Black americans been doing block parties since at least the 1940's. You can go and listen to black artists from the 40's and 50's who were rhyming.

And another part is a lot of caribbeans that came here in the 80's always talk about how black americans made fun of them because how they dressed a certain way or whatever. They had to adapt black americans style, slang and music.

Bruh also just wiped out decades and decades of church call and response, and radio personalities playing an important role in hip hops vocal delivery. Among other influences.

Bruh is trying to spin a loose affiliation into birthing a whole culture. Imagine us saying we birthed ska and reggae because they were heavily inspired by American R&B. I’ve seen this narrative that Jamaicans created hip hop before but they gotta cut that out.

Not necessarily true. People from the Caribbean have influenced black American culture just as they have been influenced by it as well. Slang and style as well.
