People from 500 years ago: Oh my, this guy is such a bastard, a genocidal butcher, a total piece of garbage. Let’s keep records of this douche so people from the future shall hate him too. 

So yeah, people who insist that “times were just different back then” are racism apologists, whether they realize it or not. That worn out excuse is as old as slavery itself. Call those fuckers out.

At that party on August 11th, DJ Kool Herc used a new technique he’d been working on to loop drum and percussion breaks on records. Extending the break by using 2 copies of the same record on separate turntables let the drum heavy instrumental sections of a song become a canvas for artistic experimentation and expression. These blended loops formed a foundation for emcees and dancers. On that night in 1973 the musical elements of Hip-Hop came together in a new way that hadn’t been seen before. The events of that night were a catalyst that would start the spread of Hip-Hop from parties in the Bronx and New York until it became a global phenomenon.
