Stop falling for this 50 year bs. The actual form of what we know as Hip Hop started in the Bronxdale section of Bronx, NY in 1971 with THE BLACK SPADES. The true creative force of the music was started long before that but what we know as Hip Hop today was birthed in 1971. It's first DJs were people like Disco King Mario, DJ Grandmaster Flowers and a young DJ Phase to name a few. The sound was directly influenced by the likes of the James Brown's and Pig Meat Markham's of the times. Herc and Bambatta were students of the game, not teachers! Stop listening to Fat Joe and Busta Rhymes lying about the origins of our music!
