you don’t see any Ricans waving the flag at this event and available to tell Mario’s family that they are half Rican. The clowns 🤡 on the internet seem to know more about his family than the man’s daughter.
The truth of the matter is that "Disco King Mario" loved Puerto Ricans something fierce and quite frankly wanted to be Puerto Rican. Ask the real veterans of The Bronx. They will vouch for this!

Thank you beautiful Black people. I love ya'll. Let them know. We are the innovators, creators, trendsetters. We grew the food and prepared the meals, they just eating off our plates. Not even worth the argument with whom hop hip originated with.

*Even if Mario was half boriqua (which he ain't), the obvious fact still remains that his Black American side influenced what he did for hip hop...you don't hear anything "Spanish influenced" in the creation of hip hop in the early 1970s....*

@@RandomFlavor the debate is not about contribution. It’s about who this culture came from. Who created it. There is “no” dispute about the contribution.
@@absolute7250 It was created by a cultural collective that was profoundly rich and unique in NYC during this era. We may never quite frankly ever witness or experience a cultural dynamic of this magnitude ever again! Only people who feel culturally superior to other cultures, think that they alone created Hip Hop, or anything else for that matter...
@@RandomFlavor the elements are from one culture. Others contributed and added to it. And to say that means you think your superior is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. If Hispanics say they created meringue who am I to accuse them of thinking they are superior for saying that.
Modern day Puerto Ricans aren’t even the creators of their own genres. Everything they got comes from dark skinned African enslaved and/or dark skinned tiano.
😂 this Latin woman on here just making up stuff.. turning black Americans into immigrants. Talking about some receipts.. how you have receipts that’s not coming from none of Mario’s actual family members?
I got at least 5 friends an cousins name Mario full black American. Hip hop evolved from other black American music by black Americans. Believe you me Puerto Ricans wasn’t leaving that island running to the real south in the late 18 early 19 hundreds. His brother first cousin an niece nephew said they black Americans ain’t know Puerto Rico in them. That lady need to keep focusing on staying clean. An dude should make a public apology for going on Nori podcast an telling a bold face lie.
Mario's family said he is Not Puerto Rican. Period. Those Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans know that Mario is FBA but insist on telling lies. They know that FBA culture and experiences laid the foundation and creation of Hip Hop which influences the entire world and they can't handle that truth. They are exhibiting the behavior of people who are very insecure and jealous of our accomplishments. We have to continue to shut them down with their blatent lies and disrespect and stop welcoming them into our spaces.
Do not lie ... Chicago was had the largest problem population after NYC. No Spanish person was taken to NC during slavery. NC was a British territory as well. After that it was apart on the USA.@@RandomFlavor
I’m glad these brothers are around to tell the truth. We lost a lot of black men to addiction and jail from those times. Now the people who said they were bullied for how the dressed are saying there the creators. We’re finally getting brothers to tell the truth and stop their lies. Respect from Boston keep the history real.

