Part 1/8:
The Birth and Evolution of Hip-Hop Culture
Hip-hop is often mistaken for just a musical genre, but it encompasses a broader cultural movement that emerged in the Bronx during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This unique expression of art, identity, and community was born out of the need to recreate the energy of disco clubs that inner-city youth could not access. Instead, these young creators took to the streets, developing a vibrant culture that would revolutionize music and artist expression globally.
