    GM Flash came out with the 2nd Generation of Hip Hop. He definitely took it to a higher level. IMHO, so was Bambatta. Theodore should be properly credited with scratching and flash the quick mix. I believe Mario, Herc, and others are the original and 1st Generation of Hip Hop.
    The reason I claimed this is because in 75 when I was 1st introduced to this music in the Bronx, Herc and Mario were the local stars in the Bronx. There were others, but they were the one most popular during that time.

      @@chuckanthanio you are saying the EXACT THING that I'm saying. Flash likes to fudge dates and throw 1974 out there. I believe he's the 2nd generation as well (1975/ 1976). He ain't from the '71 to '74 group. That's Herc, Mario, Kool D, Smokey.
      I also believe Breakout is from the '75 or '76 class as well.

He doesn't mention Lovebug Starski either. There were also DJ's in RIver Park Towers that were doing their thing in the mid 70's ua-cam.com/video/y43t5K108Yo/v-deo.html.

      Flash has mentioned Mean Gene in interviews, he called him "the neighborhood bully." I haven't heard anyone disagree with that statement EXCEPT for Mean Gene.
      I asked Disco Bee if Flash was ever Mario's record boy. Bee said no. Then he said he'd do one better he called Flash and asked him and Flash said no. There's a picture of Mario with a bunch of ppl, in the background is a dude wearing a hood on his head. Some ppl say that it's Flash. Even Bee was like Yo, that looks like him, lol. But he and Flash determined that it wasn't him because even back then Flash used wore a Kangol all the time.
      I asked Bee if Flash worked with Smokey, he said he doesn't recall him or them working with Smokey.

      Brother, you are looking at this in a similar fashion as me. The recent
      conversations over the past 8 or 9 years has rocked the foundation of this Trinity concept of Bam, Herc and Flash.
      The injection of Disco King Mario and Kool D has forced the door to open for other names to be looked at in that '71 to '74 period.
      That's the key period. You add more known names to that period, then you start to navigate away from three individuals doing something miraculous. Now the prestige for only three people lessens because more names come into the conversation. Flash loves the prestige of being viewed as this awesome force to hip hop as a culture and music genre. No doubt he will always be respected and spoken of in history, however, that will diminish as other names, contributors, and innovators before him start to be mentioned.

    Once Kool Herc said @44:45 "I'm the Founding Father, I'm The Inventor [of Hip-Hop]" he lost ALL credibility right there. The same goes for Grandmaster Flash by publicly ignoring the existence of King Mario and Grandmaster Flowers' direct influence on him and how his name was inspired by the name of Grandmaster Flowers. Flash elevates himself as a "Father of Hip-Hop" culture, which is said to be made up of 5 elements, but nonetheless Grandmaster Flash goes on record and says “You know what bugs me, they put hip-hop with graffiti. How do they intertwine?“ These words of his are published in 2004 in the book titled "That's The Joint: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader." When you say and do the contradictory and fraudulent things Flash does you also lose complete credibility.

      The dates kind of of point out that Kool D, Disco King Mario, and Kool Herc were doing their thing a solid 3 or 4 years before Flash got out to doing his thing.

In his book he said he met Tiny (Marion Frampton) from the Black Spades/Casanovas in 1975 when he threw a jam in Mott Haven Projects and that's when he got cool with the Casanovas but Tiny (in his words) was locked up from 1974-1976

    I could see why he mixed soul with Disco, being that Philly Soul for the most part, is the genesis to Disco, before Donna Summer. But that still, kinda puts him, talking Flash as somebody who started in the mid 70s. Where he might went from B-Boy straight to DJ. Most likely in '76. I think '75 , he was still in transition.

    It's surreal & sad that 70's un-filtered Bronx Hip Hop culture initially united races & ethnicities, wherein after having passed through so many different hands -- it now is doing the complete opposite. If "Sylvia" would have never believed in "Big Bank Hank," "Master Gee," and "Wonder Mike" -- Rapping would have been just another passing fad, having died out in 1981. I was at all of "Disco King Mario's" Jams in Rosedale Park. His Jams were always F.R.E.S.H, but he did not have the turntable skills that were defining the Hip Hop sound at the time. It was Puerto Rican "Tex DJ Hollywood" that made Disco King Mario's Jams an authentic Hip Hop Jam. Disco King Mario was a real cool dude, and a fixture in the community, but he was not the DJ caliber required of the burgeoning Bronx Hip Hop culture exploding before his eyes. I have fond memories of the jams in Rosedale Park, and sad memories of what ultimately became of Disco King Mario in the early 90's... R.I.P

    Queens had they Style & so did Harlem....why you think a BBoy crew have a Name like...
