peace y'all it's your boy Johnny fastan
0:01
here with allhiphop.com so recently Fat
0:04
Joe has been going viral for his
0:06
comments that he made about FBA but what
0:09
is or who is FBA I'm going to break all
0:13
that down right now here's everything
0:15
you need to know let's talk hip
0:28
hop FBA stand for foundational black
0:31
Americans that's any African-American
0:33
born here in the US whose ancestors were
0:36
bought here against their will so most
0:38
black Americans are automatically FBA
0:40
while black Caribbean people and black
0:42
Africans don't necessarily fall under
0:44
that same umbrella now this is a very
0:47
brief history but African-Americans here
0:49
in the United States they weren't
0:51
allowed to own anything they also
0:53
weren't allowed to read or write so it
0:56
was very difficult for them to
0:57
communicate with each other so this is
0:59
when music became extremely important
1:02
black people would communicate with each
1:04
other through singing hymns and even
1:06
making beats by tapping on things fast
1:09
1973 when Hip Hop was created by a black
1:13
man born in the Caribbean DJ Co herk
1:16
who's actually from Jamaica now he was
1:18
in the Bronx at the time and he was
1:20
around other black Americans and also
1:23
black Caribbeans also Puerto Ricans and
1:26
Dominicans specifically now hold up
1:29
let's let's let's break this down real
1:30
quick right because Dominicans they're
1:32
from the same island as Haitians right
1:34
so Haiti and the Dominican Republic they
1:37
share an island half of it got taken
1:39
over by the French during colonization
1:41
the other half got taken over by Spain
1:44
right so that's why a lot of people from
1:46
Dr Dominicans know Creole and a lot of
1:49
people who are from Haiti know Spanish
1:51
right during this same time Spain took
1:54
over the entire island of Puerto Rico
1:56
they actually brought some Africans with
1:58
them to Puerto Rico during col ization
2:00
but there was already a group of people
2:02
there a large tribe of indigenous people
2:04
called the boras so Puerto Ricans are a
2:07
combination of indigenous peoples the
2:09
bodua African peoples and also European
2:13
Spaniards this brings us to today where
2:16
black people in the United States have
2:17
seen our culture be picked apart bit by
2:20
bit and gentrified for the last 400
2:23
years the only thing that we still have
2:25
left that we actually created ourself is
2:29
hip hop and that's where Lord Jamar
2:31
comes in he feels like a rapper like
2:33
Eminem could never be Hil as the
2:35
greatest MC of all time because of the
2:37
simple fact that he's white and if we
2:39
say that Eminem is the greatest rapper
2:41
of all of us that's like handing our
2:43
culture over to Elvis like what we did
2:46
back in the days with rock and roll so
2:48
since Lord Jamar has these stance he's
2:51
also questioned the notion that Puerto
2:53
Ricans and Dominicans helped create
2:55
hip-hop in the first place right so he's
2:57
called out krs1 crazy legs and even Fat
3:01
Joe now Fat Joe was from the Bronx he
3:03
was there when hip-hop was created he's
3:05
a pretty dope MC and he's been very
3:08
influential in hip-hop overall for like
3:11
the last 30 years so here's where the
3:14
conundrum lies because Lord Jamar is not
3:16
wrong but neither is Fat Joe in December
3:19
of 2024 Fat Joe sat down with Matt hafa
3:22
to discuss his issues with Lord Jamar in
3:24
FBA although Fat Joe didn't say any
3:27
names it was clear that he fell Ed at
3:30
the notion that LD Jamar insinuated that
3:32
Fat Joe is not hipop now I believe that
3:36
Fat Joe misspoke when he said these
3:43
radical black racists that don't want to
3:46
hear Jamaican gyes don't want to hear
3:49
they don't want to hear black guy that
3:51
ain't down with them the FBA uh
3:54
foundational black Authority whoever the
3:56
[ __ ] these broke [ __ ] is that he's
3:58
being attacked by black racist that
4:00
foundational black Americans are broke
4:02
that's like calling every black American
4:04
broke once he said that thousands of
4:07
black Americans called for Fat Joe to
4:09
apologize he refused and now his
4:12
statements are echoing throughout
4:14
hip-hop itself first fago allegedly got
4:17
booed in Chicago in January of
4:24
2025 then he said that he's stepping
4:26
down as the host of the BET Hip Hop
4:29
Awards despite hosting the awards for 3
4:32
years in a row I resigned as host of the
4:35
BET Hip Hop Awards with new releases
4:38
from both Fat Joe and Lord Jamar it
4:40
doesn't seem like either one of these
4:42
MC's are going to step back anytime soon
4:45
and that's pretty sad because both of
4:46
them are lyrical their Legends and hipop
4:49
needs them both so hopefully these MC's
4:51
can find some common ground we're doing
4:54
more videos like this in 2025 what did
4:56
you think about this format let us know
4:59
