Here is part one of the 3 part mini series "The Hip Hop Years" this episode covers the birth of hip hop culture and how it spread to a worldwide phenomenon.
If i took hip hop classes, GZA would be the science teacher, KRS for history, Rakim for English classes, Mos Def for mathematics, Dilla for music theory, Nas for Language Arts and Chuck D for P.E
Fuck yes.
and master p and russell Simmons for business economics and snoop doog for chemistry or sex education 101. 2-pac for social and political science for cultural studies. That would be almost like school or the university of hard knocks run by the hip hop creaters.
where's cube? where's dre? ice t? kool moo dee? havard vs princeton shizzled perhaps
WORD
nah, immortal technique, paris or menteroja would be the history teacher
Never forget about the 70's. It's the 70's that brought us Hip Hop. If it wasn't for the 70's, there wouldn't be no Hip Hop culture. Respect the roots!
"Here Comes The Judge" was released by Pigmeat Markham in 1968 but it didn't spark a sucessive movemnt or trend at that time.
@@fredsmith2378 wow
Hip hop started in bronxdale , RIP Disco King Mario
Its still is underground... The real hip hop that is..
Thank You NewYork...And A Big Shot Out To The Jamaican Sound Systems,
Big Herc Is Jamaican and Jamaicans Have Been Rocking The Mic For Years.
@Starlin Peña from a guy with Jamaican roots.
Ask Mos and Talib, they will tell you that hip hop has reggae roots.
facts Bronx Love 183
One love
That’s been debunked. Herc started in the wreck room with house speakers. It was the park djs that had the big sound systems. And I’ve heard herc bought his speakers off of them.
@@davesargent7304I'm reading talib's book vibrate higher right now he mentioned it.
The media always gives Disco music a negative image. Growing up as a Black teenager in the 70's, I hung around my people. We rarely, rarely mixed socially with whites. The Disco music that the White media always touts was not the Disco tracks we were playing and dancing to. The so-called "Disco Music" we, in our Black community (those of us who were into more uptempo 4/4 things and Disco) was really uptempo R&B, Soul & Funk along side the more soulful, funky side of Disco. We played a lot of those same James Brown records that the hip hop kats were playing at our so-called "Disco" underground (Black/Latin) clubs/parties we were going to. Our core sound was that 4/4 Philly Sound, Motown dance cuts, and whatever was coming out of NYC on those independent labels that the UK calls "boogie" and that was nothing but R&B/Funk with a 4/4 kick. We also were playing Jazz-Funk records, Latin Funk & Soul next to Cerrone, Giorgio Moroder's "Evolution", Martin Circus, Change, Gino Soccio, Machine and other Funky Disco tracks. This Black/Latin underground club scene grew along side the hip hop scene but stayed underground and very separate b/c certain elements of the scene had a "gay" element. The straight Black/Latin kids were going to the Paradise Garage, Zanzibar, The Loft (the three big underground "pioneering" clubs) and created a culture of music, fashion, language and dance that with the creation of Chicago's House music is now what we call "Soulful House". We also played those early Hip Hop records, not all but the ones that had that groove like a 4/4 uptempo R&B tune. Please, DJ Red Alert does so-called "Disco" a/k/a uptempo R&B dance sets on WBLS-FM in NY and be killin' it.
word whats up with that ,,,as if they totally ignore the record Good times by chic was not used to create the first hip hop record - rappers delight - as for me i break dance to disco,,in 78''' media bullshit hype it was - this cause the beef when traditional Caucasian rock burned discos albums @ shee stadium.
Y'all skins should not matter when it comes to music. It's universal. Stop with the bullshit
...You Just Had to Be In New York City In The '70s and '80's !!!
Where Hip-Hop Started !!!
...Nuff Said !!!
Imagine Twitter back then...
"Hank ain't tweet my cassette! He ain't even write his Rapper's Delight verse!"
-@fastcashcass
Taylor Chausky 😂
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know right.
imagine what their Twitter beef would be like back then 😂😂😂😂 lol I'm deceased you took me out ??.
hip hop is the best music ever
Very rarely do other genres touch on various topical subject matter. Every other genre is generally just ‘love, love, love, she/he left me’
Hip hop began as a reaction to Disco, then became as pop as Disco. How sad.
