KuBroadway, amanyathelo ambalwa emazantsi eHouston, singena kwiBMW entsha ekhazimlayo, injini yayo kwi-purr. Imoto ibinuka into entsha kraca, izihlalo zesikhumba, inkqubo yesandi, kunye nedashboard ibijongeka ngathi inzima njenge-Scottie's in Inkwenkwezi yetrek . Kwisihlalo sabakhweli sasihleli ngaphandle kukaLyor Cohen, iqabane leshishini lexesha elide likaRussel Simmons kwiDefJam Records, ileyibhile yokurekhoda enamandla kakhulu yehip-hop kwimbali (kwaye ngelo xesha). Ujikile wajonga ngamehlo, wathi wassup, emva koko wabuyela kwindawo yokuhlambela ingqalelo kumqhubi wethu, uQ-Tip. Ingcebiso yayingumphathi we-A Tribe Called Quest, i-quartet evela eQueens edibanisa iisampulu ze-jazz zakudala, izikhombisi zemidlalo zaseNew York, kunye nokuzonwabisa kwezithandani kuya kubenza babe lelinye lawona maqela athandwayo nanempembelelo ngalo lonke ixesha, ilitye elibalulekileyo lokulawula iinkwenkwezi yanamhlanje njengoPharrell.
Kwakusiwa '93. Uhlanga lwaluphezulu kwihlabathi le-hip-hop, likhuphe ii-albhamu ezimnandi, Ukuhamba kwabantu ngeNdalo kunye neNdlela yeRhythm kwaye Ithiyori yesiphelo esisezantsi , kunye nealbham yabo yesithathu ekulindelwe kakhulu, Ezinzulwini zobusuku , yaba ngundaba-mlonyeni. Ezinzulwini zobusuku yayiza kuba licwecwe apho batshata ngempumelelo ubuchule babo obungenampazamo kunye nobugcisa obunomphefumlo obunempumelelo enkulu kwezorhwebo.

Okwangoku, akukho namnye owaziyo igama lam, kwaye kubonakala ngathi akakhathali. Sasizama ukujikeleza i-Broadway igcwele ubumnandi bokumamela iinyanga zomculo ngaphambi koluntu, isenza ukuba sinqwenele inkcubeko ye-pop, amalungu eklabhu epholileyo kwihlabathi. Ekufikeni kwethu, ipati yokukhupha icwecwe kwindawo yokutyela engasasebenziyo yaseMexico kumda ophakathi kweSoho neTribeca, iiMays zindinike eyakhe 'ungenzi okanye uthethe nantoni na ehlazayo okanye enye'. Sahlukana ngeendlela. Mays, Tip, and Cohen went to a secret party in the insider-only party, ndaye ndahamba neqela endandifunda nabo, abafundi abasafundayo, abancedisi, kunye nabadlali belebheli abasencinci ababenombulelo kwaye bothuswa kukuba ngokwenene sasikwisisu sentengiso kunye nesengqondo ihip-hop. Nokuba ngowuphi umbuzo ebendinawo kumshicileli ulibalekile, impendulo yakhe ayinamsebenzi kwinto entle ngoku. Umvukeli uDiaz, omnye wabadlali kwi-BAM yoBusuku beHlabathi yeHip-Hop.
Kule mpelaveki, ngo-Septemba 19 no-20, Umthombo iphephancwadi, elona phephancwadi likhulu kakhulu le-hip-hop, liya kuthi bhiyozela iminyaka engama-25 ngothotho lweengxoxo, ukusebenza, kunye neefilimu kwi-BAM. Kudala zahamba iintsuku xa uP. Diddy noJay-Z bejikeleza iiholo zabo ukuba bangcungcuthekise abahleli ngokubanika ikhava ye-opus yabo yamva nje. Abadala basezintsuku apho uphononongo lwealbham yeli phephancwadi lubaluleke kakhulu kangangokuba i-rap engathandekiyo
inkwenkwezi yayiza kuthukuthela ngomsindo kwaye yatshise ikopi yemagazini eqongeni.
Ngoku iphantsi kweqela labatyali mali kwaye iphuma kuphela kabini ngenyanga. Isasebenza esixekweni (kude kube kutshanje, kwisakhiwo esinye ne-Braganca), kodwa ukulinganiswa kwe-albhamu yayo-imakrofoni eyi-1 yenkunkuma; Imizobo emi-5 yezinto zakudala, ezikwiziqithi zasentlango-azisakhanuki ngakumbi ngabarepha kuneemoto ezintsha. Inyaniso yokuba imagazini ikhona ekuprintweni konke konke ngummangaliso omncinci, kuba uninzi lweemagazini zomculo, nditsho neemagazini zomculo wehip-hop ngexesha apho uninzi lomculo wepop ngumculo wehip-hop, awukho kwaphela, kwaye ukuba ayenjalo, kunjalo kwi-ether, indawo apho iimvumi kunye neentatheli zingaze zabelane ngokukhwela imoto okanye ngokudibeneyo.
Nditsho ngelixesha ndifike ngalo Umthombo , eyona mihla yakhe yokuhlela ibisemva kwayo, kuba ezona ntsuku zobukrelekrele zomculo we-hip-hop zaziphela ngokukhawuleza njengoko i-rap yavelisa itshathi-yokuqala yokuqala kunye nee-albhamu ezithengisa izigidi. Njengazo zonke iingoma zeenkwenkwezi eziphikisana nokuzibhubhisa kwindawo emnyama, amabali afanelekileyo afihlakeleyo ahlola ukungaziphathi kakuhle kunye nobundlobongela obungaqhelekanga obubhekisele kwabasetyhini-umfanekiso-kaGoogle uGqr. Dre ngompu entloko, Imagazini enguMthombo-indima yoxinzelelo olutsha AmaSilamsi kumculo we-rap, kunye noqhanqalazo ngokuchasene nenkohlakalo yamapolisa nxamnye namadoda amnyama ayenziwe kwaye zange abuye (nangona iingxaki zicacile). Ibhayibhile yehip hop, ngoNovemba 1992.
Kungekudala, ukusekwa kwe-Ivy League- kunye nabahleli ababhali abaqeqeshiweyo beekholeji kunye nababhali abaziwa njenge-Mind Squad bayakushiya eli phephancwadi xa bexabana nomshicileli.

Isizukulwana esasibalandela sasiza kwenza konke okusemandleni ukulandela isiko labo, kodwa sasihlala siphela sixabana omnye nomnye kwiimagazini ezithandanayo, ezothusayo endaweni yokucela umngeni kubaxhasi be-rappers ukuba babe zezona nguqulelo zibalaseleyo zabo, uluntu lwabo kunye nathi. Abavuseleli bayekile ukusimamela nathi, kuba bekukho abantwana abatsha abathandayo kwiklabhu.

Kunyaka kamva, ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi, i-Intanethi yatshabalalisa imboni yomculo kwaye, kungekudala, ishishini lamaphephancwadi. Uninzi lwabantwana abapholileyo kunanini na ngaphambili beluphulaphule ihip-hop, kodwa bambalwa abafuna ukuhlawula umculo kwakhona. Kwaye ukufunda i-racy prose malunga nemimandla emininzi yenkcubeko engabonakaliyo apho i-hip-hop entsha yavela ilahlekile. Ukuhleba kwangqina ngokwaneleyo.
