In a recent seven day period, Saul Williams has explained how Guns and Roses and Radiohead are hiphop, acclaimed indie-rock label, Twisted Nerve, have described themselves in a national broadsheet paper as "a hiphop record label", two kids from Brownsville, Brooklyn, have secured a top ten pop hit with a boisterous song about robbing people, a bleached-blond white-trash kid made famous is to headline a traditionally rock festival, and a million and one compilations of old sampled records have been released. All this, plus the situation where more than half of today's chart or pop music owes a direct debt to hiphop. </div> <div> Not bad for what is, and always will be, essentially young kids talking over repeated snippets of someone else's music. Makes you proud to be a part of it. </div> <div> With that in mind, now's as good a time as any, over twenty recorded years down the line, to start to chronicle this movement. Like most sub-cultures, this one's music lead, so we've decided to present to you the history of the artform through the chronological development of the music. Not to demean the other established elements, but it's the music that acts as most people's entry point to hiphop. </div> <div> We haven't selected what are necessarily the biggest selling records of the year, nor those obscure gems we all hold personal penchants for. No, these are the releases which will give you a snapshot of what was going on at the time, from the party days of Sugarhill to the fertile late eighties golden years, through gangsta-isms, playa-isms and sheer thuggery to phenomenal independent and pop success. In short, these are the records that have determined where you are today. </div> <div> So without further ado, cultural analysis or shameless bragging and boasting, we present to you hiphop.com's hiphop history.
