Hip-hopowe legendy

Hip-hop to stosunkowo młody gatunek muzyczny (w porównaniu - na przykład - do rock and rolla), ale zdążył już stworzyć własne legendy. Część z nich - niestety - już od nas odeszła, inni zaś - wciąż są z nami, i sprawiają nam radość swoimi płytami. My, w ten weekend, zdecydowaliśmy się specjalnie dla was przypomnieć 15 osób, które - według nas - wniosły szczególne zasługi w rozwój tej muzyki. Autorką zdjęć jest znana fotograf, uwieczniająca od kilkunastu lat gwiazdy muzyki, Catherine McGann. My zaś, razem z Katie, zapraszamy na wyjątkową podróż z ludźmi, którzy stanowią prawdziwą legendę...

  • Mateusz Natali Mateusz Natali
    Młody, uzależniony od pasji. Nałogowo pali mikrofony, chłonie dożylnie rap od boombapu po południe.
  • Robert Inglot Robert Inglot
    Kolekcjoner dobrych melodii i niebanalnych brzmień. Dźwięki durne i wtórne omija szerokim łukiem.
  • Daniel Wardzinski Daniel Wardzinski
    Fanatyk i fundamentalista. Bardzo niebezpieczny dla społeczeństwa. Za generalizowanie i stereotypy przegryza tętnice.
