Why is he arguing with this clown off camera? Every element of hip hop came from FBA culture. Have him prove that it wasn't.

Puerto Ricans were simply what I call EA's. Which means early adopters. They were the earliest non-fba adopters.

Not knocking Latinos, but they played no role in inventing hip hop. If they did, you'd have seen elements from their culture in the earliest years of hip hop which you don't. No samples from Puerto Rican artists or genres. No dj's of Puerto Rican descent. No rappers of Puerto Rican descent. They adopted breaking later. There was no Spanish slang being used in any of the songs. There were no Puerto Rican hip hop park events or parties initiated by them. They didn't create things that advanced the genre like scratching or beat box. There were absolutely no signs of hip hop to be found in their native land which suggests all of their exposure to the genre came via exposure to us in our communities and country.

Why is it Soo hard to see that hip hop is from black Americans culture period.

The first break dancer was Trixie

Kool Herc said he was influenced by John Brown, not Latinos

The Oakland I was born into

Dude behind the camera is. Masking his innability to critically yhink with his actual abily to verbally bully the guy thats on camera,heg bad news ,,lets be real your homie ""dont"" like you

So no one's gonna talk about the camera man cataloguing ass for 80% of the video?

It really used to be like this, just randomly. I remember these days. Honestly, it still kind of is. But really more so, a few years ago.

I lived on 27th and Foothill in the 70s with my girlfriend.

Women look way better nowadays

It’s easy to miss this Oakland but the underside was just as bad if not worse than now. Murders and shootings in the early-mid 90s was horrible

no im not lol

am I in this video? 😂 nigga I wasn't even BORN yet but it looks madd lit

I met Pac at Festival of tha Lake. Think it waz 90. I waz in a group home in Frisco. We went 2 tha festival & he walkt up behind me while i waz playin 2pacalypse. I'll nevr 4get that sht. S/o Town Biz 🤘🏾 down tha block by Highland ryte now

Damn I was 6 years old I remember those days tho

Wowwwww...as someone who is not black and has never lived in Oakland or even the city, seeing this is a bittersweet feeling. I looks black and beautiful and positive and CLEAN! The last trip down there it was so trash filled it looked like a garbage truck was overturned. Plus homeless and graffiti everywhere. Totally not complaining about homeless btw, because where the fuck else can you go when your $800 month rent turns into $2000+ a month?! Wood street was a whole city in itself. I hope they dont get fucked with. But anyhow, as a fellow NorCal'r, THIS is what Oakland should look like! THIS is what Oakland needs to be! Smiles and soul kitchens - not Starbucks and gentrification!! Aaaarrrrrgh. 😔 Greed is for sure the deadliest sin. As a matter of fact, it's really the backbone of the six others and could probably be the only one. It will be the end of everything positive and communal...on purpose.

Not a BBL in the building!!!!

They drove up from Fresno, just to be there. Good times.

What a waste of talent an life, who ever put a Mickey in his drank the Lord is gonna punish you BELIEVE ME 😮😮😮

Im from Oakland Ca. And back in da 90's he was the best rapper an wrote for Too $hort, an one of the best an nicest guy, the guy that put a Mickey in his drank was because they wanted to rob an missed up his career

I was introduced to Oakland by Keyshia Cole’s reality tv show.

No, I was like 12, I miss the old Oakland so bad 😭

Thank You for posting this! This is the real Lake Merritt.. No gentrification just good fellowship and positivity. #Relaxation

This is the town i know!!!

Real Oakland 😢

All natural beautiful black women. No BBL's.

Oh WOW! This was way before BBQ-Becky and nem came in and just took over like the true colonizers they are. Lake Merritt BBQ and hanging out by day, Elysian Fields ice-cream and watermelon with moms and pops by night!

Seeing my old neighborhood is a trip now..grew up as a kid on 26th ave the dead end street..was rough around there..but we didn’t really know…until there was a shooting while we were walking home from Hawthorn…that’s when my parents said fuck it.. and we moved to Concord..my mom couldn’t take it anymore..💯🫡✌🏾

Old school Town

You know the racists are gonna try to debunk this 😂.

too bad leggings were invented yet!!!

FBA = drug addicts, drunks and other jail bird losers. Still mad that they were too strung out to be in Wild Style or Beat Street. Save your wack style for the crack vial.

I was in Atlanta at Freak Nic. But i miss the Lake

I forgot about YG

Shock G live across the street from lake Merritt I use to take my son to fairy land and I remember quick ways greasy chicken and 🍟 fries

It'll be a trip seeing myself on video back than.i believe I was here to I was about 22 back than

Love and respect, Lisa (brown -ward) Hope you still remember me....

Real video title should be "Women's butts and vehicles of 1996 Oakland" 90 percent of this video is this guy ogling women's asses, I'm so done☠️🤣

Mom!?!?
