Why August 11 is Hiphop’s Birthday 

Today, August 11, internet users got a special treat as Google.com had a Doodle which was a homage to one of the greatest genres of music on earth, hip-hop.

With the legendary Fab 5 Freddy hosting, users were not only treated to a fun history lesson on the beginnings of hip-hop, but there’s an interactive DJ setup featuring two turntables, a crate of records, and a number of blends to crossfade in and out of. You can even get your scratch on.