Wish I could go back to The Bronx in the summer of 1982.
Absolutely fantatic. A real eye-opener that intensifies one's respect for Hip-Hop and Rap. From a small-time Australian white girl. (maybe a poet, definitely a visual artist, but definitely not a musician!
The sad thing is that Hip-Hop started because DISCO was so far from the reality of Black Ghetto life. Now Hip-Hop today is so far from Black ghetto life. "Oh The irony"
New movement needs to come through.
People singing about $200,000 cars and flying first class, not many can relate to that.
Muxi Max Damn.
Hip hop has always been braggadocios so rappers are just doing what they always have.
There’s still a lot of rappers that rap about what life is like for average African Americans and what life is like in the hood, popular artists like Kendrick Lamar, JCole, Pusha T, Killer Mike, etc. There’s artists like Childish Gambino, Kanye, Chance, & Earl Sweatshirt who have sampled and taken influence from music from their roots: soul, gospel, Afrobeat, RnB, & blues.
Actually hip hop will allways stay true to where it came from and the streets I think u mean rap has has gone so far, hip hop will never change
this documentry inspires me to make music history
The creativity of using different beats is what made rap music so interesting in the beginning!
Before Herc there was Pete Jones, Grand Master Flowers (where Flash got his name from)...
right now we are living in exciting times , its trendy corporate music vs quality music and there is going to be something that is going to pop in the air waves that is going to blow the trendy shit out the ears of ppl who have been program to think that low quality music is hot , i cant wait to see that period of time
I am two years from future, and it is still trendy corporate vs quality.
3 years ahead now and the best we got from recent is eminem and j.cole
Coming to you from 5 years in the future where times are not exciting and the quality of commercial garbage has degraded further but is now more popular than ever.
Jazzy Jay said something that is still relevant today “None of the good music is played on the Radio”.
The glasses Bang Booty wearing, my mother had them in the 80's.
From Jamaica he came to bring us Music!!!!!
Wow, I remember watching all this and loving it back in ? 1999 on channel 4 uk. Hard to believe 25 years have passed …
Thank you NYC Thank you Kool Herc, thank you for Hip Hop. I was born 1972, England, a white kid... as far from the Bronx as you could imagine but loved the stuff in the 80s, Electro, onto Yo MTV Raps, Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions. Rap with meaning and heart. Makes me sad what it is now, just bling, booty and blagging !
The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, a great breakthrough in music.
Hip hop, Punk, Disco, Street Rock... you name it, the moral of the story is that NYC has been the beacon of worldwide culture since the 70s.
oh and spoonie gee was one of the starting masters too. look him up.
Now you would have thought Neucleus would have got a mention Jam on it and Wiki wiki masive hip hop joints in the day.
Rock was also a black invention that has been appropriated!
was that DJ red alert at 17:00
not really, country music and folk music was appropriated by blacks to make blues. Rock evolved from all those sources.
Poison Control The west Africans brought to America had traditional folk music before they left the continent.West African people still to this day play traditional music.The word folk is European word to described their traditional music .. Basically all cultures around the planet have their traditional music.If u listen to Malian music u can hear remnants of blues.
True. Chuck Berry is the Godfather of Rock N Roll.
@@poisoncontrol4488 well Rock N Roll was just a bunch of white guys ripping off people like Chuck Berry.
Cassanova Fly deserves a writing credit on Rapper Delight.
A credit?... He wrote the entire lyric... Nile Rodgers of Chic wrote the music...
Facts Facts Facts. .One of my best underground rappers. Long live thevCOLD CRUSH BROTHERS....CANT FORGET THE FANTASTIC 5.
It's the same song at 13:35, Isaac Hayes - The Look Of Love. Was also in the Dead Presidents Soundtrack.
woow, this is thee best hiphop doc i ever seen, it literally step by step showed the evolution of the culture in the beginning
mutha fuckin Crazy Legs. I remember being excited to see Beat Street because we were finally going to get to see Crazy Legs and not just HEAR about him.
