According to Afrika Bambaata, hip-hop began on November 12, 1974. While this claim is disputable, Bam has taken it upon himself to name this upcoming November as hip-hop history month in hounour of the founding date.
He made the announcement through the legendary Zulu Nation organization, which he founded. Check www.zulunation.com for details.
Bam hopes that the month will teach the younger generation about hip-hop’s principles of peace, love, unity and having fun.
