Summary:

"How did a bunch of young people from the inner city create a genre of music that became a global phenomenon? From its humble origins at house parties in the Bronx, where DJs mixed old records to create new sounds, charismatic MCs let their clever lyrics flow, and B-boys and B-girls pioneered inventive dance moves, hip-hop quickly became a musical and cultural revolution. Meet Aaliyah, a hip-hop superfan who is about to get a lesson in all things "old school" courtesy of her dad, who grew up in the 1970s when rap music first hit the scene. The pair take a day trip to the Bronx, where Aaliyah discovers the many unsung heroes who helped create the foundations of hip-hop. So get ready to drop the beat, bust a move, and get down with some fresh rap knowledge!"-- Back cover.
