It was 40 years ago today that DJ Kool Herc played that fateful party at
1520 Sedgwick Avenue and kick-started a movement. Hip-hop is often
called a “young genre,” but after four decades of hip-hop culture and 35
years of hip-hop on wax–maybe it’s time to acknowledge that hip-hop is a
lot more middle-aged than we’d like to think. The genre has given us
everything from the Treacherous Three to Young Jeezy, inspired movies as
wide-ranging as Beat Street and 8 Mile. Superstars
like Will Smith and Queen Latifah emerged as rappers first, and classic
hip-hop tracks are now providing the soundtrack to romantic comedies and
car commercials.
