The event now recognized as the birth of hip-hop happened 50 years ago, on August 11, 1973, in the Bronx.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, we are celebrating the love of words at the heart of hip-hop, its impact on language, and the unrivaled expressive power of its artists.
From Monday, August 7 through Friday, August 18, Thesaurus.com's Synonym of the Day will turn into a vocabulary playlist highlighting perfect word choices from hip-hop lyrics, including by artists like Nas, Lauryn Hill, A Tribe Called Quest, Nicki Minaj, and more! Sign up for the Synonym of the Day email now so you don't miss a single track!
