Is it true that Hip hop culture was founded in the Bronx in the 1970s?
Yes. Multiple reference and scholarly sources state that hip-hop culture emerged in the Bronx in the early-to-late 1970s, with one dating its birth to an August 1973 Bronx party. A few items cover only individual elements such as dance or club venues.