You can say the same thing about Euro-American culture. America is the cultural hegemon, so whatever is created here from porn, to Jerry Springer, to Hollywood movies makes a big splash worldwide. If Brazil was the hegemon, then samba, Axe music, and capoeira would be dominant. Before the ascendency of rock and roll, Cuban rumba, cha cha, and mambo were massive worldwide, and these rhythms influenced jazz (go look up Machito, Chano Pozo & Dizzy, and the jazz cats that learned to play Afro Cuban polyrhythms), R&B (Mowtown added congas. Every time that you hear congas and bongos in black music, credit the Cubans and Puerto Ricans who brought it to NY. In fact, Puerto Rican music changed the drumming of African American music back in the 1930s) and the mixture in NY led to a more polyrhythmic kind of funk, go-go in DC (Chuch Brown was in a Latin band), and disco. African pop from the Congo to Senegal drew heavily from Afro Cuban music. Calypso was big in Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and played a major role in the modernization of highlife music. Dominican merengue influenced Haitian konpa direk, but the merengue most likely originated from the Haitian meringue. The Jamaicans always give credit to the r&b singers who influenced rock steady and reggae, specifically those from New Orleans. However, New Orleans' culture is heavily influenced by the culture of Haiti and Cuba. It's only the so-called FBA people that have issues with the cultural sharing that has been occurring with Afro-descendants throughout the Americas since the days of slavery. Finally, the roots of hip-hop lie in Jamaican DJ and dub music. It's easy to document, so stop trying to erase the history. We have our drums and hundreds of traditional rhythms in the Caribbean and Latin America, so we don't need to steal anyone's culture. Give credit!
Some quotes from Maurice White about his band EW&F. They are taken from the 2016 bio “Maurice White - My Life With Earth, Wind & Fire.” These quotes illustrate how influential Afro-Cuban and other Afro-Latin rhythms were in the creation of the bands’ sound. It’s also an example of the cross-pollination between the music of the Americas (African/black) that started with the introduction of the banjo from the Caribbean (by way of Africa), to Congo Square (A mostly Afro-Caribbean space in NO), and then to NY. White also said that EW&F had the best rhythm section (along with the Bar-kays because both bands were the most adept at playing Afro-Cuban music). Musicians aren’t into this FBA nonsense, they know where their influences come from. The roots are in Africa, but they stopped off in the Caribbean and were reintroduced here. Without the Caribbean influences, the music here is more European. “I reminded them of how vital s raw, animalistic, and tribal backbeat could be in moving an audience. Still, I had no desire to morph into a funk band. We were a world music band, full of rhythms from all over the world, especially Afro-Cuban.” Page 125 “Our contemporaries - bands like the Ohio Players, Mandrill, War, Kool & The Gang, Cameo, the Commodores, Con Funk Shun, and Parliament-Funkadelic- didn’t carry our cachet, which was partly musical and partly about business. The Isley brothers made great albums, and they did it without horns, which was notable in that era. Song after song, they created classics, but their live show was boring. Mandrill, possibly the most unsung band of the early 1970s, had an Afro-Cuban vibe that was undeniable. Unfortunately, they just couldn’t score the big hit that could have kept them moving higher.” Page 211 “I had always loved Latin music, from those days down in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood, but the deeper rhythms and the Afro-Cuban influence opened me up. This wasn’t Sergio Mendes and Brazil ’66. This was a tribal, earthy, barefoot-in-the-dirt experience. Brazil’s music contained a heavy emphasis on drumming. I discovered there were these little drum schools all over Brazil. I visited three of them and roamed around those rooms like I was a hall monitor in junior high. The talented young musicians had amazing flavor: I soaked it all up. I hadn’t felt that way since I was a kid back in Memphis with Booker T. and Richard Shann, listening to the new jazz records of Monk and Coltrane.” Page 222 Music critics “talked about EW&F only in terms of funk because they could not grasp the internal complexities of our Afro-Cuban, jazz, gospel, pop, Latin, and R&B influences.” page 249` “The people of Brazil loved us, and we loved them. I believe they embraced Earth, Wind & Fre on some primal musical level, because there’s so much of a Latin feel in all of our music.” page 280

The level of desperation of the Latinos and Jamaicans claiming FBA culture is pathetic at this point.
Facts...this is why I don't understand why they're desperately holding on to this Kool Herc argument? Coke La Rock said it himself that he didn't even know Herc was even Jamaican. That man played FBA music; dress like FBA, used our slang. It's getting comical at this point,

The jubalaires was the first rap video ever recorded 1941 It comes from the chain gang rapping during the reconstruction doing rail road work we had to keep our spirits up to make it to the next day during these horrible times still prevalent to this day
The lady at the beginning of the video said the Roberto Clemente was Boricua/Borikén, clearly he’s not an Eurasian Indian but an Afro-Puerto Rican. Now, Jose Cruz, Houston Astros great of the 80’s, is a real Borikén or Taino Indian mongol. They call everybody from PR Boricua or Taino. The average Puerto Rican have the features of the actress Adamari López, Jennifer López, and Fat Joe but would call themselves Boricua or Taino because they are ashamed to be the offspring of their Spanish fathers.
That's so true. Funny thing is I use to see those type of Spaniard looking Puerto Ricans mock and belittle those Indigenous features on other Hispanics for actually having those indigenous features. But then these Ricans wanna claim also Tainos. Looking like the dam king of Spain themselves.

