Spice Says Jamaica Created Hip Hop... Cam Newton Agrees

Cam Newton gave Dancehall artist Spice a platform to claim that Jamaica created hip hop—and never challenged the statement. But is that really what DJ Kool Herc said? In this episode, I examine the historical record, including Kool Herc's own words about James Brown, Black American funk, soul music, and the role they played in creating hip hop. We'll separate the influence of Jamaican sound system culture from the Black American musical traditions that supplied the breakbeats, records, dancers, and sound that became hip hop. History matters. Let's get the story right.
