He added a merry go round technique that changed the game & turned up the heat up on the dancefloors, not 2 mention what his partner Coke La Rock was doing on the mic.

With all due respect to Kool Herc's great contribution he did not create the break. What he did was loop the break, he made it continuous hence his creation of the Merry-go-round he pushed something that was already there to the next level and from there you have Grand Master Flash who took what Herc did and pushed it to the next level. From There you have Grand Wizard Theodore who invented scratching and the DJs after them continued to push art of turntablism. DJs in the late 60s early 70s were already mixing and playing breaks in the clubs in the Bronx (as well as park jams) and Manhattan. DJ Kool Herc took what was already in existence and moved the needle forward. He played music that catered to B-boys specifically funk music as well other interesting music that B-boys could dance to.

Herc was the first to hold a block party, he was the first to take the Jamaican idea of toasting over records and to adopt it in the Bronx. From his first sessions Hop Hop developed, Grandmaster Flash and Africa Bambaataa both got their inspiration from Herc. Turnablism comes from Herc. Rap (Toasting) and MCing (hyping the crowd) were separate in Jamaica. James Brown 'rapped' as did the Lost Poets and Wolfman Jack, Herc didn't, but none of them rapped over records. BBoying is from Bambaataa.

Hip-Hop from New York to Now Playlist: With his "Back to School Jam" hosted with his sister in 1973 at their home located at the now iconic address of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, DJ Kool Herc is often credited with sparking the hip-hop movement. A significant aspect of the excitement and intrigue garnered for the hip-hop movement from this event was because of Herc's high-quality, unique spinning styles.

Bongo Rock, into Clap Your Hands, Stamp Your Feet, into The Mexican. Every DJ should own those recods. Bongo Rock was by the Incredible Bongo Band, one of Herc's signature records was Apache by the Incredible Bongo Band, which has a huge breakdown, whenever you heard that you knew Herc was on the decks, so they say. It went on to be covered by Flash on the Wheels of Steel, it became one of the most sampled records of all time, and has been used on a million and one records.

Keep adding billions and trillions to the value of his revolutionary ideas that influenced the WHOLE MUSIC INDUSTRY and will keep having an impact for god knows how many more years to come.

Herc brought Jamaican Sound System culture to New York when he moved there. He used DJ, toasting, sound system and MCing he knew from the Carribean. DJs mixing records together in Hip Hop = Herc. MCs toasting/rapping, over the top = Herc's parties. Flash and Bambaataa copied him. Hip Hop adopted Jamaican music culture in DJing/turntablism and rap. Of the other pillars breakdancing is a mix of James Brown's dance styles and capoeira moves. Graffiti = gang culture from Bambaataa. Things have roots

Kool herc ganó el pulso popular y eso es puro hiphop, mientras master flowers y otros djs no veian con buenos ojos a los breakers, kool hercs les brindo protagonismo completo repitiendo con los vinilos los breaks o cortes, asi las fiestas no se centraban en la parte musical sino en el ritmo y el baile... Y eso gustó mucho más que las fiestas donde ponian el tema íntegro y miraban con malos ojos a los que buscaban el funky... Sudar en la pista como james brown.
