Hip Hop

New York City was the birthplace of hip hop as early as the 1970s. One of the most influential hip hop artists that brought hip hop to the mainstream during the 1980s was Run DMC from Hollis, Queens. Since hip hop rhythmically brought about social issues for minorities on inner city streets, their clothing also became a reflection of the music which created a social movement still prevalent today.
