Photos of a historic hip-hop performance: 50 acts took the stage together to perform a live mixtape for the 50th anniversary of the culture.
Nowhere was that more apparent than on a Saturday night this summer in Atlantic City, when longtime Philadelphia-area promoter Charlie Mack teamed with DJ Jazzy Jeff and Doug E. Fresh to pull off a Book of World Records-level feat: One show, 50 acts in succession with no breaks. A live mixtape.
What transpired was hit after hit for more than 2 hours, and The Washington Post was there to document it. Early ’80s hip-hop royalty ranging from Melle Mel, Treacherous Three and Schoolly D performed one after another alongside golden-era stalwarts such as EPMD, Onyx, Black Sheep and Naughty By Nature. The show also gave hip-hop artists who had shorter runs in the spotlight a chance to take the stage in front of huge crowds again.
