Today Proclaimed Hip Hop’s 37th Birthday, Sedgwick & Cedar Celebrate

    On August 11, 1973, Clive Campbell a/k/a DJ Kool Herc distributed the following flyer around his South Bronx community. The headlining deejay would be joined by Coco, Cindy C, Klark K and Timmy T in a seven-hour jam at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, in the recreation room. The “back to school” jam would change history as we knew it.

    The original flyer has been scanned and posted below:

    With a contemporary clothing brand named after the intersection of Hip Hop’s genesis, artists such as Kool Herc and Grandmaster Caz are speaking about the culture they helped form, while clothes properly portray the history and formation of what’s lasted 37 years and beyond.

    Today, at Sedgwick & Cedar’s website, all products are $19.73 to celebrate Hip Hop’s birthday and pay tribute to its founders.

    1. http://www.zulunation.com/hip_hop_history_2.htmHIP HOP HISTORY MONTH

      The Universal Zulu Nation calls on the World to recognize the whole month of November as HIP HOP HISTORY MONTH!

      The official birthday of the Universal Zulu Nation is November 12, 1973.

      The official birthday of Hip Hop is November 12th, 1974.

      With consideration to the above mentioned dates, nothing makes more sense than to celebrate Hip Hop culture and it’s history during November, which is exactly what the Universal Zulu Nation has been doing for over 27 + years. November is also significant in the fact that it kicks off the “indoor jam season”. The Hip Hop community jams, enjoyed outdoors in the parks, throughout the Summer, had to move indoors for about 7 months to community centers, gymnasiums, schools etc. for the Fall and Winter seasons. The Hip Hop World should recognize this month and pay tribute to those who laid the foundation and paved the way as well as to those who continue to preserve the rich tradition of the culture.
