Fifty years ago, the beat was born, A genre that's grown, an icon adorned. August 11th marked the start of a tale, Hip-hop's legacy, like a ship setting sail.


In the heart of the Bronx, Kool Herc ignited, A DJ so bold, a movement incited. His innovation sparked a cultural fire, A rhythm and rhyme that would never tire.


MCs and DJs, a dance intertwined, Crafting tales with beats, risks defined. Grandmaster Flash, with lyrical grace, A fusion of magic, creativity's embrace.


Record labels emerged, hip-hop took flight, A symphony of voices, day and night. From Def Jam to Motown, they paved the way, Shaping the genre's path, come what may.


Entrepreneurial spirits, bold and true, Hip-hop's pioneers, a diverse crew. From Jay-Z's empire to N.W.A's might, They shattered the limits, reaching new height.


Women in hip-hop, a force to be reckoned, Lauryn Hill's elegance, Missy's vibe infectious. From Queen Latifah's reign to Cardi B's might, Breaking down barriers, claiming the spotlight.


Men with a vision, like Biggie and Dre, Their artistry carved a unique way. A tapestry woven, talent and flair, Unrivaled essence, beyond compare.


Breakdancing and graffiti, the streets come alive, A cultural revolution, no soul could deny. Block parties booming, a communal spree, A celebration of unity, wild and free.


Five decades of history, still standing tall, Hip-hop's legacy, a worldwide call. From the past to today, its impact unwinds, A genre that forever echoes, in hearts and minds.


So, here's to the pioneers, the legends of old, And the future they paved, in stories untold. In beats and rhymes, hip-hop thrives on, Creativity's power, fifty years strong.’