Crazy timing because I went to one of her videos yesterday and gave her the proof. I chatted with Kala a few days ago and he cleared it all up. I let her know the truth.
The people making that claim don't represent us. Boriquas from the BX know Hip Hop was started by FBA and we added our flavor along the way because we grew up in the same hoods.
@randee4550 Peace Akhi Fam. They sparked it but Herc and Bam brought everyone together. We all know Hip Hop began with the DJ at the forefront and all the original BBoys(Trixie, Twinz and Sasa - All FBA) said it was Herc. Cholly Rock spoke about it and even the dude that runs the channel formerly MichaelWayneTV said Herc catered to the BBOYS while DKM catered to his hood and gangsters. None of this is my words or opinions. Just repeating the facts from the original OGs. What's so difficult about paying homage? ⚫️ Americans are our bredren. By the way, I was born in the BX. My family is 100% Boriqua from Aguadilla and Cabo Rojo. They moved to Fox & Tiffany St., then to Soundview and Beach Ave, and the rest to the Valley which is a heavy Caribbean neighborhood. I'm not some outsider. My family bounced from Soundview once Sex Money Murder and other lowlifes started turning it to shit.
@@badapplenyc I hear that. But who exactly is *they*? Because you're implying Hip-Hop, was already happening, prior to the era of Herc, Bam, and Flash. Once that's implied, it becomes a fallacy. The reason why it's fallacious, is because for Hip-Hop to exist, it must be done by a Hip-Hop CREW, and specifically, for a Hip-Hop crowd. You can't have Hip-Hop, without Hip-Hop. In order for something to even be considered Hip-Hop, two (or more) of the CULTURAL components of Hip-Hop, must be happening simultaneously. In other words, of somebody did a block party, and was "Black", that doesn't magically create a realm, for this person to be "Hip-Hop". This is where Flash, Bam, Herc, L-Brothers, Chase, Jazzy Jay, etc, separate themselves from DJ Flowers, The Disco Twins, etc. What makes one "Hip-Hop" is SKILL, and not being country, southern, from the Carolinas, from Bronxdale, from a particular gang, etc. All that is irrelevant. What made you a Hip-Hop DJ, was your skill level, and representation, in the CULTURE. All the others goofy shit, is of no relevance.
Back in 2006 Crazy Legs left a whole bunch of asinine comments on several different old school photos of Hip Hop DJ's, Emcees and B-Boys I uploaded to my now defunct MySpace page so it does not surprise me that he would stamp Mario as Puerto Rican.
I told @BoricuaNyc aka "LOVE" that, that wasn't true because I saw Mario's genealogy going back into the early 1800s which I stumbled on by accident because some of his ancestors are connected to some of my ancestors down in the Carolinas and they were all FBA.

The term "black" is used to refer especially to black Americans in the United States. Many classifications of our ancestors have been made.

I met Disco king Mario in back around 1980-81. His father was the super for the buildings 2755 - 2769 Sedgwick Avenue. I lived in 2763. I remember Mario, and his brothers W.C, Snag, and Tracy. Mario use to give parties in my basement, and Grand Wizard Theodore was the DJ. I remember asking where they were from and Snag told me N.C. I was too young to go to the parties, but my bedroom window was overlooking the basement, and I would hear Mario on the mic, yelling "JUICE - JUICE - JUICE JUICE JUICE - JUICE. Anybody that was there knows, and anyone who doesn't know, wasn't there.
I live in the Tri-State but my mom is from Fairfield County, South Carolina. For some reason a couple of my cousins and a Uncle had Spanish names but it was just to be different.
Mario is an Italian name and it’s VERY popular in the black American community. My family from New Orleans and Mississippi, moved to the Bronx in 1921. I have three Mario’s on one side.
Because white ppl wanna takeover hip hop but through their Spanish descendants because they know they have no claim into creating it… I even believe that this is one of the reasons why they dumb down hip hop so it can be infiltrated by these immigrants we see in it today with this trashy music of today it’s not a coincidence

Break dancing its about to come part of the world Games. They love taking our culture when it becomes a money maker.
exactly. They been teaching it in colleges and have some type of break dance tournament. I truly belive they want to over satrize it to the point of getting rid of it because its soo popular.

