When Hip-Hop Began
Did Hip Hop start in the South Bronx or West Bronx? Hip Hop DJing had no name at the beginning, but the DJ element started in the West Bronx, by a DJ , who's name was Kool DJ Herc. Hip Hop as a Culture was started and named by Afrika Bambaataa in the South Bronx. It is Afrika Bambaataa who pull the 4 elements together (DJing, B-Boys, B-Girls, MCing (Rap) and Grafitti all together and gave The 5th Element which was Knowledge, which later he added Knowledge, Culture and Overstanding which holds all of it together. Did Afrika Bambaataa start DJing after Kool DJ Herc? Afrika Bambaataa started DJing at a very young age as well as giving numerous parties in the Southeast Bronx. Afrika Started DJing in the year 1970 playing with home turntables in a place called The Old Center in Bronx River Houses. He also had played with his mentor Kool DJ Dee, Tyrone and MC JoJo and Lovebug Starski, Disco King Mario, Tex DJ Hollywood throughout the years way before their was a name called Hip Hop. He also played on Pete DJ Jones System when he use to come and play in the Bronx River section. Afrika Bambaataa, Disco King Mario, Kool Dj Dee, Tyrone, Lovebug Starski, JoJo, Tex DJ Hollywood all came from The Nortorius Black Spades Streetgang and it is a fact that Afrika Bambaataa and Disco King Mario had a Lockdown on the whole Southeast Bronx, where you had to get permission from them to play in any of the areas they had fully controll of. If you was not down with Bams Zulu Nation or their Family group Marios Chuck Chuck City Crew, then much problems would come your way. Was the word Hip Hop out before there was a Culture called Hip Hop? It is said that LoveBug Starski, Keith Cowboy and DJ Hollywood both was using it in their raps when Disco Rap was the big thing of the time. So Hip Hop the word has roots with the MCs (Master of Cermonies) of the Disco era, but it is a Fact that Afrika Bambaataa's Whole Zulu Nation are the one who flip the name and made it a Culture. And all the other DJs who came after Kool DJ Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash fell into the Hip Hop Culture. Was Yo MTV Raps the first Hip Hop television show in the USA? No! the first show was Video Music Box with host Ralph McDaniel's. |
