DJ Kool Herc, Cindy Campbell threw first party that birthed Hip Hop | 50 Years of Hip Hop

It was 50 years ago in an apartment building in the Bronx that hip hop was born.

That is where Clive Campbell, better known as DJ Kool Herc, mixed two copies of the same album into one seamless breakbeat.

What followed in the next five decades, few would have been able to predict. Hip Hop went from a makeshift musical movement to a cultural phenomenon.

In this Eyewitness News special '50 Years of Hip Hop: The Bronx and Beyond,' we look at how hip hop is woven into every aspect of our lives, from television and fashion to advertising and politics, and how every step of the way, New York has been at the center of it all.
