@chuckanthanio that's an excellent point brother. Flash was so revolutionary back then in New York in the 70s. It was hard to believe what he was doing
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.
It was Bambatta that condensed all of the street arts into the term Hip Hop. GF is entitled to his own opinion as a DJ. A lot of graf artists didn't deal with funky music or breakin at all and that is still true. Bambatta's Zulu Nation concept (5 elements + Peace & Unity) was his original creation.Everyone knows this.
Flash doesn't mention Disco King Mario, or Kool D because his ego won't allow it. I find that Flash fudges dates a little. He makes people believe that extends back to '74. I can't see it. I think Flash's timeline starts at '75/'76. That takes him out of the timeline of Kool D, Disco King Mario, Smokey and Kool Herc. The truth has been coming out in degrees.
Flash said he took what herc was doing and leveled it up! Herc or flash aint saying they was the first djs, herc is documented by many (including legends in the scene) as being the first to repeat the breakbeats, there was loads of djs before herc and mario ect but looping the breaks is what changed the game for all music genre's and djing in general...
@@ev8318 Forgive me for not clarifying when I said Flash was out of their timeline. What U should've said was when Mario was playing with Kool D(before he took on the name Disco King), Flash wasnt out there yet. That's what I meant by using the words "out of the timeline". 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. However, he innovated a change in DJ'ing that was never done before and made an indelible mark. It jumped him uo their on to the level of DJ's thar were his seniors in the game
@@ev8318 what he called the quick mix theory. The ability to continuously pick up on the same stop/start point and not have gap in the flow of the music
Like u said fam, flash and krs one didn’t really know Mario. Also culturally, there is a disconnect with native New Yorkers and immigrants. Natives always honor the ones before, based on bloodline and the access to the people we love. We always honor our ancestors. The immigrants separate themselves from there roots, and have a me, myself, and I attitude that still exist today. It is up to us, we already won! The more they dishonor, the more our truth comes out. Peace n luv…
Spot on brother. Me being black American I always honor our ancestors. I do find that black natives of America does the same. Immigrants don't because they have no connection or they always want to hijack FBA stuff and twist it as theirs. I say fu... all to those immigrants. Busta Rhymes and Fat joe showed us how alot of them think. Have you ever noticed during black History month, these teathers/immigranfs never salute black American inventors. They never wear shirs of black American Icons like Muhammed Ali or any other black Americans. They will wear a Bob Marley shirt though.
24:25 Flash timeline has too many inaccuracies. He has a history of pushing his timeline back. He said before he started DJ'ing in 1972. I.e. 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 find Flash has selective memory or he embellishes. Notice he said all these places that he's gonna speak at.......that means honorariums(money). To add the people to the timeline of pre-'73 pushes him out of being the pioneer that he's been propagated to be. If anything he winds up being a witness to the pioneers.
@bxdale83 see if you can find out when he threw parties in Mitchell , well that park by the school, near the highway. Also, he said and showed, how he learned on Fox near 163rd. And how he did jams in Forest. 161 & Tinton.
Can you please have a discussion with Kurtis Blow? I heard Kurtis say on two separate occasions that 1971 is when Hip Hop started. I'm sure he has some information on the history of this movement
Why did you take down the Blackjack video with Mr. Malcolm giving props to Puerto Ricans "Louie the Clown," "Pepe," and the whole 70's Watson Ave family? Is it because, I pointed out the fact that his mention goes against the southern fba narrative that Puerto Ricans were not on the Hip Hop scene from the jump? New York Puerto Ricans are Down by Law, and will always be. I would not be surprised if you put the video back up without Mr. Malcolm's mention...

