One can not speak of the roots of Hiphop Culture without mentioning New York’s street gangs of the 1970s. At the time, The Bronx was truly a concrete jungle yet it was there in the middle of “gorilla warfare” that Hiphop Culture was born. Gangs like the Black Spades (Afrika Bambaataa was a BS warlord), Savage Skulls, Savage Nomads, and the Ghetto Brothers control the streets. The movie “The Warriors” is infamous in our culture. Bambaataa went on to transform the Black Spades into Zulu Nation and the rest is history.