When the person they bring up up is half Black American and half Puerto Rican, e.g. Tex D.J. Hollywood, Nore, Lloyd Banks, Ruby Dee (if I'm not mistaken), their argument is "they were Puerto Rican". They totally erase their American Blackness, to emphasize their half Puerto Rican heritage. Even Nore does that little sucka shit. Calls himself Puerto Rican, like that's the only component that makes him himself. If you listen to him on his show interviewing Fab, He doesn't just tell fab to maybe embrace his Dominican 'side', he was frankly telling him to throw the Black part away. On the other hand, when the person in question fully Black American, they make up some lie about them having partial if not half Puerto Rican ancestry. This lie here is particularly egregious because there's not only no proof at all in favor of it, and all of family and friends testifying, proving the opposite. And certain mentally ill habitual liars will STILL push keep the bullshit going in the face of being proven wrong time and time again. We're dealing with people (and not all off them) who come from a mindset of eatin' off another nation for their cultural relevance in this country. That's just the long and short of it. It's far from just them, it's the entire diaspora, and damn near every nation that wants to be like the Black American. So they will lie, cheat, steal or whatever they can to attach themselves to our culture and legacy on this soil. Look at how BET just honored the biggest lying 🤡 s in hip-hop after they made it their careers to remove Black Americans from their own culture over the past few years. It's as if they were being rewarded for doing so. No other people has dealt with the level of insidious inner workings and tactics used against them to keep them down, as was and still are being used against the American negro. Now imagine if this was the early 90s and say hip-hop was created in the 40s. There was no FiOS at that time, and there were no cellphones with the ability to text and search information that you would normally get in the encyclopedia at lightning speeds. They would've been able to pull the wool over our eyes. But nope, this is now, and all vultures are getting called out and exposed.
Facts i agree with everything you said. This lie was started in the 90s by bambaataa. This is why its taken this long to correct was no social media back then. Im sure people were being blocked and blackballed for trying to speak the truth
@@losfornia Yes. That as well speaks to their conniving and insidious nature. You're gonna blend in with people who look like you, don't announce your own heritage, omit your own culture to benefit from another culture, then you turn around when your people get a leg up in the world and shit on the very people whose culture you amalgamated into, whose nature is compassionate enough to accept your disloyal ass unconditionally, and who carried you the whole way. Felipe Luciano seems to genuinely love Black American culture, but the way he went about it was very deceitful and underhanded... lowkey mole-ish.
@@uptownbladebrown Huh? What's the other half? I know he doesn't like certain terms, like calling himself the color 'black', but what did he say he was other than that?
That woman is a liar! Disco King Mario was NOT half Puerto Rican! I have encountered many Black men with the name Mario, but they were not Latino. They were Black American.
By the way, I remember Crazy Legs trying to say Grandmixer DXT was also Puerto Rican lol. This was last summer when the whole Fat Joe 50/50 thing blew up
@@melanatedwarrior3530 I don't recall DXT ever saying that; in fact, DXT always says that HipHop came from "Black American Soul/Funk" culture and never once heard him mention anything in regards to his (if what Colon is saying is true) "Latin" culture.
Puerto Ricans had to learn or be taught Hip Hop by coming outside their homes and communities. The one thing that Latinos can never claim is that they had Hop within their homes and communities. Blacks had Hip Hop within their homes and communities because the Culture was passed down from their parents and grandparents house parties and family gatherings. Many of the early pioneer DJs were the kids that played records for their parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents gatherings. Actually, the brothers and sisters in the 1940s and 50s were the forebearers of Hip Hop Culture. They just didn't call it by that name. Those Latinos that are trying to claim Hip Hop as part of their culture are mistaken and only show their true intent which is to corrupt and co-opt just like their Spanish colonizers.
There we go with the "Spanish Colonizer" psycho-babble. You sound worse than a White conspiracy theorist. New York City Puerto Ricans did not have to be taught a thing. Puerto Ricans were dynamically involved in an evolutionary stage as active contributors. You must understand Grasshopper, that New York City Puerto Ricans are forever "Down by Law!" Blacks of NYC in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's were cohabitating with Puerto Ricans en masse, and were influenced by Puerto Rican culture very heavily. The problem here is that sadly most Blacks outside of NYC are bigots and misinformed. They just cannot fathom that a people from such a small island in the Caribbean could have helped to create a worldwide musical phenomena. That goes to show you how they think they are superior to people who they feel are intellectually, and culturally inferior. You will learn that Puerto Ricans are not "Mexicans." We are a different beast, and you will accept these facts whether you have to see a psychiatrist or not!