Look at hip hop today, wtf happened
Respect to everyone who tries to keep all of the elements alive and true

man, i have these all on tape, used to stay up late and record from channel 4... damn that was like 14 years ago! thankfully this is online though, iv no vhs player anymore
This is one of the most comprehensive history lesssons of hip hip. Next to the Chuck D documentary this is one of the BEST
Which one?
Amazing soundtrack to this documentary
This documentary was made in 1999, so it is now older than Rapper's Delight was when they filmed this. 🤯
@ 24:04 "the ultimate point", Hiphop is where it is all encompassed, All that music B-Boys used is housed under Hiphop, including Funk, Electro, Jazz etc; Kool Herc states this at around 24:25 minutes. Yet again, making my point even stronger. The hippity Hiphop!!!
I remember when cats when take a Black marker and redact the artist and name of the song-lol
one of the best hip hop documentaries!
I have to do a project on the history of hip hop. I know next to nothing about this type of music so this was a big help!
LOVE HIP HOP
Vaugh Mason & Crew on that Brunswick label took me back...
Thank you for uploading!!! The music takes on a whole new life when you learn about the culture behind it, what drives it forward as an art form. Youth will never stop fighting the power, keeping the discussion alive, and that is what's UP!
Real Hip Hop.
it hurts me 2 c what hip hop has come 2 i was a hip hop head. i dont listen 2 this so call hip hop now i listen 2 reggae now of days...
I keep all my late 80's early 90's shit on CD and listen to that. I don't play none of this new garbage
I listen to old-school. Lil Wayne birthed these mumble rappers and shit is trash.
Check out locksmith and apollo brown, will refresh your paradigm for hip hop
You sound like a mong
expand your taste. there’s just as many great rappers now as there were before. forget about the mainstream
I'm outt crying out here wondering where did we go wrong 😔 all peace to hiphopa
ohhhh bratha. i love it.
WoWonderful B-Boy and B-Girl Unite!!
Wow that made me feel GOOD im a rock heavy metal hardcore head glad to know we re a "minority", it makes it more exciting now every time I go to a show a concert even a bar with the local rock band playing
this documentary is surprisingly revealing about early hip hop. its crazy that so many of the early hip hop "legends" have such a phony luster surrounding their status or lack there of. although these old school heads didn't have orchestrated beefs to sell records the way many of the low to no talent pop rappers do today they were apparently still mad petty & seem bitter & resentful to this day.
at the very least its dope to see how so many of them helped each other get on.
true history of Hip Hop, beautiful, astonishing, WE ARE HIP HOP!!!
So nice to see people stoned in a interview :-)
Where are the other episodes?? Can't find them anywhere 😐💖
I love real Hip Hop.
Powerful documentary .. Hip hop I love you
Brilliance!!!!!
it dont matter who actually created this master piece, what matters is that we keep this music bumping because today theres this so call 'Rapers' are just garbage that dont deserve to be called rapers! OLD SCHOOL ALL THE WAY
And there are many Jazz musicians that are also by default in Hiphop.Give respect to Hiphop artists. Anyone who was used by Hiphop is Hiphop art or inspired by it, There involvement makes them Hiphop because when you listen to it they are in Hiphop songs.
I'm annoyed that none of these documentaries 'hip hop years' mention reggae and the profound influence of jamaican culture. Kool Herc was Jamaican and was initially influenced by reggae/dancehall and the sound system culture, there should be mention of it here. otherwise banging docu
Skinshape No mention of the godfather of Rap, Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite.
facts!
Facts if u don't know u just don't know Respect 183 Bronx Ny
i love the beats especially from part 1!
original like back in the days great work to all in the video & the making of it

Thanks for uploading this; I haven't watched it since Channel 4 first broadcast it.
Great to see all that old footage cut with new interviews. It's a shame there isn't an official high definition release..
the incredible bongo band is sooo sampled there is a whole documentary about it.
money come and go but legends live in the history books
Awesome upload= thanks for the post - trying to school my peoples - Hip Hop - especially old school infuses everything! Only wish Hip Hop still felt its roots...these days
In the '70s outside the Bronx literally nobody knew what rap was yet. Everybody was disco fever or punk rock, and in the suburbs they loved the hard rock.
