15 years? Go way back. This a early 70s Bronx sound.

Hi Jordan!

"Hip-hop" is about 15 years old (give or take a year). You'd have to take
it back to Afrika Bambaataa and even older to get the origins, but I'm sure
that someone else on the list will be able to trace it with more accuracy
than I.

Cheers!
John