Backspining records, “Doubles” (2 copies of the same record) was being done with the “Disco DJ’s” BEFORE Hip Hop. They did it blending. No needle dropping or cutting. They extended the break of a song with 12” singles.
Flash actually shouts out Mario as a pioneer of HipHop on the "East Side" in his memoir: The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash: My Life, My Beats Hardcover - June 10, 2008
Damn this is a like a soap opera, so interesting to hear the real peeps who lived these great moments , much respect to the Bronx community and your channel, this information is pure Gold, respect ✊
Finally I'm glad that you broke down "God" only thing CHRIST was a black man prophesied in the old testament that HE would come through the seed of David which is why Joseph was able to enter into the house of David when they reached Bethlehem. Joseph was of the lineage of King David therefore CHRIST is King and Savior far greater than a mere Prophet!!! "Judah" aka Negros/ Black Americans were the Kings in Biblical records. Genesis 49:8 [8]Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee." This is why we are great & hated @ the same time. Would love to speak with you! @ 14:42 this was an Elder @ my church Elder Gabar @ GOCC❤❤
Yea cauz the only Smokey I know is from Friday. If this Smokey and his cigarettes or smokathons, whatever you called em, is part of the origin of hip-hop I wanna know about him too! Respect to EVERYONE who started Our culture.
My opinion, there's many founders, but not all of them gained notoriety. And of them who were doing the thing before 79, they're part of the foundation. So I would say Mario deserves to get his credit for what he did. It's simple.
I agree in principle with this vid. Party people and dancing is what I saw before I heard dudes scratching. Dudes would be grooving and then go off when you heard the breaks on "Give it Up And Turn It Loose", "It's Just Begun" etc.
Krs and that temple of hip hop needs to be taken down and not supported the truth is not there and Herc is not the founding father of anything I also want to know who
That man said that he was going on a tour to tell the history. If he is leaving Mario out and repeating the he, Herc and Bambara are the founding fathers then he is telling lies as well as colonizing. STOP INVITING PEOPLE TO THE COOKOUT.
I think I can help with these questions….. what year did Mario and them first go to throogs neck projects and what years did Flash live on Dewey in throogs neck ( FRANKIE DINO)..:..:..
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
@@RandomFlavor only you're saying that. DJ Disc King Mario is still the first DJ. And if it wasn't for Mario who is a Black American, no one would know who Tex was.
@@terrell4102 Before Mario got to The Bronx from North Carolina, the culture was already in effect. He is most definitely not the first DJ of Hop Hop. I was born in Soundview, and know the real deal.
The Nation of Gods & Earths 5% is BLACK American. It is fully and completely from us. It is not Islamic or Arab or Hebrew or Caucasoid. It is an Amazing original BLACK indigenous creation from North America. And I'm not even in the belief system. I'm just Proud as a BLACK Man.
5%ers say they believe in the "science" of Islam though and beleve much of what muslims belueve so it is indeed rooted in arab religion even if your remix their doctrine.
Peace brother. The Father came out of the mosque-Nation of Islam Temple #7 and took the Supreme Wisdom Lessons of Master Fard Muhammad with him. There is Islamic theology in the Lessons.
@@SunFromBrooklyn73 Peace to you Brother. I am not saying 5% does not have influences from others, everything created does. I am saying that it came out of the Father and the Father came out of America and 5% is NOT Islam or NOI. It is wholly unique and American. It is Free of all oppressive forces. No Arab. No White Man. It is from the Soil of America. FBA must celebrate that. Those who say we have no Culture are just jealous because we have so much.
Ok so what I have gathered is. Yes #1. The utter creation of what became into "Hip Hop" was black, black, & black. #2. The Afro-Carribeans shortly after came in, spiced it up, & made it BETTER & marketable 👍 yvw. 😊
When has Black American ever not been the spice? That’s hilarious. We created all great American music forms from country to present day and you think we needed West Indian & Latino influences to “spice things up” and make our music - that has always gone global - global? Yeah ok. 🙄 it’s the audacity of this suggestion that’s insulting.
@@brooklynmedina7676 Hip Hop is 5 elements (not only rap) Black heads in NY ALIENATED the b-boying element back in 77. (Cali heads did it til gangsta rap took over) Let alone the beat-boxing cyphers, graf crews, turntablists. The Boricuas enhanced b-boying & made it marketable. Eventually it went global in the 90's. Asians then went to DOMINATE b-boying contests. Wh1+es, Latinos, even Chicanos hold down the graffiti element til this day. Wh1+e kids are the ones winning all the beatboxing contests since the 90s. If this culture is black, then why are the Asians creating the dope fashion? (Bape, LRG, Nike factories in China? Let alone Supreme or Champion?) Why do black kids dress in wh1+e Skater apparel for over 2 decades now? Why do they wear wh1+e influenced clothing like Gucci, LV, Versace, & Polo? 😂 It's an & has always been an urban collaborative effort. Think about that next time you say hip hop is a black culture, when 75% of the consumers are wh1+e. 😂
A lot of Black Americans had shirts like that to support the diaspora. Also, to me, the different roots are welcomed. It’s just sad to see people take credit away from Black Americans to give credit to other countries when everyone was indulging in Black American culture.

Flash allowed Nu Wave Whites into Hip Hop. Nu Wave White kids broke away from Punk Rock because of its racism and Misogyny and they embraced Hip Hop they didn't stop doing Nu Wave but they loved Hip Hop.

@ The Culture you are focusing on the word "DISCO" too much , disco is just a named that was used because we didn't call it rap or hip-hop back then , we just called it a "JAM".

