Hip-hop's birthday is celebrated on August 11th, commemorating the day in 1973 when DJ Kool Herc hosted a back-to-school party in the Bronx where he first used two turntables to create breakbeats. This event is widely considered the birth of hip-hop culture. The celebration has evolved to include recognition of all four elements of hip-hop: DJing, MCing, breakdancing, and graffiti art.