I’m going to tell y’all again Hip Hop came from Black Disco. That’s what Mario was doing. Black Disco came from Philly. The Philly Sound drove Black Disco . Black Disco eventually became Hip Hop . All the early Jams had the word Disco in it . We were throwing Disco Jams back in the 60s on two turntables . Gamble and Huff are the foundation to Hip Hop
Do you know how many Foundational Black Americans have Spanish surnames! Cortez, López, Molina, Morelas and Rodriguez. The state of Louisiana was under Spanish rule from 1763 to 1803 and Spanish slaves masters have black slaves who took their Spanish surnames as their own as slaves did with the French, English, and Irish, so yes! you can have a Spanish last name and be Foundational Black American and not Hispanic. And this is just one example. Areas in Florida and Mississippi as well.
Years ago I’ve read about Mario being PR. So I got trapped as well. And it’s ironic how these people try to use Afro-Latinos as their buffer class to steal Hip Hop history, but mistreat and disrespect Afro-Latinos in Latin-America. Make it make sense… 😅

You're right. Google Pigmeat Markhams 1968 record "Here Comes The Judge" you'll hear an 1980s style Rap intro on the 45 Record long before Rap became popular. Lol
Motown pioneered the Disco sound ( Orchestrated Soul Dance Music) by the late 1960s By the 1970s you had Philly International Records, Barry White, Issac Hayes, Van McCoy and those 1970s Blaxploitation movie soundtracks. How could this guy be king of disco when he didn't originate the Music.

🖤BLACK AMERICAN🇺🇸CULTURE IS THE CULTURE OF THE🌎WORLD PERIODT.👈🏿✊🏿💅🏿👁️👁️FBA-4LIFE
They trying to turn us into immigrants like them to steal our cultural creations
You can say the same thing about Euro-American culture. America is the cultural hegemon, so whatever is created here from porn, to Jerry Springer, to Hollywood movies makes a big splash worldwide. If Brazil was the hegemon, then samba, Axe music, and capoeira would be dominant. Before the ascendency of rock and roll, Cuban rumba, cha cha, and mambo were massive worldwide, and these rhythms influenced jazz (go look up Machito, Chano Pozo & Dizzy, and the jazz cats that learned to play Afro Cuban polyrhythms), R&B (Mowtown added congas. Every time that you hear congas and bongos in black music, credit the Cubans and Puerto Ricans who brought it to NY. In fact, Puerto Rican music changed the drumming of African American music back in the 1930s) and the mixture in NY led to a more polyrhythmic kind of funk, go-go in DC (Chuch Brown was in a Latin band), and disco. African pop from the Congo to Senegal drew heavily from Afro Cuban music. Calypso was big in Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and played a major role in the modernization of highlife music. Dominican merengue influenced Haitian konpa direk, but the merengue most likely originated from the Haitian meringue. The Jamaicans always give credit to the r&b singers who influenced rock steady and reggae, specifically those from New Orleans. However, New Orleans' culture is heavily influenced by the culture of Haiti and Cuba. It's only the so-called FBA people that have issues with the cultural sharing that has been occurring with Afro-descendants throughout the Americas since the days of slavery. Finally, the roots of hip-hop lie in Jamaican DJ and dub music. It's easy to document, so stop trying to erase the history. We have our drums and hundreds of traditional rhythms in the Caribbean and Latin America, so we don't need to steal anyone's culture. Give credit!
Some quotes from Maurice White about his band EW&F. They are taken from the 2016 bio “Maurice White - My Life With Earth, Wind & Fire.” These quotes illustrate how influential Afro-Cuban and other Afro-Latin rhythms were in the creation of the bands’ sound. It’s also an example of the cross-pollination between the music of the Americas (African/black) that started with the introduction of the banjo from the Caribbean (by way of Africa), to Congo Square (A mostly Afro-Caribbean space in NO), and then to NY. White also said that EW&F had the best rhythm section (along with the Bar-kays because both bands were the most adept at playing Afro-Cuban music). Musicians aren’t into this FBA nonsense, they know where their influences come from. The roots are in Africa, but they stopped off in the Caribbean and were reintroduced here. Without the Caribbean influences, the music here is more European.
“I reminded them of how vital s raw, animalistic, and tribal backbeat could be in moving an audience. Still, I had no desire to morph into a funk band. We were a world music band, full of rhythms from all over the world, especially Afro-Cuban.”
Page 125
“Our contemporaries - bands like the Ohio Players, Mandrill, War, Kool & The Gang, Cameo, the Commodores, Con Funk Shun, and Parliament-Funkadelic- didn’t carry our cachet, which was partly musical and partly about business. The Isley brothers made great albums, and they did it without horns, which was notable in that era. Song after song, they created classics, but their live show was boring. Mandrill, possibly the most unsung band of the early 1970s, had an Afro-Cuban vibe that was undeniable. Unfortunately, they just couldn’t score the big hit that could have kept them moving higher.”
Page 211
“I had always loved Latin music, from those days down in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood, but the deeper rhythms and the Afro-Cuban influence opened me up. This wasn’t Sergio Mendes and Brazil ’66. This was a tribal, earthy, barefoot-in-the-dirt experience. Brazil’s music contained a heavy emphasis on drumming. I discovered there were these little drum schools all over Brazil. I visited three of them and roamed around those rooms like I was a hall monitor in junior high. The talented young musicians had amazing flavor: I soaked it all up. I hadn’t felt that way since I was a kid back in Memphis with Booker T. and Richard Shann, listening to the new jazz records of Monk and Coltrane.”
Page 222
Music critics “talked about EW&F only in terms of funk because they could not grasp the internal complexities of our Afro-Cuban, jazz, gospel, pop, Latin, and R&B influences.”
page 249`
“The people of Brazil loved us, and we loved them. I believe they embraced Earth, Wind & Fre on some primal musical level, because there’s so much of a Latin feel in all of our music.”

