A concert held at Yankee Stadium Friday evening celebrated the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

Some of the hip-hop’s biggest names in the music business were headliners, including Snoop Dogg, Lil’ Kim, Fat Joe, Nas, Ice Cube and others.

New Yorkers filled up the stadium to celebrate the fashion, breakdancing, graffiti and DJs that influenced “old school hip-hop artists.”

The South Bronx is considered the birthplace of the genre when DJ Kool Herc held a party on Aug. 11, 1973, at the community center on 1520 Sedgwick Ave.

New Yorkers who attended the concert told NY1’s reporter Dean Meminger that hip-hop is about rapping about their “communities” and “getting their message out there,” as well as “coming together to have a good time.”
