Brand Nubian ⏤ Wake Up (Reprise in the Sunshine)

HipHop is going 2 The Olympics This Year, so there has been A LOT of buzz going on lately; particularly on the topic of WHO gets Credit 4 Creating 'The Culture'. I'm as disappointed, as I am baffled by the narratives coming from MC Shan & KRS- One regarding the role of Puerto Ricans in the 'Creation' of HipHop. BOTH sound Ignorant & Opportunistic. Meanwhile, Mantronix REVOLUTIONIZED The Sound w/ the 'Roland 808' Drum, & Tito of 'The Fearless 4' was a straight up Beast of an Emcee, but both have been largely silent on the subject. This speaks Volumes.

I give Credit & Thanks 2 Lord Jamar 4 standing '10 Toes Down' on the Subject. I tried 2 B cool on the Topic, but Prof. Griff's Interview on @BlackMagik363 got Me going. In this interview, Griff flip- flopped on WHO Owns the HipHop Origin Story, but he kept trying 2 link it w/ 'Out of Afrika Theory'. I love My Brother, but I gotta call a Spade a Spade. I found his perspective borderline disingenuous; He touts his Father being a Blackfoot Indian, but tries 2 tie Black American Culture 2 Afrika. As We delineate, it's pretty clear that there R stark cultural differences between Aboriginal Americans & Afrikans.

Brother Rob posed excellent questions & I commend him 4 his professionalism. His Thesis on the matter was: If Afrika is The (Original) Source, why is The World emulating Black American Culture & not Afrikan Culture? Griff had 2 acknowledge this Fact, but kept resorting back 2 'Out of Afrika Theory'. THIS motivated Me 2 Repost the above Essay.
