Hip Hop Speaks to Children by Nikki Giovanni

We learn from Nikki that … bands like the Sugarhill Gang drew their inspiration from beats developed when slaves had to creatively overcome the rules imposed on them by their owners. My favorite pieces include: Funky Snowman by Calef Brown, and From Rappers Delight by The Sugarhill Gang (which will have you and your kids grooving, I know I was).
