Hip-Hop
From the moment Kool Herc mixed those beats and Bronx kids free-styled over their favorite 45s, hip-hop has been about using rhythms and rhymes to make something your own. Now it's VH1's turn, as hip-hop stars past and present remember when the music went prime time. We asked Ludacris, Grandmaster Flash, Everlast, Kurtis Blow, Russell Simmons and others to give us their take on the revolution that changed the sound of mainstream pop.
