Museum exhibit showcases rise of hip-hop music
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They seem unlikely items for a museum exhibit — sneakers, handbills, a microphone.
But viewed along with clothing, lyric sheets and album posters, they document the rise of one of the biggest cultural phenomena of the last 25 years: hip-hop.
"Hip-Hop Nation: Roots, Rhymes and Rage" opened Friday at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the first stop in a national tour.
"The world is embracing a new attitude, and that attitude is influenced by hip-hop," said museum director Arnold Lehman.
The exhibit originated at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and was expanded for its New York debut.
"Hip-hop has empowered so many of us, it's unbelievable," said guest curator Kevin Powell.
There are hundreds of pieces to look at, from graffiti art to Public Enemy's set list.
Fashion looms large, with clothing donated by names from every era of hip hop. There's a hat from Kool DJ Herc, tennis shoes from Run D.M.C., a suit worn by the Notorious B.I.G. and a jersey worn by DMX.
"We wanted this to be very visual," Powell said.
We wanted this to be a visual. Power And The first section, "The Block Party," introduces viewers to DJing, MCing, dance and graffiti art with demonstrations and interactive terminals.
"The Roots" looks at hip-hop's origins, and showcases audio equipment from the 1970s and early 1980s.
Section three deals with the mid-1980s to 1990, considered hip-hop's creative "Golden Era." It introduces acts like the political Public Enemy, the feminist Queen Latifah and the gangsta N.W.A.
"Controversy: Outrage and the Rise of Gangsta Rap" focuses on the 1990s, which were marked by events like the deaths of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
The last section, "Pop Goes the Culture," examines how hip-hop has come to dominate American youth culture.
The exhibit will be at the museum through the end of the year, accompanied by workshops. films and performances.
