“The 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop is a global movement that speaks to the grit, voice, and power of how it came to be in the first place: We used our voices when they tried to silence us. We used our creativity when they tried to stifle us.” HipHop50
: We used our voices when they tried to silence us. We used our creativity when they tried to stifle us,” said Hip-Hop icon and legend KRS-One. “We created the culture because we wanted to stand out and stand up for our artistry. Hip-Hop is the people’s movement. I am excited to showcase this to the world in the space where it all began—at 1520 Sedgwick in the Community Center. It feels right to be here, where it all began.
Hip-Hop has always been about community and KRS-One and Birthplaceofhiphop.nyc are now calling on the worldwide Hip-Hop community to participate in a logo competition to celebrate Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary. The winning design will recognize the elements of Hip-Hop necessary to both celebrate the 50th anniversary and inspire future generations to continue to grow and expand Hip-Hop’s message. The contest is open from 12:01 a.m. April 28, 2023 until May 31, 2023, at 11:59 p.m.
