Happy Birthday Hip Hop, Google that yo!

It's the 44th anniversary today of the alleged start of Hip Hop when Kool Herc first mixed two records at a party at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx.
Google is celebrating with an interactive doodle where you can mix.

Defjam and TM

You see, you try to do those kinds of lists, and and manage to miss off "The Message," which was the first hit track when Hip Hop first got hair on its balls.

Lily Hammer 2:28 Fri Aug 11

Nah. The Message is okay but its a bit of a plod and dreary as all fuck.

"La Di Da Di" is the cream of that era. And is unarguably the greatest "b" side in the whole of human history.

Re: Happy Birthday Hip Hop, Google that yo!

Also "I got a man" by Positive K is the best Hip Hop tune you probably haven't listened to in a while.
