The Birth of Hip-Hop | Generation X

my name’s DJ cool her the music spun by
Herc is different from the stuff most
DJ’s are playing he would take two
records and spinning back and forth from
the same spot so just prolong the break
beat Herc style catches on and not just
with b-boys but with emcees who use the
break to pick up the mic he talks now
with the rhythm he rhymes a little bit
here and there you see the development
start now kind of wants you to give me a
story and the next thing you know all of
these people are actually rapping people
went there to dance and then it became
something where people had to listen
they were partying their pain away they
were speaking their pain away they were
using music to be an escape from the
oppression that they were undergoing and
that’s what hip-hop was born out of hip
hop the phoenix rising out of the city’s
ashes you would go into some very rough
neighborhoods but the energy was amazing
you felt something that you couldn’t
feel anywhere else so this began to
replicate itself and got bigger and
bigger a musical revolution is brewing
in these Bronx basements and it’s about
to explode
