All of a sudden, a dispute has arisen between Foundation Black Americans, Jamaicans, and Puerto Ricans as to who created Hip Hop culture. Being a philosophical individual, I’ve broken the issue down to a conflict between people who operate using a God concept vs a Great Spirit concept of creation. In my opinion, the Great Spirit was responsible for the creation of HipHop and not God. Here is why.
Foundational Black Americans (FBA) is a further definition of ADOS or American Descendants Of Slaves. Over the past few years, certain individuals have been successful in creating a rift within the historical Black American community. Some groups such as the Black Hebrews and Moors say Black Americans were never slaves or originally African and are generating social strength and pride under this new sense of self identity. In short, they are God inspired.
I find nothing wrong with Black people defining and sourcing strength from a belief system as long as that belief system is based on Ethics. In order for a belief system to be ethical it has to depend on a certain level of truth; however, most FBA people do not depend on DNA testing and history to define their ancestry, believing that those things are deceptions created by the white man to steal their true identity. It supports my belief that Life will take people in any direction they want to go until death exhausts them.
Black Americans used to live under the untrue stigma that they do not have a culture. Therefore, in defining their identity, FBA is now on a mission to fight back against all the disrespectful things they’ve faced from Black immigrants. One of those things is the belief that HipHop, the #1 cultural influencer in the world today, was created by Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans and not by them.
DJ Cool Herc, a Jamaican immigrant, has been recognized by the main-stream as the pioneer of HipHop. In the mid-seventies he used to hold block parties that brought together people of all cultures to have fun. Instead of just playing music, he would isolate the non-vocal areas of a record and loop it allowing MCs to Rap over the extended “break”, as it was known.
The problem with most people’s definition of HipHop is that they view HipHop as Rapping and DJing alone. Its only when you remind them that HipHop involves Dancing, Dressing, and Graffiti that they begin to understand why Hip Hop has multicultural origins and not just one. This leads me to my thesis that HipHop was created by the Great Spirit and not a God. You might be reading this and saying “what does HipHop have to do with God, MR dummy Integral?”
If you understand HipHop slang you might have heard the word God being used by Hip Hoppers to refer to one another. The word was an appropriation into Hip Hop from the 5 Percent Nation, just like everything also in Hip Hop are apportions. To refer to oneself as a God means you have the power to create on your own but while this assumption is true to a certain extent, it forces the mind to be selfish.
If you are an FBA and you believe that Hip Hop was created by you then you are selfish, God. Same goes for you Jamaican and Puerto Rican “Gods”. Selfishness created divisions that can easily be exploited by our enemies so wise up and recognize that creation itself is a collective force. Everything in nature is a collective including us. The Great Spirit that is the Universe is a collective of abstract forces. It brought those forces together and created Matter, Nature, and Life, allowing your parents to come together and combine their DNA to create you.
FBA, Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, and other cultures came together in New York city and out of that rich cultural mix came Hip Hop. Stop the ignorance.
