Rap and Hip Hop: Crash Course Black American History #47

Crash course doesn’t know all the facts specially if you were not living in that era and is not all about blacks, Hip Pop was created by Blacks and Puerto Ricans period.

And btw, it’s not just for Black History, is also part of Nuyoricans History.

Rapture by Blondie " what year ? "

Remember these are brush over it's not accurate to the T it's someone's general assessment " how you talk about the origins when you spent most of the video talking about female rappers? " I was there but here's a question what year did rapture come out? Hip hop heads "

Rap is not my favorite music, but it is music whether whites like it or not.

Wtf!!! Rapping has nothing to do with Jamaican anything! We have videos of our brothers and sisters rapping in the 1930s! Rapping has its roots in the Carolina’s, call and response. It was birthed outta Jazz! Just like most of the early rap dances (B -boying, breaking etc) came from different dances like the Charleston! The originators are still alive and have debunked this bs about it coming from other cultures. Cmon man, this is from our Freedman culture. DJ disco King Mario was playing breaks before most ppl but he seems to get forgotten in our history

WTC

Rap and hip hop music originated from Jamaican immigrants

Help me out. Which rapper rap lyrics said...
" use to be the man, now your man got old" 1990's rapper..

I'm thinking Sadat X... Brand Nubians but probably not

for the life of me I can't remember where are who said that but I can't stop repeating it :)

Why didn’t he mention the sugar hill gang?

what a great video. i love learning about the history of rap/hip-hop (and this isnt my first time informing myself) but i really appreciate the way you did it and the points you made. we always need to show respect to the ones who came before us and who created a way and a path for others to expand upon. love yall, stay up, stay safe, stay informed, stay grateful!

What about puerto rican? They were the fundamental basis in the creation

Thank you for this informative series. Growing up seeing rappers who look like me - I felt proud to hear about their mastery in this video. Thanks, Crash Course for a superb series! ~Elizabeth

This is awesome! I wish I found this. Platform sooner.

The ancestors of rap and hip-hop were, to name a few are:
* Gil-Scott Heron
* Curtis Mayfield
* James Brown
To name a few.

Great stuff. We are a team of music producers - it would be great if you could take a look at our tunes as well. Peace

And many racist creatures love black music

This is an amazing video thank you!!

@YOUNG RICO DA DON prove it wrong

Animated Clint is adorable!
Wish that most mainstream American rap/hip hop music nowadays was more political, self aware, & analytical rather than mostly shallow, materialistic, & adolescent. The beats have evolved but the genre hasn't really as a whole.

Every music genre that has survived, has had a fashion movement with it.

its sad, its not called breakdancing, its bboying or breaking. this is not a well researched video

What about kool moe dee as a pioneer?

Hip Hop originated in the Bronx amongst the Black & Ricans. Til this day Black continue to dominate the emcee element (rap). Not so much DJing. They predominantly abandoned the breaking, graffiti, beatboxing elements fairly early though (early 80s) & left it to the Ricans, who passed it on to Europeans & Asians via tournaments. So other than the rapping element, Hip Hop is a world wide thing at this point.

This is not whole

sir, rap did not start in the 1970's

Damn, I'm PROUD to be part of this culture . As a Mexican/American I will keep the culture going and remind people from where it came. Thank you for this video.

A yo.

You can.t mnsion The 1980s hip hop without saying eaze e

I have the opportunity to met Clint Smith in my University and really enjoy these video series. Today help mecto teach at the kids to combine hiphop and puppetry

Really weird to talk about the birth of hip hop (1973) then skip straight to the late 80’s and 90s rappers lol. Queen Latifah and lauryn hill don’t deserve a 5 minutes of digress in a crash course. Easily could have mentioned Kool herc and Bam but glad you mentioned the 5 pillars

Rap these days are represented in a dark manner, The total opposite of what it was meant To represent, a way out and a story to tell.

Rap and hip hop have destroyed the black community.

The Gospel of HipHop by KRS1 should be required reading for anyone who loves HipHop.

Rap and hip hop was around before the 70s.

Very well made video. I would have liked to see DJ Kool Herc mentioned, DJ Hollywood, Eddie Cheeba etc. Especially explaining the break beat and how it was used to make a whole new sound that mcs could rap to.

Great video, loved it! keep up the good work :)

You should do one on soul music

talk normal bro, this speech style is all choppy

Congratulation

Most enjoyable and thorough explanation, thank you for posting.

Both Pac and Biggie deserved better in life than to be associated with Suge and Puffy. 😔

Cool Herc should of got a mention

❤

What about the Sugar Hill Gang, who actually was the first with their own record label🤔

Hip hop maybe, rap no. Rap is far deeper and much earlier, eg talking blues and jamaican mcs toasting (yes they were called that first)

Great video Crash Course. You've done it again. Way to talk about the origins, complexities, and nuances of the genre and its impacts, well.
