*the breakbeat
And it wasn't put to good use until 1989 in the UK for breakbeat hardcore.

The three most sampled breaks I can think of are all older than that.

Mistakes were made

That's spoken word, not hip hop. Rapping is a rhythmic technique, not just speaking over a backing track.
James Hernandez
hip hop was made in 1968

It may have been an important precursor to what hip hop musicians did later but it's not hip hop in any sense.
Jeremiah Powell
That entire album is one big fucking gem
Sebastian Wright
Hip hop is not just rapping

Not hip hop

I'm disputing the part of the post saying breakbeats were invented 44 years ago. Also I'd argue it took until 93/94 until people started doing really inventive stuff with breakbeats but whatever.
Brody Jackson
Sure the original drum beat that was used for the breaks was earlier but it wasn't until Herc and Bam did the "merry-go-round" that the break was born.

hopefully it will lose its relevance in the next five years and will become a genre that exists purely for nostalgiafags, like italo disco for example
Owen Gutierrez
How was that hip hop?

You know it's gained a lot more steam over the years right? If you would have said that in 2009 or 2010 when it was actually dying I'd believe you but now it's the most popular mainstream genre.
Brayden Perez
I was obviously joking, but it's still kinda impressive for a song released in 1972 by an italian middle aged dude. His semi-spoken singing style is not that different from rapping and the beats are funky af.
Henry Garcia
i wouldn't trust the trend. remember when all that twee indie crap was popular in 2009? it's dead now
