Showing a joke of a woman who cheated her way into the Olympics and who doesn't represent the true Hip Hop culture isn't an argument. It's a cherry picking logic fallacy.
If you making any modern music that follows a scale, you can throw a shout out to Pythagoras and the ancient Greeks for inventing the tunings, using maths to determine the relationships between chords etc. Almost everything in most modern music relies on those scales.
I'm not gonna argue with you man, but it would be real sweet if you read some books, traveled outside of your country and educated yourself to improve your perspective on things. There is A LOT of great Hip Hop being made around the world, by great people who are passionate about their craft. Much love and respect to you as human being. Later for whatever gate keeping you feel entitled to.
I'll leave you with something to contemplate. You are in an MPC forum. The MPC was invented by Roger Linn, a white guy, and manufactured by Japanese engineers. Emile Berliner invented the vinyl record and microphone, a German-American. We all in this together bud.
If by books you mean HIS-story books that lie and hide Black culture and inventions yes I can quote some rhetoric.
The instrument to play scales came from Zimbabwe. The Mbira came FIRST BEFORE THE PIANO from the Zambezi (South Africa). THE FIRST PIANO. My kids are from there. I been across the world too homeboy.
STOLEN LIBRARY BOOKS FROM AFRICA. Math that Pythagoras and the Greeks claimed was ALREADY invented by Black people.
Look at the columns
inside the Great Pyramids of Africa.

Then look at the columns in ROME.
Bet you didn't know those
castles you were visiting were built by

MOORES.
Aboriginal Australians identify as Black and refer to themselves as such so they catch hell from the whites like they do in Brazil or Japan. I don't need to fly there. See? No books needed. We in the future now.
You need to leave this Black American
music origin story to me. I know what you don't. I was born in the Bricks.
Before you assume I meant any diss I did not. I'm just showing you it doesn't matter if silk was spun into a jacket in
Korea.
It's not DOPE until
WE wear it. Nobody care if Tinker Hatfield wears his own creations. Michael Jordan is THE GOD of sneaker tech because it is
designed AROUND HIM.Answer me this: Have you clicked on the MPC Legends video I just posted? We give it up to Roger Linn but even he said he ain't SHHH without the GENIUS Black Americans invent ever since WE touched the pads.
WE invented Techno.
We invented Grunge Rock.
We invented Rock and Roll.
We invented
THE DRUMI love all races so let us cook another Kool & The Gang, Isley Brothers, Whitney or George Clinton for you to chase around the globe.
