Hip hop is an immersive, thriving cultural force and the most influential musical development of the last 50 years. Hip Hop at 50: Holla If Ya Hear Me sponsored by Technics and Celsius - open now - takes a journey through the essential breakthrough events and historical moments; through the music’s sound, words, and powerful messages; and illustrates music’s ability to connect us in times of strife and celebration.

This exhibit celebrates the life, music, and cultural impact of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s hip hop Inductees and expands beyond their influence to look at the key artists, styles, and moments from hip hop history.
