The History of Hip Hop - Eric Reese - Bog

The rap game transformed urban America forever and the 1980s!
From infancy to a new culture, a new urban music style known as hip hop paved way for inner cities; creating local talented artists who popped up from all over the boroughs of Brooklyn and the Bronx. "The Golden Era" was just coming into its own while MCs; Kurtis Blow, DJ Kool Herc, Afrikan Bambatta, Melle Mel, Whodini, Kool Moe Dee, Schoolly D, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, NWA and others brought a sound that remains America's urban loudest voice in modern history.

Nowadays, rap and trap artists worldwide have America's ghettos to thank for their successful music careers. Paying homage to the original OGs of hip hop shouldn't be demanded. As Nas said it best, "It's not hard to tell."