It's On Record Of Flash Saying Herc Was First And If King Trixie Says It Was Winter Why Can't It Be Before The 73" Party. Fact Is Kool Dj Dee Was Before Mario And Ya'll All Quiet As A Mouse About It.
They said in the video that Kool Dee was the 1st with professional DJ set and by his admission he started in 73. What the ppl close to Mario are saying is he was already DJ'ing in 71 in the carriage room in his building but with basic equipment. It has already been stated on this channel years ago that Mario borrowed Kool Dee's equipment before he got his own

Forgive me for not clarifying when I said Flash was out of their timeline. What U should've said was when Mario was playing with Kool D(before he took on the name Disco King), Flash wasnt out there yet. That's what I meant by using the words "out of the timeline".
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.
However, he innovated a change in DJ'ing that was never done before and made an indelible mark. It jumped him uo their on to the level of DJ's thar were his seniors in the game

Which was?
''he innovated a change in DJ'ing that was never done before''
@@ev8318 what he called the quick mix theory. The ability to continuously pick up on the same stop/start point and not have gap in the flow of the music
I want more!!!!! I been sharing every video after watching them. Great work.
Like u said fam, flash and krs one didn’t really know Mario. Also culturally, there is a disconnect with native New Yorkers and immigrants. Natives always honor the ones before, based on bloodline and the access to the people we love. We always honor our ancestors. The immigrants separate themselves from there roots, and have a me, myself, and I attitude that still exist today. It is up to us, we already won! The more they dishonor, the more our truth comes out. Peace n luv…
Very ignorant statement..shame on you
Spot on brother. Me being black American I always honor our ancestors. I do find that black natives of America does the same. Immigrants don't because they have no connection or they always want to hijack FBA stuff and twist it as theirs. I say fu... all to those immigrants. Busta Rhymes and Fat joe showed us how alot of them think. Have you ever noticed during black History month, these teathers/immigranfs never salute black American inventors. They never wear shirs of black American Icons like Muhammed Ali or any other black Americans. They will wear a Bob Marley shirt though.
You Do Know that Grandmaster Flash is From Barbados ! His family was Not Born Here!
@@jerryjordan2482so?
24:25 Flash timeline has too many inaccuracies. He has a history of pushing his timeline back. He said before he started DJ'ing in 1972. I.e. 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 find Flash has selective memory or he embellishes. Notice he said all these places that he's gonna speak at.......that means honorariums(money). To add the people to the timeline of pre-'73 pushes him out of being the pioneer that he's been propagated to be. If anything he winds up being a witness to the pioneers.
We are getting old. Dates can be forgotten.
@@Ehiphop7😂🤣😅
The Caribbeans are telling lies about creation. Flash is getting away with it too. He going on tour to lie
@bxdale83 see if you can find out when he threw parties in Mitchell , well that park by the school, near the highway. Also, he said and showed, how he learned on Fox near 163rd. And how he did jams in Forest. 161 & Tinton.
Give thanks for this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can you please have a discussion with Kurtis Blow? I heard Kurtis say on two separate occasions that 1971 is when Hip Hop started. I'm sure he has some information on the history of this movement
Why did you take down the Blackjack video with Mr. Malcolm giving props to Puerto Ricans "Louie the Clown," "Pepe," and the whole 70's Watson Ave family? Is it because, I pointed out the fact that his mention goes against the southern fba narrative that Puerto Ricans were not on the Hip Hop scene from the jump? New York Puerto Ricans are Down by Law, and will always be. I would not be surprised if you put the video back up without Mr. Malcolm's mention...

Flash, bam, and herc have lived in the lies for so long that the dodge the truth now days
Salute to you all for getting the story correct.
Flash actually shouts out Mario as a pioneer of HipHop on the "East Side" in his memoir: The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash: My Life, My Beats Hardcover - June 10, 2008
Damn this is a like a soap opera, so interesting to hear the real peeps who lived these great moments , much respect to the Bronx community and your channel, this information is pure Gold, respect ✊
That song to be real.. was a breakbeat that all The hip Hop DJ's using in all the five boroughs of New York..😊
Finally I'm glad that you broke down "God" only thing CHRIST was a black man prophesied in the old testament that HE would come through the seed of David which is why Joseph was able to enter into the house of David when they reached Bethlehem. Joseph was of the lineage of King David therefore CHRIST is King and Savior far greater than a mere Prophet!!! "Judah" aka Negros/ Black Americans were the Kings in Biblical records. Genesis 49:8
[8]Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee." This is why we are great & hated @ the same time. Would love to speak with you! @ 14:42 this was an Elder @ my church Elder Gabar @ GOCC❤❤
Grand Master Flash did give props to Mario it was a VH1 hip hop honors and I can help you get the clip of it. It was about over 10 years ago.
I would love to see the footage!

this is very powerful and incremental information is needed for the world of the evolution of hip-hop!
There needs to be more discussion about Smokey and the Smokatrons.
Yea cauz the only Smokey I know is from Friday.
If this Smokey and his cigarettes or smokathons, whatever you called em, is part of the origin of hip-hop I wanna know about him too!
Respect to EVERYONE who started Our culture.
One of my favorite channels
My opinion, there's many founders, but not all of them gained notoriety. And of them who were doing the thing before 79, they're part of the foundation. So I would say Mario deserves to get his credit for what he did. It's simple.

