From the enslaved to the freed: The early existence of ( pre-Civil War) FBAs in the Bronx

So-called, "Black Aboriginal" profile Pt 1: ODB (Wutang)

@randee4550 "They were the 2nd oldest ethnic group in NY outside of its Dutch founders"

The nicknames for the Bronx and NYC in general, came straight out of Southern FBA culture/milieu!

From sex, drugs, rock n roll, slang to protest; Jazz and Blues laid & paved the way for HipHop!

​@INKREDIBLE_HULK777 Arturo Schomburg didn't father Blk History in the USA. Come see REAL TRUTH!!

An immediate predecessor to HipHop music (rap(per)): The Black Arts Movement of the 1960s

Southern FBA AAVE speakers invent Jive talk, which then lays the foundations for HipHop slang.

MelleMel=IDIOT NYC a place of ethnic enclaves; a uniform non-race based Bronx/NYC culture is a MYTH!

GrandmixerDXT- Rap/bboyn existed in the 1920s; nomenclature made us think it came about in the 1970s

@DrDerrickColon : Ya man thought that was a flex. ORIGINATOR vs JOINER/ADOPTER are NOT THE SAME!

Bom5 (1970s Rican bboy/graf) - "Savage Nomads/Skulls used to fight Blk Spades and Italians/whites"

Guru (OG Black Spades founder): "To me, Disco King Mario started this HipHop thing"

Blk Spades founder confirms beef/racial tension between Blks/Rican. Says HoeAve meeting had 0 impact

Dj Kool Herc basically says he was a continuation of Dj John Brown (clip I never posted before)

Sammy Davis Jr: No more false heritage claims & myths/false claims on his dancing roots/influences!

Stop the Cap!: Hoe Ave meeting (Bronx 1971) in no way, impacted the Birth Of HipHop.

DC GoGo Beat: The Origin, straight from Chuck's own mouth

@DrDerrickColon :FBA music is the "African matrix"; FBA great at abstracting their African input

@DrDerrickColon : "Griot/Sahelian" musical cluster is found in FBAs, not Carib/Latin/South America

@DrDerrickColon : Upper West African vs Lower West African music & how this impacted "Latin" music

@DrDerrickColon : Ratio of Upper West African vs Lower West African makes Felipe's take false!

@DrDerrickColon : FBA Jazz has its own (different) 'Clave'; Latins confused by "Swing" feel/concept

@DrDerrickColon :Same sequence of notes but with a different usage

Harlem Hell Fighters Band: REAL TRUTH on James Reese Europe & how Puerto Ricans got into the band!

To DrDerrickColon: Felipe=WRONG. FBA's were "rapping" before so-called "Latin Scat" singers existed

"Blues and HipHop are first cousins" (Featuring a TBB member lol)

To DrDerrickColon: Felipe's supposition on "Scatting" has no grounds in truth. See REAL TRUTH INSIDE

"Clave rhythm is Pan-African; it exists wherever Africans were enslaved. It's Afro-transatlantic"

THE LATIN BREAKDOWN. HIP HOPS LATINO CONNECTION (Dr Colon): Response Pt 3

Indigenous (continental) African music isn't "Funky"; the "Funk" had to be imported

Felipe Luciano "I grew up in a pentecostal church, it was like Orisha/Santeria" (Little did he know)

THE LATIN BREAKDOWN. HIP HOPS LATINO CONNECTION (Dr Colon): Response Pt 2

THE LATIN BREAKDOWN. HIP HOPS LATINO CONNECTION (Dr Colon): Response Pt 1

The hurdle for those who make false claims on Jazz music: Buddy Bolden and the Uptowners

When Joe Bataan met "Latin" gatekeeping

To the idiot @INKREDIBLE_HULK777 : FBA musicians in NYC circa 1910, pre-Harlem Hellfighters

Refresher: The FBA roots & foundations of "Rock" music

To DrDerrickColon & randee4550: Time to hold another L on that, "roots of Rocking" debate!

From Buck Dance to Lindy Hop: The FBA Jazz vernacular dance roots of Bboying/Floor rocking!

To Dr. Colon: A response to graffiti portion of UPDATED HIP HOP DOCUMENTARY ORIGINS & ELEMENTS

FBA NYC (and its nation wide influence) culture: The Swing era, Savoy Ballroom and the LindyHop

Dr Colon and Randee: It's time to put your bogus 'Latin Breakdown' theory on bboy music to test!!!

To Dr Colon: On the so-called "Latin Descargas" or "Go-offs" at the Palladium (Mambo era)

To Dr Colon: Debunking his Cowbell (as an instrument) lies

Response to @KINGKOOKOS : No, Puerto Ricans were not in NYC before FBAs!

Ken Swift (RSC bboy) warned yall about BBoying being a dance and not a "Sport" for the Olympics lol!

Amigo Rock (2nd gen Rocker, then bboy): Talks Rocking Manhattan vs BK & first time he saw Bboying

Frosty Freeze (Rock Steady Crew bboy): Talks his history in the culture and his bboy influences

Trac2/Dr Colon lying again?: 1st gen Rock dancer (Bk) says late 1960s origin of the dance is FALSE!

Papo Rojas, did you ever figure out the answer to the question you and Enoch were asked?

Jazz/Tap steps & moves (1800-1950) later became R&B/Soul/Funk steps & moves (1950-1970s)

The impact and lasting influence from the black tap dancers of 1920s/1930s, Vaudeville/Broadway

FBA Roots of the Bboy: The Jazz Split

Jazz drumkit influence on the Timbales; FBA Jazz drumming influence on Tito Puente's drumming style

The Mills Brothers: OGs of beatboxing

To Dr.Colon STOP W THE LYING! @truthsaviour8804 is right, the Descarga isn't just percussion.

Jazz dancers doing "Burns" with shuffles and spins circa late 1940s.

Tito Puente: His love for Tapdance and how it influenced him and the Mambo dance at the Palladium

The Buckdance/Tap influence on James Brown's dance and music (Funk)
