GM Flash came out with the 2nd Generation of Hip Hop. He definitely took it to a higher level. IMHO, so was Bambatta. Theodore should be properly credited with scratching and flash the quick mix. I believe Mario, Herc, and others are the original and 1st Generation of Hip Hop. The reason I claimed this is because in 75 when I was 1st introduced to this music in the Bronx, Herc and Mario were the local stars in the Bronx. There were others, but they were the one most popular during that time.

There's a picture of Mario with a bunch of ppl, in the background is a dude wearing a hood on his head. Some ppl say that it's Flash. Even Bee was like Yo, that looks like him, lol. But he and Flash determined that it wasn't him because even back then Flash used wore a Kangol all the time. I asked Bee if Flash worked with Smokey, he said he doesn't recall him or them working with Smokey.

@@bxdale83 I been reading your comments for years brother. I believe yall brothers are older than me by about 4 to 8 years(maybe older than that) Im only 53 plus Im from Brooklyn.....nothing to do with uptown. Brother, you are looking at this in a similar fashion as me. The recent conversations over the past 8 or 9 years has rocked the foundation of this Trinity concept of Bam, Herc and Flash. The injection of Disco King Mario and Kool D has forced the door to open for other names to be looked at in that '71 to '74 period. That's the key period. You add more known names to that period, then you start to navigate away from three individuals doing something miraculous. Now the prestige for only three people lessens because more names come into the conversation. Flash loves the prestige of being viewed as this awesome force to hip hop as a culture and music genre. No doubt he will always be respected and spoken of in history, however, that will diminish as other names, contributors, and innovators before him start to be mentioned.

Once Kool Herc said @44:45 "I'm the Founding Father, I'm The Inventor [of Hip-Hop]" he lost ALL credibility right there. The same goes for Grandmaster Flash by publicly ignoring the existence of King Mario and Grandmaster Flowers' direct influence on him and how his name was inspired by the name of Grandmaster Flowers. Flash elevates himself as a "Father of Hip-Hop" culture, which is said to be made up of 5 elements, but nonetheless Grandmaster Flash goes on record and says “You know what bugs me, they put hip-hop with graffiti. How do they intertwine?“ These words of his are published in 2004 in the book titled "That's The Joint: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader." When you say and do the contradictory and fraudulent things Flash does you also lose complete credibility.

It's surreal & sad that 70's un-filtered Bronx Hip Hop culture initially united races & ethnicities, wherein after having passed through so many different hands -- it now is doing the complete opposite. If "Sylvia" would have never believed in "Big Bank Hank," "Master Gee," and "Wonder Mike" -- Rapping would have been just another passing fad, having died out in 1981. I was at all of "Disco King Mario's" Jams in Rosedale Park. His Jams were always F.R.E.S.H, but he did not have the turntable skills that were defining the Hip Hop sound at the time. It was Puerto Rican "Tex DJ Hollywood" that made Disco King Mario's Jams an authentic Hip Hop Jam. Disco King Mario was a real cool dude, and a fixture in the community, but he was not the DJ caliber required of the burgeoning Bronx Hip Hop culture exploding before his eyes. I have fond memories of the jams in Rosedale Park, and sad memories of what ultimately became of Disco King Mario in the early 90's... R.I.P

Ghetto Brothers had a Rock Band & started doing Latin Rock in the Parks & Streets of the Bronx 💯 while in Brooklyn they was mixing Spanish and English musix in the 70s...They All was using Disco turn tables...All the DJs...So hip hop took the Turn Tables from Disco 💯 the Puerto Rocks DJs in Bklyn then started Mixing Spanish & Reggae in the 80s...its cool 2 know what was happening in the Bronx but what about the other Boros ?? Queens had they Style & so did Harlem....why you think a BBoy crew have a Name like... Rock Steady ?? ...I thought they were BREAKERS 😀😅🤣 When in Brooklyn All the Dance Crew never use the term Breaking...in Bklyn it was always Rocking 💯 thats when hip hop historians messed up....Bronx stay Biting from BKLYN aka Planet Rock... The Birth Place of Legends 🎶💯🎶

@ The Culture you are focusing on the word "DISCO" too much , disco is just a named that was used because we didn't call it rap or hip-hop back then , we just called it a "JAM". They're going to throw a Jam at such and such park or were you at the Jam last night" That's what we called it, we just took the disco title and some people added it to their names that doesn't mean that they were actually playing at a real discotech

Flash allowed Nu Wave Whites into Hip Hop. Nu Wave White kids broke away from Punk Rock because of its racism and Misogyny and they embraced Hip Hop they didn't stop doing Nu Wave but they loved Hip Hop. Flash was an innovator but his main impact was that he was a a savant. His talent was on a whole other level. He was INCREDIBLE.

