*long story short: budding BDP got insulted by the more established Juice Crew, so they stole Marley’s beat tape which they then used for the beats of several tracks on their debut album, beats over which KRS-One relentlessly dissed every one of the Juice Crew’s members. Truly epic beefing. #HipHop #HipHop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop

and while all that happened, KRS-One was there, and so was Marley Marl. https://youtu.be/cmXiKGo3Zy8?si=4yEkJgudYx3yYjyk — referencing a number of famous #HipHop rivalries but only implicitly the infamous Juice Crew (Marley Marl) / BDP (KRS-One) beef*, with which KRS set off his recording career 😂 #HipHop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop

In absolutely perfect news for the #FiftyYearsOfHipHop weekend, Ms5 took out first place in the regional under-8s Hip Hop Dancing competition.
She danced to Missy Elliot's Work It 😵
The other kids were twice her size, she's just a little dot.

For #JukeboxFridayNight we're celebrating #FiftyYearsOfHipHop. I'm more of an old school hip hop fan, so I'm tipping my hat to this oldie but goodie.

https://youtu.be/52AyzlxMyts

now I have a sample stuck in my head of another song that reminisces about the early days of #hiphop, but I can't remember what the track is or who made it, so please add your favourite tracks where rappers talk about #rap history here so that I may find it! #hiphop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop

Loving this and learning lots about the key role women made in #fiftyyearsofhiphop #hiphop #rap

good morning on the first day of the next #FiftyYearsOfHiphop!

continuing this 🧵 of #rap tracks about #HipHop history with the ultimate nostalgic look back at what was once a beautiful relationship.

I went looking for a link to Missy Elliott’s All N My Grill on my subscription streamer. Really digging listening to it again but then an American male rapper starts in English! Big Boi? Where’s MC Solaar en français? Turns out I had a European version of the CD back in the day. 😆 That’s a global music empire tailored to local circumstance. Well played. Here’s the European version.

ok I have to admit I don’t know a dedicated #rap to the history of #breakdancing, the 4th element of #hiphop, but Tupac remembered poppin’ and lockin' to Kurtis Blow and breakdancing to Melle Mel, that counts, doesn’t it? https://youtu.be/t_yc4i8f6xU?si=JmN64f1I_osmvRj6 #HipHop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop

3rd element of hiphop: #DJing. A history: DJ JD-1 feat. O.C. - Turn the Tables https://youtu.be/1GeRle6n5wU?si=Xh1QJ31Aw84fP4go #hiphop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop

while I ponder those, there’s also this #meta question: has KRS-One always been THE historian of #hiphop? BDP - South Bronx https://youtu.be/vsrOy32nJdI?si=jMz5skAgy9sN9S4u #hiphop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop

2nd element of #hiphop: #graffiti, a history:
