| Twenty-five years after 1979’s “Rapper’s Delight” broke open the floodgates, hip hop’s influence is everywhere--from music to movies, fashion to vocabulary. Now, honoring the past, celebrating the present and anticipating the future, the four-CD The Hip Hop Box (Hip-O Records/UMe), released April 20, 2004, brings together 51 of the genre’s greatest turning points, highlights, landmarks and breakthroughs, each digitally remastered. Starring most of hip hop’s greatest artists, from the Sugarhill Gang of 1979 to the 50 Cent of 2003, the tracks were culled from dozens of record labels.
For the first time, as journalist Tom Terrell writes in the liner notes, The Hip Hop Box allows fans to “follow the drumbeat from Genesis to Revelation, innocence to hedonism, playfulness to violence, happiness to bitterness, self-hate to self-love.” Along with Terrell’s historical essay, the box set features notes by Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Michael A. Gonzales (co-author of the classic text on rap Bring The Noise), plus an essay by one of the set’s compilers, paying tribute to hip hop’s reggae heritage. The Hip Hop Box continues the Hip-O Records tradition of genre box sets, including The Funk Box (2000) and The Reggae Box (2001).
