Event Details

Throughout the past few decades, hip-hop has been a growing and dominating genre in main-stream music. In this four week class, students will learn how hip-hop started out in the early 70s, how it grew in the main stream into the 80s, up until the twenty-first century. Students will learn the  different artists of each decade, and how each of these artists contributed to the hip-hop genre. Such artists will include DJ Kool Herc, Grand Master Flash, Run-DMC, Queen Latifah, The Notorious B.I.G, and others. Students will also understand the different characteristics of hip-hop such as the rhythms, technologies used in creating hip-hop music, type of fashion and more. Tactile accessible images will be used to convey the art and style of the images of the times.

This 4-session event will take place in person at the Andrew Heiskell Library June 10, 17, 24, and July 1.

 

Throughout 2023, NYC’s public libraries will be celebrating 50 years since the creation of hip-hop with a robust slate of programs throughout the spring and summer. Working together with Queens Public Library and the Brooklyn Public Library, NYPL is focusing on hip hop’s origins within New York City and its rich legacy of art, culture, and music that spreads across the nation and around the world.
