Fat Joe Hip hop was a genre created way before Kool Herc, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash, Busta Rhymes (who claimed Caribbeans created hip hop) or Fat Joe. Actually, there was no name for it before the 80's. Hip hop comes from FBA soil and was cultivated by Jazz and the Blues and even Gospel.

Just like Rock and Roll and country music, which was also stolen from Foundational Black Americans, (the term Rock and Roll was cultivated by black colloquialism), hip hop was a form of expression from the grassroots. Hip hop was looked down upon by the Latin and Caribbean community in its inception and was only adopted years after it began. No Joe, you and Busta Rhymes need to get your facts straight! #guardtheculture
