DESCRIPTION:

August 11 marks the anniversary of the birth of Hip-Hop.

In 1973, DJ Kool Herc (Clive Campbell) and a sibling created a jam session in one of the rooms of their apartment at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the West Bronx.

The first hip-hop party had a cover charge of $.25 for women and $.50 for men.

Hip-hop's inspiration is urban renewal, which emerged from the neglect of the Nixon administration toward poor Hispanic and black communities. The 70s generation of youth expressed themselves by DJing, breakdancing, MCing, and graffiti, all elements of hip-hop.

Fab Five Freddy first coined the term hip-hop to define the four pillars of the said movement.
