"Reflecting on 50 Years of Hip-Hop: Past, Present, and Future"

New York celebrated 50 years of hip-hop with a star-studded concert at Yankee Stadium, featuring performances by Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill, Run D.M.C., Nas, Wu Tang Clan, and Lil Wayne. DJ Kool Herc, one of the founders of hip-hop, received a Cultural Impact award at the event. Hip-hop, which started as a niche movement in the Bronx in the 1970s, has now become the world's biggest genre of music and has a global following.
