This is the 411 on The Bronx and the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop music, which is home and where this genre started way back.
For the 50th anniversary of hip hop's birth, some heavy hitters performed at Yankee Stadium Friday night — in the Bronx, right where this music was born. The all-star lineup included artists like Run-DMC, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Eve, Wiz Khalifa, and Nas in an exuberant celebration called “Hip Hop 50 Live.”
