About Hip Hop Music
Origin.
On January 10, 1960 in the Bronx
of New York City a child by the name of
Kevin Donovan was born. This date is
important to any Rapper, DJ, Breakdancer,
Graffiti Artist B-Boy or B-Girl
PERIOD.
It's hard to stack the huge
success and beginning of Hip Hop on any
one person but Afrika Bambaataa is
definitely a solid rock in the
foundation. Not very many people would
argue with me about that
statement.
As a teenager Bambaataa ran with
a gang called the Black Spades. He served
as a member representing the Bronx River
Projects where he laid his head many
nights. In 1973 (The Year I Was Born)
Afrika Bambaataa started his own street
crew and called them the "Zulu Nation"
also known as "The Universal Zulu
Nation"
He came up with the name after
watching the movie about a Powerful
warrior named Shaka Zulu of the Zulu
Warriors.
His gang was responsible for
many neighborhood beat downs before he
was approached by some Muslim leaders who
influenced his decision to break
positive.
He did very well with leadership
from the 70's through the 80's. In the
90's the Zulu Nation fell under control
of world council who now controls the
Universal Zulu Nation.
Zulu Nation members have come a
long way, they have some every high
personnel that include judges, lawyers
and even Artist such as the
Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, A Tribe Called
Quest, George Clinton,
and "
mama Zulu" Queen Latifah
just to name a few.
The Hip Hop Music Origin Begins
with neighborhood block parties and
the Zulu Nation
. Back in the day Hip Hop was
called B-Bop of "The Go Off". The words
Hip Hop were created by legendary DJ Luv
Bug Starsky. Amongst many other talents
that Bambaataa carried...one of them was
the role of a neighborhood DJ with MADD
equipment.
His ill collection of vinyl
included 25 crates. So if you want to
know who the real Super Friends are it's
not the DC Comic Book Crew from 1978.
It's Afrika Bambaataa, Mr. Biggs, Pow
Wow, G.L.O.B.E., Dj Jazzy Jay and EZ
LG....You might know them collectively as
the Soul Sonic Force.
This is the group that single
handedly pioneered Electro-Funk, Drum
& Bass, Techno and gully break beats
the ran from Rock to R&B to African
to Latin, Calypso and classical. Hip Hop
