Hip-hop did not develop in a vacuum. It's roots can be traced back to the earliest Afro- American music, and the white folks who were influenced by these sounds. This CD compiles 26 tracks of some of the great hip-hop from the 1920s through the 1960s. The themes will be familiar-religion, politics, black experience, gangsta rap, speed, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Listen to the lessons that the hipsters of the past taught the rappers of today.
