Summary
"Hip hop music is one of America's true home-grown art forms and certainly one of her most significant cultural exports, with local hip hop scenes now thriving worldwide. The birth of hip hop music is commonly dated to the release of the Sugarhill Gang's classic track "Rapper's Delight," which was the first rap song to make the Billboard Top 40 list (peaking at #36 in January 1980.) Currently, much credit goes to the Bronx for the "invention" of hip hop: the Universal Hip Hop Museum just broke ground there. This book is the untold history of how Harlem helped ignite the revolution that changed music and American culture"--, Provided by publisher
