"LET'S TALK ABOUT..." 50 years of Hip Hop: America's Native Tongue
Hip hop is a cultural and artistic movement that was created by African Americans, Latino Americans and Caribbean Americans in the Bronx, New York City. Hip hop culture is characterized by four key elements: rapping, DJing and turntablism, breakdancing, and graffiti. The fifth element is “knowledge of self”. In that spirit, Hip Hop has always been a voice of resistance.