Doug Whimbish! Don't sleep on the bass, on the melodies of the music.
grandmaster caz got a groove hat on. big fucking ups :)
electro, hip hop and rap started in the late 70's and early 80's in NY by African Americans. and yes Latinos was in the mix too because they lived where African Americans lived at in NY. I know I was in high school then. know your history before you talk please. you youngsters need to sit down, shut up and learn. and this is something else you need to learn first- RESPECT.
Wow this was actually one of the best hip hop docs ive ever seen
Awesome documentary,originally on channel 4 in UK if memory serves me correctly.
Thanks for uploading :),,,And 22 dislikes?WTF !!
great documentary
Wake up the next day.. might do it again. hahaha!

thanks for the upload, always nice to see stuff with decent quality and not cut into 100 parts on youtube. saves me the trouble of tracking it down and downloading.
Thanks for getting this video
Dj Kool Herc was influenced greatly by Jamaican sound system culture. But What dj Kool Herc did was regrettable, instead of acknowledged his Jamaican roots and influenced he pretended to be American why? Because back in the 1970s you would be teased if you came from the Caribbean thus not taken seriously. Some people actually thought that the Jamaican sound system culture was a new phenomenon which started in the 70s, but actually Jamaican had two turn tables and a microphone with tall tower speakers from the 1940s giving street dancing in the inner city ghettos of Kingstown, look it up. Count matchuki, U Roy, king stitch and others are the creators. Bronx or anywhere else in the states didn't have that street dj concept in the 40s, 50s, or 60s. It wasn't until Kool Herc started to give block parties in the 70s where he copied the conceptual ideas from Jamaicans, however he never played reggae or dancehall primarily playing Disco and funk instead.
Wow i didnt know that thankyou for the knowledge
Lil wayne is on Label that has links way back to RUN DMC, LL COOL J, and was the first Record label to resurrect Hiphop after the Disco era suddenly ended due to trendiness and a lack of respect to the "Funk Rap" phenomenon. Many Funk rap records existed from 1979 to 1982.
Long-live Hip Hop, in all It's glory~
Much Love
this 🎥 is on 🔥!
Since sampling is taking ownership. Now in reverse James Brown is definitely Hiphop; Kraftwerk is definitely in a lot of Hiphop and Booty-Hop. So, Sorry but, James Brown is in the Nucleus of Hiphop due to sampling. The funky drummer is really - Clyde Stubblefield. So therefore,He is Hiphop, down to a snare samples, still used today. The Origins of Hiphop are unquestionable, Funkadelic, and George Clinton are in Hiphop; they are in it, they are in the Hiphop music itself. No question about it!
If you listen closely Fab five freddy is explaining how he exploited Hip Hop to a ppl that was going to own and control it till this day. This is one of the first death blows to Hip Hop. All because he wanted to get put on.
Ashley's Roachclip, it's also part of the song playing in the beginning with the horns
I remember club Sparkle and I can't forget the Stardust and the first original Fever and the Roseland ballroom
THANKS 4 UPLOADING THIS
damn! that was just going crazy!
Isaac Hyes - The look of love
Its so weird and bizarre that something that started on the streets and in the pjs ended up in the most exclusive apartments and billion dollar houses. Think that most agree when I say hip hop is kinda dead, wonder wha tthe next big thing will be? :O
this is a pretty dope doco. cheers!~
knowledge glad i saw this
Yessss ha ha you gotta keep them beats to ya self. Rinse em quick before other cats recognize the sources of them breaks.
Still the same today.
Good doc and thanks for the upload.
Kool Herc en-cultured the people who became Original Hiphop. Such as Grandmaster Flash, The Treacherous Three, Bizzy Bee, The South Bronx, etc.
this is the only video ive seen without ANYdislikes.. good
Everything is really a development!! We all have a chance to create something in our life time. We we do it???

AWESOME documentary, nice upload ;)
Nice video!
Outstanding..!! Brings back many great memories.. Thanks for sharing.. I've never seen this documentary.. So I take it you'll be posting the rest at some point in time..? I sure hope so.. Glad to see Doug Wimbish get a some credit.. Him and the rest of the Sugar Hill house band(Keith & Skip) contributed a lot to those tracks..
Kool Herc is such a g.
