Hip-hop Origins
Hip-hop started on the streets of New York with African American youths in the 1970s. But with its strong beats and raw lyrics, it quickly spread across the country. It became the music of a generation of young Americans.
More Than Music
But hip-hop is more than just music. It''s a lifestyle. It''s also big business. When Interscope Records was formed in 1990, the company''s founders saw an opportunity.
