But if someone can find one shred of evidence that MC Montezuma was rocking the mic at cyphers in southside Tenochitlan, with his DJ's using two tortillas as records to scratch with, please, let me know.

I would say you have the most ignorant comments I have ever read.

Poetry back then had music playing in the background while they recited the poetry.

Do your research on Nezahualcoyotl. Even though he was not "Aztec" as you claim, he came from Mexico.

He was a playa & a gangsta.

He's so great that they put him on the $100 peso with some verses from his poems.

Right, but not all the caribean-latinos are afro-mestizos, many boriquas are a mix of indigenous people and europeans like the mexicans, many others have roots in other countries of latin america like peru and colombia, actualy there are also some white people in the roots of hiphop, specially in the graff scene.

It really doesnt matter who started what, alot of people had their part in it to make hip hop and Latin hip hop what it is today... When its playin, nobody is sitting there or standing there thinking, oh I wonder who invented or who started hip hop, I know I dont and more than half the people listenin to it isnt so props to whoever invented it and props to the people who are keepin it going!! West coast, East coast, world-wide, it doesnt matter... its here and thats all that should matter.
