During his set, instead of playing the songs in full, he played only their instrumental sections, or \u201cbreaks\u201d &#8211; sections where he noticed the crowd went wild. During these \u201cbreaks\u201d his friend <strong>Coke La Rock<\/strong> hyped up the crowd with a microphone. And with that, Hip Hop was born.<\/p>\n<p>Google celebrates the 44th anniversary of that very moment with a very dope Doodle featuring a custom logo graphic by famed graffiti artist <strong>Cey Adams<\/strong>, interactive turntables on which users can mix samples from legendary tracks, and a serving of Hip Hop history &#8211; with an emphasis on its founding pioneers. In addition to the classic records featured in the digital milk-crate, legendary producer and artist, <strong>Prince Paul<\/strong>, has provided three never before heard beats. Those instrumentals are exclusive to the campaign. The whole experience is narrated by Hip Hop icon <strong>Fab 5 Freddy<\/strong>, former host of <em>Yo! MTV Raps<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss the opportunity to test your dj skills with the interactive set up. The Hip Hop Doodle will be active over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"120821\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/google-celebrates-the-44th-anniversary-of-the-birth-of-hip\/captura-de-pantalla-2017-08-12-a-las-14-36-36\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Captura-de-pantalla-2017-08-12-a-las-14.36.36.png?fit=625%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"625,199\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Captura de pantalla 2017-08-12 a las 14.36.36\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Captura-de-pantalla-2017-08-12-a-las-14.36.36.png?fit=625%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Captura-de-pantalla-2017-08-12-a-las-14.36.36.png?fit=640%2C172&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"172\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-120821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Captura-de-pantalla-2017-08-12-a-las-14.36.36.png?resize=540%2C172&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Captura-de-pantalla-2017-08-12-a-las-14.36.36.png?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 11, 1973, DJ Kool Herc threw a back-to-school jam at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-videos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-vqI","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120820\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
