Hip-hop at 50: Back to the Bronx, where it all began (part 1)

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

This week we're celebrating 50 years since the birth of hip-hop. More than a musical genre, it’s a global phenomenon. Business, sport, fashion, politics – hip-hop influences it all. Our culture team has recorded a four-part series in New York and Paris to trace its journey from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s to becoming the most popular and lucrative music genre in the world. In part one, our Culture Editor Eve Jackson meets the godfather of hip-hop, Grandmaster Flash, in his Bronx studio and we visit the world's first hip-hop museum that's set to open next year.