Salute to our fba/judhite brothers and sister up in the Bronx from V.A.
The people making that claim don't represent us. Boriquas from the BX know Hip Hop was started by FBA and we added our flavor along the way because we grew up in the same hoods.
Saute 💯to you
The FACT that you said "FBA", tells me you aren't even PR, or from NYC. Y'all stay trying be us, in the fake comments, with fake profiles LMFAO
If it was started by "FBA", name the crew that started it, void of any Puerto Ricans.
I'll wait .
@randee4550 Peace Akhi Fam. They sparked it but Herc and Bam brought everyone together. We all know Hip Hop began with the DJ at the forefront and all the original BBoys(Trixie, Twinz and Sasa - All FBA) said it was Herc. Cholly Rock spoke about it and even the dude that runs the channel formerly MichaelWayneTV said Herc catered to the BBOYS while DKM catered to his hood and gangsters. None of this is my words or opinions. Just repeating the facts from the original OGs. What's so difficult about paying homage? ⚫️ Americans are our bredren. By the way, I was born in the BX. My family is 100% Boriqua from Aguadilla and Cabo Rojo. They moved to Fox & Tiffany St., then to Soundview and Beach Ave, and the rest to the Valley which is a heavy Caribbean neighborhood. I'm not some outsider. My family bounced from Soundview once Sex Money Murder and other lowlifes started turning it to shit.
@@badapplenyc I hear that. But who exactly is *they*? Because you're implying Hip-Hop, was already happening, prior to the era of Herc, Bam, and Flash. Once that's implied, it becomes a fallacy. The reason why it's fallacious, is because for Hip-Hop to exist, it must be done by a Hip-Hop CREW, and specifically, for a Hip-Hop crowd. You can't have Hip-Hop, without Hip-Hop. In order for something to even be considered Hip-Hop, two (or more) of the CULTURAL components of Hip-Hop, must be happening simultaneously. In other words, of somebody did a block party, and was "Black", that doesn't magically create a realm, for this person to be "Hip-Hop".
This is where Flash, Bam, Herc, L-Brothers, Chase, Jazzy Jay, etc, separate themselves from DJ Flowers, The Disco Twins, etc.
What makes one "Hip-Hop" is SKILL, and not being country, southern, from the Carolinas, from Bronxdale, from a particular gang, etc. All that is irrelevant.
What made you a Hip-Hop DJ, was your skill level, and representation, in the CULTURE. All the others goofy shit, is of no relevance.
Back in 2006 Crazy Legs left a whole bunch of asinine comments on several different old school photos of Hip Hop DJ's, Emcees and B-Boys I uploaded to my now defunct MySpace page so it does not surprise me that he would stamp Mario as Puerto Rican.

