From the Bronx block parties of the 1970s to a global cultural force — trace the MCs, DJs, producers, and movements that made hip-hop the dominant musical genre of our era.
DJ Kool Herc's back-to-school party at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx on August 11, 1973, is widely considered the birth of hip-hop, where he pioneered the "merry-go-round" technique of isolating and extending drum breaks between two turntables. Hip-hop became the most consumed music genre in the United States in 2017 according to Nielsen, surpassing rock for the first time, with streaming accounting for over 80% of its consumption. The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur's East Coast-West Coast rivalry in the mid-1990s defined a generation of hip-hop before both were murdered months apart (Tupac in September 1996, Biggie in March 1997), and their unsolved cases remain two of music history's most enduring mysteries.
