yo rage been reading your post on rhythmism and seems like you only got half the story correct. Dont wanna waste time arguing with you cause it seems like you only talk bout kool herc and 1971, while yes that is the beggging of hip hop culture THAT should not be disputed. But it is not the begging of the djing culture nor the house side of the culture. The beggings go back to the 60s with dj like francis grasso, steve dcquisto, david mancuso, doin so many innovation and creations, while simutaniously up in the bronx kool herc was doin his thing with the same records that were already beeing used in the 60s by the above djs name. While he may have done it for hip hop culture he was behind a few yrs from other pioneers.
