The interviewer never heard of the five elements

Its something that got lost by the early 90s honestly

People never realize the five elements are meant to engage the parts of the body

MCing/rapping - mouth
DJing - ears
Graffiti - eyes
Bboying/break dancing - legs
Knowledge - mind

This tweet is so good

The same Latinos Fat Joe is bigging up are debunking him

This is a classic case of non black entitlement

This is the result of the cookout invites y'all love to distribute to the world

You make someone a guest and then they want to claim ownership

They contribute things much later on, then they say the creation of it was 50/50

This is why black people are delineating and this is why black people have to gatekeep everything we create

Those three have always said that, even down to the fact that they were looked down on by their own people for loving hip hop and the culture. Fat Joe really didn't do his homework.

The narrative is Black Americans invented hip hop with no help from others, in the early 70s

That has been proven

That's not stopping people from trying to debunk that narrative

This negro is Columbian trying to prop up some random Puerto Rican from the LATE 70s

The tethering is non stop

Listen. We gotta understand world history to fully understand what's going on.

Black Americans are the descendants of slaves, therefore things are taken from us without a second thought. Slaves aren't supposed to have anything to themselves

Puerto Rico was colonized by the Spanish. As we see hip hop Puerto Ricans still have a Spanish colonizer mindset. They can't simply say they were the first guests/students of Hip Hop, they have to claim co-creation to truly identify with the Spanish

England is the Puerto Ricans of Hip Hop. They were the first country to emulate it outside of the US

Early UK Hip Hop was flaming trash. Technically were used EDM/drill type beats, that had no bass and niggas were rapping off beat. I don't mean like E-40 off beat, I mean rapping NOT ON BEAT

I was just thinking about the audacity of tethers and others claim co creation of hip hop

How Outsiders influence anything when we had soul train since 71, where every element of Hip Hop was on display weekly on TV?
