Happy 50th Anniversary HIP HOP!!🍾🥂
Rap/Hip Hop has come a loooong way through this musical journey. Here's a montage of the most popular genre in music history.
The Jubalaires- Noah (1946)
Pigmeat Markham- Here Comes The Judge (1968)
Coke la Rock (the 1st official "rapper") & DJ Kool Herc (the DJ who made this thing called 'Hip Hop' official with a block party.
Kool Herc's sister, Cindy Campbell was the person who planned the block party that would become the party of the century.
Sylvia Robinson was the founder & CEO of the 1st official Hip Hop record label, Sugarhill Records. The Sugarhill Gang & the Furious Five were the 1st groups signed to the label. The Sugarhill Gang was marketed toward the pop charts/mainstream & the Furious 5 was more for the streets, with The Message being considered the 1st conscious hip hop record.
The Sugarhill Gang- Rapper's Delight (1979)
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five- The Message (1982)
80's Hip Hop
90's Hip Hop
2000's Hip Hop
2010's Hip Hop
2020's Hip Hop
Will Hip Hop make it another 50 years? I guess we'll have to just wait & see. Until next time.
