]]> Queen Latifah said it best at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards, “Hip Hop is World Culture.” In 50 years, Hip Hop hasn’t stopped. Despite decades of criticism, condemnation, and censure, Hip Hop has influenced and continues to influence culture. Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation, written by Jeff Chang, with a forward by D.J. Kool Herc, is part of the story that NYPL is telling in their 50-Year Celebration of Hip Hop Event, ongoing through August.  

The event site states, “hip-hop’s impact and influence have reached beyond music throughout culture, from fashion to film to literature and more. Join us this spring and summer as the library celebrates the legacy of hip-hop with programs, reading recommendations, and more, culminating in a celebration in August.
