Hip Hop Raised Me.®

, DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip-hop in society today,

and reflects on the huge influence it has had on his own life, and the lives of many others,

filling in the gaps of education that school left behind, providing inspiration and purpose

to generation after generation of disaffected youths. Taking a thematic approach and

featuring seminal interviews he has conducted with key hip-hop artists, Semtex traces

the characteristics and influence of hip-hop from its origins in the early 1970s with DJ

Kool Herc's Block parties in the South Bronx, through its breakthrough to the mainstream

and advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s, with artists such as Run DMC, Public

Enemy and Ice T, to the impact of contemporary artists and the global industry that is

hip-hop today. Hip-hop artists have gone from hustlers to successful entrepreneurs and

businessmen. Hip-hop has come of age.
