Rock Hall to celebrate hip-hop exhibit's opening with star-studded party Thursday
While it might not be clear exactly when rock 'n' roll was born, that’s not the case with hip-hop. As John Goehrke, the Rock Hall’s Director of Fan Engagement & Onstage Experience, explains in a phone interview, hip-hop historians can point to one specific event that launched the musical genre.
A number of events will take place during the day and into the evening on Thursday to mark the new exhibit's opening.Inductees Chuck D and Darryl McDaniels will be on hand to speak about the PBS documentary seriesand the Rock Hall’s exhibit. Jason Hanley, the Rock Hall's Vice President of Education & Visitor Engagement, will host the conversation with the two luminaries. The interview takes place at 3 p.m.
“These are legends of the hip-hop story, and they will all be here to celebrate with us and to unveil the exhibit to the public,” says Goehrke when asked about the special guests. “The exhibit will be open for the unforeseeable future, so fans from all around the world can enjoy it.” Broken up into five different sections, the exhibit will center on hip-hop’s foundations and its rise in the ’80s. Artifacts from Bone Thugs N Harmony and Machine Gun Kelly will represent the Cleveland connection.
“The artifact list is incredible and tells so many of the stories,” says Goehrke. “There are artifacts from Public Enemy and NWA and some of the records that Grandmaster Flash would use when he was developing his quick mix theory. The exhibit includes the bass guitar used on the Sugar Hill Gang’s ‘Rapper’s Delight,’ the song that essentially introduced hip-hop to a wider audience. It was the first track to chart in the Top 40 back in 1979.
