For Hip Hop philatelists, and there are a few, the US Postal Service is issuing a new set of stamps on July 1 commemorating Hip Hop’s contributions to the culture. Arguably the most impactful cultural export of the last 50 years, it has also revolutionized our home scene integrally.
It is kind of shocking to see the USPS paying homage to MC-ing (Rap), DJ-ing, B-Boying and Graffiti, but it just goes to show that you can make the road by walking.
