Hip hop turns 50 this month! This week's Sunday Reading by writer and filmmaker Nelson George celebrates the birth of the genre, which has become a global cultural movement. The short text comprises the introduction to The Nelson George Mixtape: Volume 2, a new zine that gathers together essential writing by George from 1978 onward as he chronicled the birth of hip hop in New York City.
