From Run DMC To Public Enemy | Everything You Need To Know About Old School Hip-Hop

Hip-hop has been around for 50 years, but where did it come from and what truly defines the genre? We take a look at the history, the philosophy and the innovators like DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill Gang and more. We dive into the spinning, the breakdancing, the politics, rapping, and well, everything you need to know about Hip-Hop. Is old school better than contemporary?

Thanks for having Public Enemy in it, the best rap-group ever.

[@Goatchild90]

Happy 50th Hip Hop Nuff respect due

[@hankstephens9776]

Impressive!!!

[@christophermoore5328]

I never want to see or hear about any artists that came out after 2000. You tricked me.I used to say hip hop ended around 2000. I'm forced to admit they still exist. But don't like it.

[@Squirt69]

Nobody cares. It’s all lame now.

[@TronthaDon913]

It is lame now for the most part but the history of this lifestyle is important.

Mr Magic was the first to play rap music on the radio @wbls1075nyc. His name was not mentioned!!
