Kool Herc’s own admission that Rap & Hip Hop was started by Black Indigenous Americns | Freedmen. Stop 🛑 telling lies that Jamaican & Puerto Ricans started Rap & Hip Hop | Lair Kool Herc’s telling you haters that he ( KoolHerc) learned Hip Hop & Rap from Black American Culture.

“Along the way, a few ppl knew I was Jamaican 🇯🇲.” #HipHop50 So also by #KoolHerc’s own words, he was basically pretending to BE Black American 🇺🇸. In order to “fit in” with… BA 🇺🇸 (Hip Hop) Culture.

As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop all year long, we have to acknowledge one of the most important figures in this culture. Happy Birthday Kool Herc and thank you for your contributions 🌹‼️ #HipHop50 #UHHM #KoolHerc 📸 @ysymfilms

Hip Hop is 100% Black American culture. Kool Herc (🇯🇲) was basically PRETENDING to be #BlackAmerican 🇺🇸… in order to FIT IN w/ Hip Hop. “But along the way, a few ppl knew I was Jamaican.” - #KoolHerc

Receipts coming from everywhere now! Original black Americans, people need to leave us tf alone. Stop stealing our culture. #oba #originalblackamerican #hiphop #koolherc #fba

#HipHop50. Hip Hop legend Coke la rock 🇺🇸 is widely known as the 1st rapper. He was friends w/#KoolHerc. Hip Hop (obviously) did NOT come from 🇯🇲 culture. In fact, Kool Herc basically pretended to BE #BlackAmerican, in order to fit in w/… BA 🇺🇸 (Hip Hop) culture.