A lot of Black Americans had shirts like that to support the diaspora. Also, to me, the different roots are welcomed. It’s just sad to see people take credit away from Black Americans to give credit to other countries when everyone was indulging in Black American culture.

Hallelujah Praise The Most High God Yahweh/Jehovah!! Bless you and Thank you my Brother for taking the time to acknowledge One and True God Yahweh (God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob), that I also acknowledge, follow and serve. I also believe that we are the Descendants of the biblical and true Jews/ Israelites. I also believe the Bible is about us, was written for us and is about OUR TRUE CULTURE. I ALSO BELIEVE OUR ANCESTORS THAT CAME INTO THIS COUNTRY BY WAY OF SHIP WE'RE OF THE 12 TRIBE ISRAEL AS WRITTEN IN DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 28. WE ARE NOT THE GENTILES. The Kingdom I'm referring to in my name is the Kingdom of Yeshua Hamashia bka Jesus Christ and His Father Yahweh. There is a GREAT Gospel/Hebrew Hip Hop Artist known as Eshon Burgundy that has a true calling and anointing for making music that teaches the truth about who we are the people and following the Gospel of Yeshua and living for Yahweh. LOOK UP HIS SONG THIRTY THREE THE JOHNNY P CADDY REMIX, THEN FOLLOW HIS MUSIC FROM THERE. Shalom P.S. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY ANOTHER EXCELLENT BODY OF WORK BRO!!! SALUTE AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING SO PASSIONATE WITH COMMITTED TO FINDING ALL THE FACTS AND TRUTH SURROUNDING THE ORIGIN AND TRUE PIONEERS OF HIP HOP. SALUTE KING✊🏾🙏🏾💪🏾☝🏾✡️👑

They said in the video that Kool Dee was the 1st with professional DJ set and by his admission he started in 73. What the ppl close to Mario are saying is he was already DJ'ing in 71 in the carriage room in his building but with basic equipment. It has already been stated on this channel years ago that Mario borrowed Kool Dee's equipment before he got his own

The problem is many people don't have the proper knowledge on what DIsco music was and how Disco culture gave birth to HipHop: 1) So-called "Disco" music is nothing more than R&B in the macro sense and "Funk" and Soul" music in the micro sense. What the HipHOp community keeps referring to as "Breaks/breakbeats" IS EXACTLY THE SAME MUSIC that was played in "Discos." Go look up the playlists of what people like Grandmaster Flowers, Nicky Siano, David Mancuso, Francis Grasso etc.. were playing. HipHop's fav breaks will be included 2) Within the music that came to be known as "Disco" which was really just R&B in the macro sense but Soul and Funk in the micro sense, there was a strand that became popular with "Hustle" dancers, and that type is what came to be described as the 4 on the floor with hissing hi-hats aka Philly Soul which is more like orchestral Soul/Funk. The other type of "Disco" was more "Raw" and was more like Funk in its raw state w/o the strings. That type could be more like James Brown, Earth Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang, New Birth etc... .The latter type is what HipHop would focus more on but EVEN that type was played in the Discos...even those "gay" Discos were rocking those joints. . . . Disco culture was around before HipHop so it influenced the people in it. Before "HipHop" actually was named, it would have been seen as "Hood Disco" to most people. The 2 turntable setup and the Hustle dance along with the Freak, should've made that obvious. The difference between what came to be HipHop and Disco culture from a musical and dance POV, was: 1) birth of the bboys (dancing on the floor) 2) rapping mcs (the reason hiphop became a genre of music distinct from disco) 3) scratching of the records (the clear and obvious distinction between disco djing and hiphop djing) . . . So many people are used to associating "Disco" with the likes of the Village People and Donna Summers, that it completely distorts what Disco really was (R&B->Soul & Funk) and how it connects to HipHop (2 turntable setup), so when they see the word "Disco" in Mario's name or "Brothers Disco" (breakout and Baron), they often think that represents what they were actually was doing.

@@TheCulture..Started1971 Not the lifestyle of "Disco" but the music/djing/turntablism aspects of "Disco culture". The answer to the question you asked about @ around kzitem.info/news/bejne/w6Vj3YiYqoxhdn4 or 26:16 about the Merry-Go-Round vs the Quick Mix, both pertain to Disco Djing influences/foundations. You know what scene where the focus on the "Break(s)" of a records was established? In the "Disco" scene. The only difference is no one was dropping to the floor like Bboys did later on HipHop. Kool Herc was basically doing crude "Disco" djing due to his lack of mixing skills, while Flash was doing "Disco" djing taken to the next level.