Thats some seriously desperate shameful issh his family dont even co sign that WOW man.
North Carolina/ South Carolina brothas BEEN known to migrate up top and make ish happen. Those are just historical facts... SC blacks started migrating to the tri states in mass during the 20s 30s 40s hitting those shipyards while NC did it later after WW2 in the 60s 70s. I used to joke with NY cats that come down to NC claiming Michael Jordan was from Brooklyn. I tell them, he was only born in Brooklyn. James / Dolores Jordan went up to NY for a job opportunity while Ms Dolores was pregnant with Micheal.. And after he was born, they came right back home.. The family comes from Wallace NC...
I got family all in Chester PA, Philly, Harlem, D.C. and Patterson NJ.. And alot of my older peoples from up-top always sent there kids back down here for college. It's like tradition for many decades.. Shaw, St Augustine, NCCU, A&T WSSU.. And a good portion of them tended to settle in NC after they graduated.
Edit: The Father of D.C. Go Go was also not too far from where Mario was born.. R.I.P. Chuck Brown. Gaston, NC. Shout out to my DC peoples too.

Nyc is mostly immigrants so is the u.s...even native/aboriginals migrated from afrika at one point or another....your argument makes and doesn't make sense at the same time...for yall to claim ny culture is downsouth culture is madness...it has truth and lies all in one...lets stop the regional separation cause we all pump the same blood..peace
@@propane718 1) I agree that now NYC (as far as blacks are concerned) is populated by more immigrants. One of the main reasons for this phenomenon is because in recent decades alot of NYC blacks have MIGRATED( not IMMIGRATED) back down South.. There's a distinction between a Migrant and Immigrant ( look it up). 2) My statement is not and "argument". It's simply historical. Feel free to research Black American migration, i.e. The Great Migration.. And learn to apply terms correctly..

For the record and for all you "Fulfilled by Amazon" peoples. The first DJ to bring Hip Hop to the NYC masses in the early 80's was "Mr. Magic" aka "John Rivas" a Puerto Rican!

There's BLACK PUERTO RICANS Afro Latinos
@@Dominican1923 Afro Latino is a recently coined phrase. Although they are not black, there are some melanated Puerto Ricans. The term "black" is used to refer especially to black Americans in the United States. Many classifications of our ancestors have been made. On paper, the majority of Puerto Ricans considered themselves to be white.
I met Disco king Mario in back around 1980-81. His father was the super for the buildings 2755 - 2769 Sedgwick Avenue. I lived in 2763. I remember Mario, and his brothers W.C, Snag, and Tracy. Mario use to give parties in my basement, and Grand Wizard Theodore was the DJ. I remember asking where they were from and Snag told me N.C. I was too young to go to the parties, but my bedroom window was overlooking the basement, and I would hear Mario on the mic, yelling "JUICE - JUICE - JUICE JUICE JUICE - JUICE. Anybody that was there knows, and anyone who doesn't know, wasn't there.
I live in the Tri-State but my mom is from Fairfield County, South Carolina. For some reason a couple of my cousins and a Uncle had Spanish names but it was just to be different.
Americo Vespucci! That's your answer, but Mario is negroe ados!
Mario is an Italian name and it’s VERY popular in the black American community. My family from New Orleans and Mississippi, moved to the Bronx in 1921. I have three Mario’s on one side.
Why are they lying
Trying to erase black ppl, Ricans barely have a history here!
They are trying to find a lane in America
Jealousy
Because white ppl wanna takeover hip hop but through their Spanish descendants because they know they have no claim into creating it… I even believe that this is one of the reasons why they dumb down hip hop so it can be infiltrated by these immigrants we see in it today with this trashy music of today it’s not a coincidence

I hope Tariq get up wit Y'all for that Hip Hop documentary. This shit need to be real thorough from the slave fields to the DJ booth.

Now! it's a reason why black people on why they want to claim hip hop. You can look this up. The government is about to make hip hop part of the world Games and about to open up schools and give out grants millions ever year to billions of teachers of hip hop and historians to dancers. Break dancing its about to come part of the world Games. They love taking our culture when it becomes a money maker.
exactly. They been teaching it in colleges and have some type of break dance tournament. I truly belive they want to over satrize it to the point of getting rid of it because its soo popular. Jazz and other forms of our music have suffered much of the same fate. They squeeze it dry then discard it and stake claims on it.

