History of Hip Hop in the Bronx - Arts in the City

We could not afford instruments in the 1960s:
Entry level Guitar: Silvertone Stratotone, aka the Harmony H-46. At the time, it cost

That's not true! HipHop his roots started in Brooklyn! STOP LYING!!

this is so good😎😝🤤

how on earth any 'history of hip hop' video can exist without any mention of GRANDMASTER FLASH is beyond me.

My homework for this semester

This is cap...Ralph McDaniels video musicbox was the first MTV in nyc documenting 80s hiphop culture

DONDI was everywhere

So this video is supposed to convince me that cool hurk is the founding father of Hip Hop because he extended a breakbeat really ya'll trippin 🤔🙄 but good try

Where did Cool Herkes get his style stuff from?

Name one Jamaican that used to break dance or graffiti or use to rap in the early 70’s, go ahead I’m waiting…..????

New York City, the Bronx: the birthplace of hip hop.

Lord Tariq: If it wasn't for the Bronx, this rap shit probably never would be going on.

Born one day after Hip-Hop.

Discovered H.E.R. and the 4 Elements around '81 or '82 when the culture was introduced to the Chiland area back when I was a lil chavalio not even a decade old. Electro Funk, The Message, MTV, Style Wars, Wild Style, Beat Street, Breakin', Subway Art, local b-boy and graf crews, the Hotmix 5 and BMX, boom boxes, cardboard floor outdoor street battles, the steez, all of it, was personally experienced through my childish eyes, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

And like many U.S. Latino kids of the era, I was instantly smitten. I came of age w/ H.E.R. and together w/ my crew, which repped all 4 elements, and then some, for the record, lived through the New School / Golden Era of Hip-Hop that lasted from the mid 80s to the end of the 90s, along too w/ the post Golden Era, when the culture began to slowly change, as Millennials took the reins and reshaped it in their own generational image, and sadly, the entertainment / record industry, in many ways, learned to control that reshaping, as opposed to the Pioneer, Old School / Electro Funk, and/or New School / Golden Eras, when those same industries allowed the culture to flourish more naturally and organically, not 100% mind you, but WAY more than it did at the turn of the Century, and especially as it does currently in 2023

At the same time, the REAL culture, meaning Hip-Hop culture as a whole, as opposed to just the rap element, returned to her underground roots where she continues to grow to this very day, thankfully.

Started in the Bronx, spread like artistic wildfire throughout all 5 boroughs of NY, Hip-Hop's Mecca, then to the rest of the NE US, while also reaching LA, Hip-Hop's Medina, and from there, the rest of Califas and the West Coast, Hip-Hop culture, w/ her 4 Elements soon thereafter reached the rest of the nation, including the Chi, and the greater Chilandia area, and w/ MTV and Hollywood added to the mix, she'd soon go global, including en español, in nuestra preciosa America Latina, our motherlands too.

Hip-Hop, helped saved my life. If not for the 4 Elements, gangbanging was the only other street alternative. Not to mention that my Mexican dad and Puerto Rican mom woulda KILLED me if I ever gangbanged! lol

Forget "USED to", I STILL "Love H.E.R."!!!

Loved Afrika bambata untill it was revealed he was a a child predator...

Zulu Nation wasn’t a gang, to the contrary, Bam led the Black Spades, a gang, and transformed them into Zulu Nation, a positive organization about peace, love and having fun

African American of all the black people who came through the Atlantic slave trade, seem to be the most assimilated into the Europeans ideology. This is manifested most clearly, just Europeans do not give credit or situate the black race in any prominent position as an expression of their appreciation of the contribution of black people to their wealth and success, so too the African American do not credit Jamaica for the influential role its music, particularly "Rock Steady" the precursor to "Reggae" had on Dj Kool Herc, which developed in the 60's. In the genre of Rock Steady the 45 had two sides, the song on side "A" and instrumental or what we call the Dub on side "B". This would play heavily on Kool Herc a Jamaica/American.

It's all true . I'm Born and raised from 1969 to now in the South Bronx PR Y LOS NIGROS Papa !!!

These guys got me into Hip Hop, to become a Breaker Dancer and graffiti artist in the 1983, in the UK. It changed my life. There is some old school footage of us on my channel.
B-Boys will always be boys!! Respect, peace and love.

BLACK CULTURE IS DOPE...

I heard Kool Herc didn't create Hip Hop.

How can you talk about the history of NY HipHop and not speak about the Beastie Boys? You're fake. The Beastie Boys had the first Rap Album to go #1, they were the ones, and RUN DMC who traveled the world and made it international (along with MTV). Either you don't know your own history, or you are ignoring history because you are racist.

I did my research and i see where sound systems was created in Jamaica, because they didn’t like the music on the radio that was from America. This was long before the 70s . Hip/hop was created in the seventies, which means reggae is older than hip/hop. I guess because we’re black Americans and kool Herc is Jamaican we should hate on him, but I’m not getting on the plane because the pilot is a black American like me. I prefer to do my research.

Graffiti has nothing to do with hip hop😅smh..

😸😸😸😸😸

Here to incorporate this into my Lesson Plans for Dance class😊. ❤❤❤

But there is only so much that you can do with a sampler especially when you're into playing musical instruments....

Krs ones lectures are so important

What a poor excuse for a documentary. Whenever someone can't give you dates, it means they are playing loosely with the facts.
They can't give us the origin point (year) hip hop began.

No disrespect but gotta go way pass Afrika Bambaataa, GrandMaster Caz and Crazy Legs...Tariq Nasheed brings this topic.

James Brown is father of hip hop. Without his music, there would be no hip hop. Kool Herc even called him “The father”. Kool Herc said that was his inspiration.
