The Boogie Down Bronx was graced with some of the greatest Hip Hop Legends to ever perform on stage or anywhere else.

Wrap your head around the following. Rap is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backing beat or musical accompaniment

Rapping also rhyming, spitting, emceeing, or MCing is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backing beat or musical accompaniment. The components of rap include "content" what is being said, "flow" rhythm, rhyme, and "delivery" cadence, tone.

Rap royalty gathered in The Bronx for a groundbreaking ceremony of the Universal Hip Hop Museum in the genre’s birthplace and home borough of rap icons like Grandmaster Flash, Slick Rick, and Fat Joe among others.

However, Hip-Hop is the bomb. It “came out of the Bronx like Vietnam,” recounted Fat Joe, who grew up in NYCHA’s Forest Houses in Morrisania. “I’m just a kid, I’m talking 8 years old, and I would be listening to hip hop. And I knew this what I wanted to do. It was born from nothing, and it has fed millions and millions.”

The musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backing beat or musical accompaniment will live on in The Boogie Down Bronx.
