[00:00:01]FBA hip-hop pioneer Little Rodney C tell the truth that there were no Latinos I call them Latinos because every time you turn around they trying to lie.

[00:00:10]There were no Latinos there at the foundation of hip-hop. It was solely us foundational Black Americans and this is something we on the black FBA grassroots already known that you know hip-hop was solely a foundational Black American creation. You know, but the Latinos you know been trying to get away with that lie for years you know that they were there at the foundation. Then Fat Joe AKA Fat Hoe's ass tried to come through and push that you know 50/50 lie you know which is a bunch of nonsense then we put out the movie Microphone Check debunking that horse crap. You know what I mean because how could it be a you know a 50/50 collaboration on the part of foundational Black Americans and you know Puerto Ricans when you know Puerto Ricans and Latinos were told to stay away from black folks. You know what I mean and that's you know them being told to stay away from black folks. You could bet your last damn dollar that that was you know done out of anti-black racism.

[00:00:58]So I got the audio on the video of our FBA brother Little Rodney C telling the truth you know and speaking truth to power that there were no Latinos there at the foundation of hip-hop and we going to walk through and make it do what it do family. Fair use.

[00:01:12]and the Zulus, Herculoids and the Herculoids. So everybody had their own little crew. Yeah, everybody had their own. Yeah. Yeah. And now when did y'all first start seeing Puerto Ricans at the jams?

[00:01:24]Okay. Now I know there's a lot of controversy about Puerto Ricans being half of the hip-hop. Yeah.

[00:01:32]You can say if you want to give them any credit that they our cousins. [clears throat] And family I ain't even giving them the cousin. You know I ain't giving them no leeway. You know they weren't there at the foundation of hip-hop. It was solely foundational Black Americans and they can cry and you know do whatever the hell they want to do. You know I'm speaking truth to power. They weren't there and I ain't even giving them the cousin thing.

[00:01:57]Okay. They not You know what I mean?

[00:01:59]They not our brothers and sisters. They our cousins.

[00:02:03]Right? Now I'm explaining it to you.

[00:02:06]Puerto Ricans or Latino people are taught not to [ __ ] with us. Yeah. And that's very important what he said right there. Latinos Puerto Ricans were told not to F with foundational [clears throat] Black Americans cuz that shows how can you have a collaboration and you know they weren't even going around foundational Black Americans not in large part and you know Latinos got a lot of you know anti-black racism you know embedded in the culture. That's also what it showed you. You know what I mean?

[00:02:32]Um even over there in those Latino countries. You know what I mean? They keep the darker skin Latinos you know sectioned off in little you know impoverished enclaves and they treated you know less less highly. You know what I mean? And they get a lot of nonsense done to them and that's their own people. You know what I mean? And this is why you know we see with that Latino tether you know Ashley Gonzalez who was the Houston police officer. She was you know practicing that anti-black racism throwing around that N-word like that because that ain't a one-off kind of thing. You know that's something that's you know embedded in Latino culture for the most part. You know what I mean?

[00:03:06]They look they made to look highly of you know darker skin you know people.

[00:03:10]You know they practice a lot of anti-black racism. You know they got something in Latino culture called "mejorar la raza" which means to whiten up the race and Latinos even fought in court you know for the right to be classified as white. You know what I mean? You could bet your last damn dollar that while they trying to say you know that hip-hop the Latinos trying to push that lie that hip-hop was 50/50 you could bet your last damn dollar that that's done out of you know anti-black racism you know to you know cover up you know the the black creation of it you know the foundational Black American creation of it. You know and that's a colonizer tactic like yeah we know it's y'alls and y'all created it but we going to say it's ours anyway you know. But let's continue.

[00:03:49]So they don't.

[00:03:51]Now once Trump started screaming "Deport these motherfuckers." NOW EVERYBODY WANT TO BE our friends. Mhm. Okay. Prior to Everybody want to make it look like it's black and brown unity. You know we all cool. You know we all collective minority. We're a big minority. You know go along to get along. Now that you know Trump is you know deporting their asses quick fast and in a hurry and they doing this because they in fear and they cowardly. They don't know how to stand up to racism white supremacy and they lost their FBA advocacy cuz we were the only ones you know advocating for these foreign fleeing tethers. They don't know how to stand on their own two and hold their own nuts you know. And this is why we tell them you know hold their own nuts right now because the relationship wasn't reciprocal. We was putting out you know more than what we was getting back from these foreign fleeing tethers. But let's continue.

