We should never forget the contribution of Black American traditions in Double Dutch and Hand Games when it comes to the inceptions of rapping. The cadence, the rhymes, etc had a major impact on Jive (rap). These aspects of the culture were DOMINATED by Soul Black American women.
Amazing.
And maybe I should make a correction….Dominated by Black American Young women and girls! The woman were the teachers but these are kids!
They were so young doing all of that. Culture. As a kid i used to just sit back and watch the girls do it cause I was never able to jump in correctly when I tried 😂😂 🤷🏿♂️
Speed.
The skill. They make it look so easy!
Black American Culture.
“Double Dutch is a rhythm.”
