5. Brand Story & Significance of S&C
At the tail end of summer, on August 11, 1973, neighborhood kids crowded into a small
rec room at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx, NY to hear DJ Kool Herc spin for his sister
Cindy’s back to school party. DJ Kool Herc is the recognized Father of Hip Hop culture.
Taking two copies of the same record, he isolated the funkiest percussion section of the
song, which he called “the breaks” and extended those breaks by looping them over
and over. He took 5 second breaks and turned them into 5 minutes of dance fury! Herc
termed this revolutionary art form “The Merry Go Round” later termed as “Break Beat”
DJ’ing, which is the foundation of Hip Hop music. He tapped his Jamaican roots, where
Island DJs at yard parties would toast individuals over instrumental side “Dub” records.
However, Herc used the mic to drop clever “rhymes” over the records which began the
element of emceeing. He then began to organize the best dancers, which he called
“b-boys”, or “break boys” to up-rock or hit the ground to go off. This was the foundation
of break dancing. On that epic night Hip Hop culture was born. Subsequent events
at 1520 Sedgwick became too crowded, so Herc took the party outside and down the
street to Cedar Park. He overcame the lack of electricity in the park by plugging directly
into the base of a light pole to power up his massive sound system he called “The
Herculords”.
Going outside was dangerous because of the threat of ruthless gangs. However Herc
instilled values of peace and respect at his jams. Sedgwick Avenue and Cedar Park
became a safe haven for poor kids that did not have much, to have a few hours where
they could demonstrate a new creativity and positive energy. Soon Kool Herc and his
jams became legendary. Herc would drive the Herculords around in his Pontiac Catalina
convertible, moving Hip Hop music one neighborhood at a time.
Although only 17 years old at the time, Herc inspired younger teenagers to follow his
creativity and positive vision. These kids later became known as the pioneers of Hip
Hop like Melle Mel, Grand Master Caz, Sha-rock and Grand Wizard Theodore. Soon
more and more kids left gangs in The Bronx to join this creative movement. Herc and
the pioneers influenced artists that eventually launched Hip Hop music on records to the
world. This music has become the single largest selling music of all time. The Sedgwick
& Cedar brand celebrates this humble birthplace and creative spirit that launched a
world wide culture.

11. Hip Hop vs. Rap
Hip Hop is a lifestyle culture made up of unique creative art forms such:
- Turntabalism (DJ)
- Dance (b-boy / B-Girl)
- Emceeing (Story Tellers/ Crowd Pleasers on the Mic)
- Street Art (Graffiti)
THE HIP HOP CULTURE
The origins of Hip Hop culture were built on a value system inspired originally by Kool Herc that
delivered a message of Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun through Hip Hop.
Rap is the commercial off-shoot of the original art form of emceeing. However, Rap morphed into
promoting negative stereo types that often promote drugs, violence and denigration of women to