[00:04:39]If you lived in the Bronx in the 60s right and you lived in the projects right you and Puerto Ricans y'all lived together.

[00:04:47]So if you lived on the eighth floor probably out of 16 apartments half of them probably black families half of them Puerto Rican families.

[00:04:59]Your press release shouldn't stop immediate coverage.

[00:05:02]>> Pardon me family. I had to turn that down so I don't get copyrighted. They threw a commercial in there.

[00:05:10]Go. Yeah. Until you go to school with them. Mhm. Now y'all go to class and all that. You get to learn each other but you still don't hang out with each other. Yeah. You get what I'm saying?

[00:05:21]Now there was Puerto Rican gangs just like there was black gangs. So I don't want people to think that they were so united because that wasn't the case. No.

[00:05:31]This And family something else I want to throw in there. I had a Puerto Rican a Latino you know tell me that you know they the same as black people and I had to say no pump your brakes. Y'all ain't the same as us you know. We foundational Black Americans. We the rider class you know and y'all got your own culture you know.

[00:05:47]Y'all and y'all culture got nothing to do with our culture our history and our legacy because what they want to do you know the Latinos along with these Caribbean and African tethers is they want to destiny swap with us real FBA brothers and sisters. They want our history and legacy to be their own. This is why delineation is important representing our foundational Black American lineage cuz it you know provides a form of gatekeeping you know so all of our achievements and accolades you know don't get you know thrown up in the air to some you know big pot of you know you know global one come all minority coalitions this that and the other which is you know a false narrative and a bunch of nonsense. It ensures that you know all of our cultural achievements you know stay locked in the FBA society the way it should be. But let's continue.

[00:06:31]This that that truth actually brought us together and it was hip-hop that calmed the savage beast that actually brought us all together. Mhm. But so so now I heard Fat Joe talking about you know they they they half of the hip-hop. No y'all not. Mhm. Right?

[00:06:53]Don't have of a damn thing. Fat Joe AKA Fat Hoe you know put out that lie as a way to you know be a colonizer and say yeah we know y'all foundational Black Americans you know started and created you know hip-hop but we going to say we created it anyway and that's a colonizer tactic and you could bet your last damn dollar that you know Fat Joe AKA Fat Hoe you know trying to lie about the creation of hip-hop. That was done from a anti-black standpoint you know to try to you know minimize and erase the black foundation. But let's continue.

[00:07:24]Hip-hop was developed and created by us.

[00:07:28]Talk about it.

[00:07:30]What you call us Tariq? Foundational Black American.

[00:07:34]Yeah. Okay. It was it was it was it was it was it was created by the foundation.

[00:07:38]That's it. Now You ain't got no hip-hop without the foundational Black American.

[00:07:43]You can't separate the two. You know they're one in the same. But let's continue.

[00:07:48]They got involved and elevated it on the dance tip. Yeah. Took them a while to get a handle on the hip-hop thing.

[00:07:56]Right? But they took that dance thing to the next level. Yeah but Rodney tell them about the the dance thing.

[00:08:05]>> but you didn't create that dance either.

[00:08:08]Right. You see what I'm saying? You you enhanced it. You made it better. You get what I'm saying? But you didn't create it. Right.

[00:08:17]And you want credit. You want credit.

[00:08:20]Yeah family but you know in closing this is why you know us representing our foundational Black American lineage and delineation is important cuz it shows who the you know true innovators and creators is and you know naturally when you representing your foundational Black American lineage and you know and through the delineation process that naturally is a breeding you know bed for you know gatekeeping and looking out for your fellow foundational Black American brothers and sisters based off of lineage because you know what they want to do is you know destiny swap and you know practice anti-black racism. That's why you know the Latinos you know put out that lie you know Fat Hoe that it was 50/50 as a way to you know try to you know dilute and minimize and erase the black foundation of hip-hop and you can't separate the two because if it wasn't for foundational Black American hip-hop I mean if it wasn't for foundational Black Americans rather you would get no hip-hop. Just my thoughts on the matter but yeah delineation and you know representing our FBA lineage is important because you know that's a breeding bed for gatekeeping and looking out for your fellow FBA brother and sister you know based on lineage. Peace.
