Hip-hop was born in the Bronx amid poverty, despair. 50 years later, there’s pride, still hard times

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:26:58 GMT

BRONX, NEW YORK (AP) — Before it was a global movement, it was simply an expression of life and struggle: a culture that was synonymous with hardship and suffering, but also grit, resilience and creativity. Hip-hop rose from the ashes of a borough ablaze with poverty, urban decay and gang violence. It was music that “had the sound of a city in collapse, but also had an air of defiance,” said Mark Naison, history professor at Fordham University in the Bronx. Block parties and the various elements of hip-hop served as an outlet for creativity and an escape from the hardships of daily life.The four foundational elements of hip-hop — DJing or turntablism, MCing or rapping, B-boying or break dancing and graffiti “writing” — emerged from the Bronx as a “cultural response to a community that was institutionally abandoned,” said Rodrigo Venegas, also known as “Rodstarz” of the hip-hop duo Rebel Diaz, made up of two Chilean brothers in the Bronx. “You want to cut our art programs? We’r...

Hip-hop turns 50, reinventing itself and swaths of the world along the way

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:26:58 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — It was born in the break, all those decades ago — that moment when a song’s vocals dropped, instruments quieted down and the beat took the stage. It was then that hip-hop came into the world, taking the moment and reinventing it. Something new, coming out of something familiar.At the hands of the DJs playing the albums, that break moment became something more: a composition in itself, repeated in an endless loop, back and forth between the turntables. The MCs got in on it, speaking their own clever rhymes and wordplay over it. So did the dancers, the b-boys and b-girls who hit the floor to break-dance. It took on its own visual style, with graffiti artists bringing it to the streets and subways of New York City.It didn’t stay there, of course. A musical form, a culture, with reinvention as its very DNA would never, could never. Hip-hop spread, from the parties to the parks, through New York City’s boroughs and then the region, around the country and the world.A...

DENVER (KDVR) -- While you might know the general idea of what trespassing is, you may not know the specifics and what might happen if you do it.Colorado's laws against trespassing are fairly broad, but essentially, trespassing is unlawfully and knowingly entering or remaining on someone's property without their consent.What is considered trespassing in Colorado?What is considered trespassing can range from staying in a hotel lobby after being told to leave to ignoring a fence on someone's property and entering anyway.There are three different levels of severity of criminal trespass in the state. First-degree criminal trespassing is the most severe and third-degree criminal trespassing is the least.When it comes to property, third- and second-degree criminal trespass are both considered petty offenses, so the maximum sentence you can face if convicted is six months in state prison and/or a $500 fine. ‘The brr is back’: Farmers’ Almanac releases winter forecast for Colorado The law...
