KRS-ONE to celebrate 50 years of Hip-Hop

Peace y'all, it's your boy Johnny Fastlane here with AllHipHop.com

So KRS-One launches a series to celebrate the 50th year of hip-hop

Let's talk hip-hop. Aight, yo, this is pretty dope, right? Because KRS-One is launching a series to commemorate and celebrate 50 years of hip-hop, right

So it all starts with his website, which is going to launch on April 25th called Birthplaceofhiphop.nyc, right

There you're going to be able to register for a bunch of classes. You're also going to be able to enter a competition to create a logo for KRS's series, right

And so this series will be live streamed on the website, but also it's all going to be

in person at 1520 Sedgwick, which is in the Bronx, which is the actual physical birthplace

of hip-hop itself back in 1973, right? Fifty years ago, right? So the whole situation, man, on April 11th, 1973, DJ Kool Herc put some speakers together

and created hip-hop. He was chika chika and all of that. So I'm sure on April 11th, it's going to be the 50th birthday and it's going to be crazy

but all around the city, people have been celebrating it all year. And this is KRS-One's answer to celebrating it as well, right

So it's going to be fire. He's going to be the one teaching all the classes at 1520 Sedgwick during this time

And like I said, we'll be able to stream it online as well, right? I mean, there's competitions for the kids and all kinds of cool, dope things

And what he basically wants to do is just try to bridge the gap between the old school

and the new school. He does want to talk about the history of hip-hop, but he also says he wants to talk

about hip-hop, how it is now, how it changed, and how young kids today still use an old

tradition to tell their story, right? So I think that's pretty fire, man

And of course, KRS-One would be the one to do this, right? Let me know what y'all think about this in the comments
