| About Us |
In the early 1970’s a new musical genre was born in the crime-ridden
neighborhoods of the South Bronx. Gifted teenagers with plenty of
imagination but little cash began to build a new musical style from spare
parts. Hip-Hop, as it was then known, was a product of pure street-wise
ingenuity by extracting rhythms and melodies from existing records and
mixing with searing poetry. This combination chronicled life in the hood
and spilled out of the ghetto. From housing projects, it exploded onto
the streets and subways, taking root in Bronx clubs. From there it
spread to Los Angeles, where a whole West Coast Hip-Hop scene
developed, sporting its own musical idiosyncrasies and its own wild
style. Through television shows like BET’s RAP CITY and YO! MTV RAPS
and a succession of Hollywood movies, Hip-Hop gained millions of new
fans across America, in places far removed from the genre’s Bronx
roots. It spread to Europe, Asia, Africa and every continent of Earth,
gaining more cultural significance as the years rolled by. Today, it is one
of the most potent and successful musical categories of the 20th
Century. This 30th Anniversary tour showcases those legendary artists
and enormous talents that created the genre known as rap. Our intent is
to capitalize on the current wave of popularity of the Hip Hop Legends
personalities and their indelible musical performances that have now
become the contemporary equivalent to the international mega-billion
dollar musical nostalgia commodity known as “Classics.” After more than
30 years it is safe to say that this cultural phenomenon has truly come of
age and is truly alive and thriving as America’s latest offering of pop
culture to the world at large.
It is evident millions of the youth who identify with Hip-Hop culture are
now beginning to acknowledge the gifts of the originators and hold the
highest appreciation of the funk and fun that gave life to the world of
rap. The youth of today undoubtedly continue to support and pay
homage by turning out in record numbers to experience the live
performances of the “The Hip Hop Anniversary Tour” We propose that
this initial tour package designed by The Alliance of Legends will be the
first edition in a series of like packages that will present worldwide. We
also feel corporate sponsorship will continue to support the mission to
keep Classic Music alive within the boundaries of the universal
acceptance.
