🎉💖🎙#HipHopIs44 #ArtIsAWeapon [🎨 by @beddoart - "The Golden Age (part 2)"] The naysayers dismissed it as a passing fad. The musicians said it wasn't "real" music. It's been co-opted, compromised and corrupted and yet Hip Hop is STILL HERE, 44 years later, impacting music, art, fashion, commerce and culture around the globe. ✊🏾👏🏽 SHOUT OUT to Hip Hop's innovators, inventors, contributors, keepers and creators of this revolutionary, affirming musical genre & culture. In the words of the Notorious B.I.G. "Never thought that Hip Hop would take it this far." #LongLiveHipHop - you changed my life! . .
