NPR/Getty Images In recent years, the NFL has come under scrutiny for discriminatory hiring practices — recently with former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. While 70 percent of the league is comprised of Black and Brown players, only four of the league's 32 head coaches are Black. None of this is new. Back in 2003, thanks — in part — to some public pressure from a high-powered lawyer named Johnnie […]

Sundial is against sitting idle, and calls not just to hear its own voice, but to enter into conversation in the griot tradition of call and response. Emma McIntyre/Getty Ima Hip-hop has been effectively deradicalized by middle age, botched love and commercialism, to the extent that so-called "conscious rap" often sounds like a grift to feed a void in the market — the hungry ghost of authenticity. Plenty of the […]

Illustration by Jackie Lay/NPR When DJ Kool Herc spun records at a small party in the Bronx in August of 1973, no one would have predicted his unique style would give birth to the most influential and dominant music in the world: hip-hop. In this special episode, we're celebrating the 50th anniversary of the genre. NPR Music editors Daoud Tyler-Ameen and Sheldon Pearce are joined by contributor Christina Lee to […]
Islen Milien for NPR The legend goes that on a sweaty August night in 1973, there was a block party in the South Bronx where DJs had to hack a streetlight to power their equipment. Someone picked up a mic and spontaneously started rhyming over the the breakbeat, and that's how hip-hop was born. In the five decades since that eureka — or, rather, that "yoooo" — moment, hip-hop music […]
