  5. Stop the myth, so called hip hop did not start in NY. Nothing was created in NY, no dance, no music, no clothing styles, no rapping or MC ing. So called hip hop is Black culture created in Black communities across America. How in the hell can a man walk into a building with existing culture and claim to have created something. Stop the fairytale.
