The start of hip-hop dates to Aug. 11, 1973, when DJ Kool Herc created continuous break-beats by working two turntables during a party in a rec room at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx. On Friday night, exactly 50 years later, a concert was held at Yankee Stadium — roughly a mile and a half from hip-hop’s birthplace — to honor the occasion, featuring Run-DMC, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Lil’ Kim and Nas. DJ Kool Herc, 68, also appeared onstage to accept an award. “I prefer old-school hip-hop,” Hetep said. He rapped about positivity, and that’s also what my music is about.”In the edited interviews below, attendees reflected on hip-hop’s 50th.

That same year, the Recording Academy finally included a rap category in the Grammy Awards, and Will Smith, a.k.a. And then, in September 1996, Tupac Shakur died at 25 in Las Vegas, having been shot four times. Hill’s was the first hip-hop album to win album of the year (along with four other Grammys). In 1999, Big L of Harlem (Lamont Coleman) was shot nine times in the face and chest on West 139th Street near his Harlem home. On Oct. 30, 2002, Run-DMC’s D.J., Jason Mizell, known as Jam Master Jay, was killed in his Queens recording studio at age 37.

☆ ‘Back to the Future’ Review: The DeLorean Crash Lands on Broadway

The brand-extension musical is a tough genre to game, demanding something new for newcomers yet fidelity for fans. “Back to the Future: The Musical,” based on the first of the time-travel films in the billion-dollar franchise, faces an additional hurdle: It hinges on a star performance that would seem to be irreproducible onstage. And by star, I of course mean the car. Alas, that also describes the rest of the show, directed by John Rando with Doc-like frenzy: mechanical, busy, distracting, foggy. Though large, it’s less a full-scale new work than a semi-operable souvenir.

There’s an infamous tweet that goes like this: “Each day on Twitter there is one main character. She was among a handful of creators from the United States who accepted a free trip to China from the fast-fashion behemoth Shein. The company was founded in China over a decade ago, and though it still produces items there, Shein is now based in Singapore. The company has been accused of sourcing cotton from China’s Xinjiang region, where forced labor and human rights abuses are widespread. The name is pronounced, “she in.” As in, “she in some very cheap clothing.” As in “she in trouble for those TikTok videos.”

New York‘And I walk down the street and bop to the beat / With Lee on my leg and Adidas on my feet.” In 1986, Run-DMC released “My Adidas,” a love song to those sneakers. Not only was it a big hit but it won the rap group a million-dollar endorsement deal, a first in the world of hip-hop. Walk into any high-end shoe salon and half the real estate in the room belongs to designer sneakers: high-tops and low-tops, platformed, blingy and logoed. The subculture of hip-hop—which takes in MCs, DJs, VJs, break dancers, rappers and “aerosol” artists—is now thoroughly mainstream. “Fresh, Fly and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style” at the Museum at FIT shows how.

Inundaţiile şi alunecările de teren din Sri Lanka, provocate de ploile musonice, au lăsat în urmă cel puţin 17 morţi şi aproximativ 270 000 de persoane fără case. Multe dintre victime au fost îngropate de vii în noroi după ce locuințele lor au fost scufundate de ape, a anunţat Centrul pentru gestionarea dezastrelor (DMC). Forţe de securitate au fost desfăşurate în mai multe districte pentru a ajuta la evacuarea sătenilor sinistraţi. „Nivelurile apei scad, însă atenţionările de alunecări de teren sunt încă în vigoare în 10 districte”, a declarat Pradeep Kodippili, director adjunct în cadrul DMC. Directorul general al departamentului de meteorologie, Athula Karunanayake, a precizat luni că prognozele indică o reducere a cantităţii de precipitaţii.

Sri Lanka este afectată de două ori pe an de muson, acest fenomen meteorologic aducând precipitaţii vitale pentru irigarea terenurilor agricole şi pentru producţia de energie hidroelectrică, dar şi pagube materiale şi decese.