@BigSane word salute to you brother
I have some questions I would like you to ask the OGs. Where can I reach you at?
We suppose to believe her over his family 😂😂
When the person they bring up up is half Black American and half Puerto Rican, e.g. Tex D.J. Hollywood, Nore, Lloyd Banks, Ruby Dee (if I'm not mistaken), their argument is "they were Puerto Rican". They totally erase their American Blackness, to emphasize their half Puerto Rican heritage. Even Nore does that little sucka shit. Calls himself Puerto Rican, like that's the only component that makes him himself. If you listen to him on his show interviewing Fab, He doesn't just tell fab to maybe embrace his Dominican 'side', he was frankly telling him to throw the Black part away. On the other hand, when the person in question fully Black American, they make up some lie about them having partial if not half Puerto Rican ancestry. This lie here is particularly egregious because there's not only no proof at all in favor of it, and all of family and friends testifying, proving the opposite. And certain mentally ill habitual liars will STILL push keep the bullshit going in the face of being proven wrong time and time again. We're dealing with people (and not all off them) who come from a mindset of eatin' off another nation for their cultural relevance in this country. That's just the long and short of it. It's far from just them, it's the entire diaspora, and damn near every nation that wants to be like the Black American. So they will lie, cheat, steal or whatever they can to attach themselves to our culture and legacy on this soil. Look at how BET just honored the biggest lying 🤡 s in hip-hop after they made it their careers to remove Black Americans from their own culture over the past few years. It's as if they were being rewarded for doing so. No other people has dealt with the level of insidious inner workings and tactics used against them to keep them down, as was and still are being used against the American negro. Now imagine if this was the early 90s and say hip-hop was created in the 40s. There was no FiOS at that time, and there were no cellphones with the ability to text and search information that you would normally get in the encyclopedia at lightning speeds. They would've been able to pull the wool over our eyes. But nope, this is now, and all vultures are getting called out and exposed.
Tex Dj Hollywood half BA? They also ignore that the ricans who came around didn't even claim their rican side around Black folks

Puerto Ricans had to learn or be taught Hip Hop by coming outside their homes and communities. The one thing that Latinos can never claim is that they had Hop within their homes and communities. Blacks had Hip Hop within their homes and communities because the Culture was passed down from their parents and grandparents house parties and family gatherings. Many of the early pioneer DJs were the kids that played records for their parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents gatherings. Actually, the brothers and sisters in the 1940s and 50s were the forebearers of Hip Hop Culture. They just didn't call it by that name. Those Latinos that are trying to claim Hip Hop as part of their culture are mistaken and only show their true intent which is to corrupt and co-opt just like their Spanish colonizers.
There we go with the "Spanish Colonizer" psycho-babble. You sound worse than a White conspiracy theorist. New York City Puerto Ricans did not have to be taught a thing. Puerto Ricans were dynamically involved in an evolutionary stage as active contributors. You must understand Grasshopper, that New York City Puerto Ricans are forever "Down by Law!" Blacks of NYC in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's were cohabitating with Puerto Ricans en masse, and were influenced by Puerto Rican culture very heavily. The problem here is that sadly most Blacks outside of NYC are bigots and misinformed. They just cannot fathom that a people from such a small island in the Caribbean could have helped to create a worldwide musical phenomena. That goes to show you how they think they are superior to people who they feel are intellectually, and culturally inferior. You will learn that Puerto Ricans are not "Mexicans." We are a different beast, and you will accept these facts whether you have to see a psychiatrist or not!

I’m going to tell y’all again Hip Hop came from Black Disco. That’s what Mario was doing. Black Disco came from Philly. The Philly Sound drove Black Disco . Black Disco eventually became Hip Hop . All the early Jams had the word Disco in it . We were throwing Disco Jams back in the 60s on two turntables . Gamble and Huff are the foundation to Hip Hop
African Americans Started Hip hop. Caribbeans and Latinos did not start Hip Hop.
Do you know how many Foundational Black Americans have Spanish surnames! Cortez, López, Molina, Morelas and Rodriguez. The state of Louisiana was under Spanish rule from 1763 to 1803 and Spanish slaves masters have black slaves who took their Spanish surnames as their own as slaves did with the French, English, and Irish, so yes! you can have a Spanish last name and be Foundational Black American and not Hispanic. And this is just one example. Areas in Florida and Mississippi as well.
