how is the beastie boys appropriation? unless youy think brooklyn MCs don't count or something
hip hop was never a black thing, if anything it was a bronx thing

>Cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of the elements of one culture by members of another culture[1].

All rock since that's just white r&b

Hip hop is literally American dancehall.

Remain in Light
Graceland

herc being black does not make hip hop black, and arguably hip hop existed before herc with taki 183 etc

Being American dancehall does.

>mfw a white """"""""""person"""""""""" breathes black air

If you are going to spam this you should at least put a picture of an actual toasting DJ and not just Bob fucking Marley

that's not what it is though
herc wasn't even toasting really, and rap was already coming from gil scott heron and the last poets
not as simple as it arriving on a boat in one piece

But Bob pisses more people off

>thinking graffiti = hip-hop
>not knowing that a lot of graffiti artists from the 70's and 80's were white kids who couldn't give a shit about rap music

Gil-Scott Heron got that vocal style from Jamaican toasting and African chanting, still not hip hop.

wtf i hate eno now

name some

how is TRWNBT toasting or chanting? sounds a lot more like rapping

Rapping (or emceeing,[1] MCing,[1] or rhyming)[2] is "spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics".[3] The components of rapping include "content", "flow" (rhythm and rhyme), and "delivery".[4][5][6] Rapping is often associated with and a primary ingredient of hip-hop music, but the origins of the phenomenon can be said to predate hip-hop culture by centuries.

Pretty much any white guy from Style Wars, Seen is quoted as saying he hates hip-hop.

this is way off though, style wars didn't come out until 83, they were associated long before

Not only that, he also broke the cultural boycott against apartheid South Africa. Paul Simon, the absolute madman.
