Do You Know The Story Behind Hip-Hop?

This post is inspired and brought to you by my amazing and bright little sister! She came home one day and was like, "Can you read this? Read this! Read this! Reeeeeeeeeeead this please! As soon as she showed it to me, her little booklet, I was immediately amazed! Right then and there I knew that I had to share it with the world! Especially, because it is Black History Month! It is truly an honor to have a ten year olds hard work, my sister's hard work, on my blog :) 

"Hip-hop is a popular genre of music. But, have you ever wondered were hip-hop started? Have you ever wondered who created hip-hop? Have you ever wondered how hip-hop effects today? Well it's your lucky day because this book has the answers to your questions."

"Hip-hop started in the mean streets of New York. DJ KOOL HERC would bring his boom box full of music outise, woth the music overly blasted so everyone in the neighborhood could hear the music. Minutes later there would be groups of people surrounding him, rapping and dancing. But, if you want to learn more about DJ KOOL HERC, keep scrolling!"

"DJ KOOL HERC is most known for being the creator of hip-hop. DJ KOOL HERC never charged anyone to go to his concerts because he wanted people to enjoy music without having to pay. And it is a really smart idea. DJ KOOL HERC was born on APRIL 16th 1955. DJ KOOL HERC was the first person ever to throw a HIP-HOP party for his sister, but he still charged a fee."

"For boys to come to the HIP-HOP party they had to pay 50 cents."

"For girls to come to the HIP-HOP party they had to pay 25 cents."

"So in my opinion I think that DJ KOOL HERC is a.......... LEGEND."

"HIP-HOP effects today because HIP-HOP is a form of art and HIP-HOP has inspired so many people to rap, sing or dance to HIP-HOP. There are so many different artist that that have turned people into legends that are awesome at what they do. And they just let the spotlight shine on them and embrace themselves.
