Hip-hop was born in the break — that moment when a song’s vocals dropped, instruments quieted down and the beat took the stage. At the hands of the DJs, that break moment became more: a composition in itself. The MCs got in on it, speaking their own clever rhymes. So did the dancers, b-boys and b-girls. Hip-hop spread around the country and the world. At each step: change, adaptation.
