Because Hip-Hop Turns 50 and I Need to Smile

In the streets where beats and rhymes collide,

Hip-Hop turned fifty with style and pride.

From Bronx's block parties to global fame,

A journey wild, yet still the same.

DJ's spin vinyl like a magical spell,

Stories of life they weave and tell.

Rappers drop lines, quick and witty,

Painting pictures of the gritty city.

Breakdancers pop, lock, and defy gravity,

In a world of rhythm and pure insanity.

Graffiti artists spray colors so bold,

Tales of the streets, in every stroke they're told.

Sampling history, creating anew,

Hip-Hop's heart beats, forever true.

Fifty years young, still rocking the show,

With Doug E. Fresh, beatboxing on the go.

His rhythms and sounds, a mesmerizing feat,

Adding to Hip-Hop's pulse, oh so sweet.

Smiles and head-nods, as the speakers blow,

Here's to Hip-Hop's journey, a dynamic flow.

So here's to Hip-Hop, the culture so neat,

Fifty years strong, it can't be beat.

A cheeky salute to its endless style,

Making the world dance, groove, and smile.
