The Rickey Smiley show disagrees with Fat Joe’s comments about the origin of hip-hop. Fat Joe has come under scrutiny for saying that hip-hop was created by Latinos, said Gary With Da Tea. Best known for his early 2000 tracks, Fat Joe, has been a staple in the music industry for decades
Rickey Smiley wanted to know if the Latinos had a song that came out before “Rapper’s Delight.” Da Brat said, “not that the world know.” The morning show discussed rap groups that could have put out the first record, such as Menudo or The Jets.
“If you wanna go way back to the African villages when they was beating on them drums. I mean that was technically hip-hop even before hip-hop,” said the radio DJ.
