I'm 50, grew up on rock and roll. I've always liked hip hop, but don't really know my way around it. How to fill this gap?
I listened to the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run DMC, N.W.A., etc., when they were coming out* but I haven't heard much afterwards, which I take is like all you knew about rock was Chuck Berry and Dick Dale.
Whenever I hear a track I like, I feel the frustration of not being able to contextualize what I'm hearing. Don't know the sub-genres, the groundbreakers, the current expansions.
How to acquire a conceptual and historic framework? A good book on the subject? A short video or series of videos (let's say under 240 minutes total)?
* I also I lived in the Bronx 1973-75 so I was physically close to the birth of the genre |
