All year long, we’ve been celebrating 50 years of hip-hop.
On Thursday, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens hosted the city’s “Hip Hop 50 Time Capsule” at the Atlanta History Center.
Inside the capsule is memorabilia from those who made an impact over the years.

Dickens says hip-hop runs “real...real deep” in Atlanta.
“As Atlanta continues year after year to hold the title and now the global home of hip-hop, I know where it started, but we know where it’s at,” Dickens said.
Twenty-five years from now, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary.
In the words of André 3000, we hope the South will have ‘something to say’ about technology, music, fashion, culture, and dance.
