Hip-Hop History
On August 11, 1973, in the rec room of an apartment building in the Bronx, a new musical form entered the world. The night in question was a back-to-school party, featuring a soundtrack of popular artists like James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and The Meters. The host of the bash, 18-year-old Clive Campbell, took to the DJ booth and queued up heavily percussive, dance-friendly portions of songs, known as breaks, on two turntables. With a copy of the same record on each turntable, Campbell — better known as DJ Kool Herc — was able to loop these high-energy breaks, through a technique called the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round was the basis for the genre we now know as hip-hop.
Taking hold at block parties and among Black, Latino, and Caribbean American communities, hip-hop spread from the underground to the mainstream, thanks to one of the first hip-hop records, Sugarhill Gang’s Rapper’s Delight, released in 1979.