This is my favorite history channel
I agree in principle with this vid. Party people and dancing is what I saw before I heard dudes scratching. Dudes would be grooving and then go off when you heard the breaks on "Give it Up And Turn It Loose", "It's Just Begun" etc.
Krs and that temple of hip hop needs to be taken down and not supported the truth is not there and Herc is not the founding father of anything I also want to know who
Who was at that party haven’t heard nobody say they were there!
Pete Dj Jones was Grand Master Flash's influence when it came to the Quick Mix Theory. He was around Pete Dj Jones alot.
That man said that he was going on a tour to tell the history. If he is leaving Mario out and repeating the he, Herc and Bambara are the founding fathers then he is telling lies as well as colonizing.
STOP INVITING PEOPLE TO THE COOKOUT.
Listen when real people are talking
Didn't Flash play on Kool Dee (who had it first) crossfader ? Yet krs1 gives him the credit for creating it lol
I saw Flash spin on 4 turntables while drinking 4 forties at the Disco Fever--Dam that was impressive
Peace em up
Much Love to you, KING!!! Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob is the TRUE GOD!!! And I’m a 80’s generation B-Boy: Chilly Freeze!!!
What does this have to do with religion.
Thank You
According to Green Eyed Geenie He's the one responsible for Mario even having DJ equiptment.
Either way he was playing in the park 2yrs before Herc. Herc was in the crowd watching him
Fire music soul music good vibes
I think I can help with these questions….. what year did Mario and them first go to throogs neck projects and what years did Flash live on Dewey in throogs neck ( FRANKIE DINO)..:..:..
Disco King Mario is on many flyers along with DJ D, Flash, Love Bug, and Bam. Take your thumb off the scale.
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.
6:26 Dancin’ Doug?! He’s a Legend
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
@@RandomFlavor only you're saying that. DJ Disc King Mario is still the first DJ. And if it wasn't for Mario who is a Black American, no one would know who Tex was.
@@terrell4102 Before Mario got to The Bronx from North Carolina, the culture was already in effect. He is most definitely not the first DJ of Hop Hop. I was born in Soundview, and know the real deal.

It is from the Soil of America. FBA must celebrate that. Those who say we have no Culture are just jealous because we have so much.
Ok so what I have gathered is. Yes #1. The utter creation of what became into "Hip Hop" was black, black, & black. #2. The Afro-Carribeans shortly after came in, spiced it up, & made it BETTER & marketable 👍 yvw. 😊
When has Black American ever not been the spice? That’s hilarious. We created all great American music forms from country to present day and you think we needed West Indian & Latino influences to “spice things up” and make our music - that has always gone global - global? Yeah ok. 🙄 it’s the audacity of this suggestion that’s insulting.
@@brooklynmedina7676 Hip Hop is 5 elements (not only rap) Black heads in NY ALIENATED the b-boying element back in 77. (Cali heads did it til gangsta rap took over) Let alone the beat-boxing cyphers, graf crews, turntablists. The Boricuas enhanced b-boying & made it marketable. Eventually it went global in the 90's. Asians then went to DOMINATE b-boying contests. Wh1+es, Latinos, even Chicanos hold down the graffiti element til this day. Wh1+e kids are the ones winning all the beatboxing contests since the 90s. If this culture is black, then why are the Asians creating the dope fashion? (Bape, LRG, Nike factories in China? Let alone Supreme or Champion?) Why do black kids dress in wh1+e Skater apparel for over 2 decades now? Why do they wear wh1+e influenced clothing like Gucci, LV, Versace, & Polo? 😂 It's an & has always been an urban collaborative effort.

You really broke it down....hope it's all FACTS.
Flash allowed Nu Wave Whites into Hip Hop. Nu Wave White kids broke away from Punk Rock because of its racism and Misogyny and they embraced Hip Hop they didn't stop doing Nu Wave but they loved Hip Hop. Flash was an innovator but his main impact was that he was a a savant. His talent was on a whole other level. He was INCREDIBLE.

@ The Culture you are focusing on the word "DISCO" too much , disco is just a named that was used because we didn't call it rap or hip-hop back then , we just called it a "JAM". They're going to throw a Jam at such and such park or were you at the Jam last night" That's what we called it, we just took the disco title and some people added it to their names that doesn't mean that they were actually playing at a real discotech

They said in the video that Kool Dee was the 1st with professional DJ set and by his admission he started in 73. What the ppl close to Mario are saying is he was already DJ'ing in 71 in the carriage room in his building but with basic equipment. It has already been stated on this channel years ago that Mario borrowed Kool Dee's equipment before he got his own
