It must never be forgotten that the core and soul of rap and hip-hop is the Jamaican DJ's and their techniques. It was people like Grandmaster Flash and others of Jamaican origins who began rap/hip-hop in the Bronx.

In fact, Reggae was deliberately kept from Black Americans because the slavemasters were afraid that it was too revolutionary. Instead, they pushed Bob Marley's music to former hippies and other middle class whites, while they diluted and watered down reggae and promoted dance hall and pushed it to Blacks.

In the case of rap/hip-hop, the conspirators did their best to turn rap/hip-hop into a the type of music/culture that would ensure the mental destruction of Black youth. When rap/hip-hop began to flourish in New York, it was more of a happy-go-lucky, fun form of expression. By 1985 with 'The Message' rap/hip-hop began to become political and conscious that is when the schemers and tricksters began to destroy rap/hip-hop and turn it into a tool of mental destruction.

After 20 years of mental destruction with the use of trashy rap/hip-hop, the direction seems to be undergoing change - YET, IN THE BAY AREA, THE 'HYPHY' MOVEMENT OF SHEER IGNORANCE AND HYPE OVER CONSCIOUSNESS IS BEING PUSHED BY A JUDAS AND ANOTHER -- This fact needs to be known, because in a few years, we will hear about the 'hyphy' movement from the San Francisco Bay Area, displaying hyperactive dancing, hyperactive, non-intellectual and mentally destructive rantings and a repeat of the same brainwashing and mental attack through the use of words and rhythms.

Today, none of us who know the history of hip-hop and rap should sit down and allow everyone to claim it and to destroy, dilute or continue to demonize through retrogression, the original forms of rap/hip-hop that were created as a means of positivity.

It is therefore ACCURATE TO STATE that rap and hip-hop was created by Jamaicans and African-Americans. It was not created/invented by Hispanics although they did enter into the game later on.

This theft of Black culture is now being blatently undertaken with the outright rip-off of reggaeton, a form of music first created by Jamaican-Panamanians. The person to spread REGGAETON in the US was the Panamanian singer General.
