Hip hop is 52 years old.

At a back-to-school party in the Bronx in 1973, Jamaican-American deejay Kool Herc introduced the technique of playing the same album on two turntables and extending the drum section, which became known as the breakbeat. 🧵⬇️

Donald Byrd delivered a masterpiece of jazz-funk fusion that collected some of the finest players around. 1975’s “Stepping Into Tomorrow” helped write the blueprint for hip-hop’s golden-era sound.

The original past tense of ‘sneak’ was ‘sneaked.’

In the 1800s, ‘snuck’ sneaked in as an alternative past tense.

Its use has become so frequent that 'snuck' is now considered standard.

Happy anniversary to one of Daffy Duck’s best shorts of the 1950s, “Duck Amuck”! Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese’s masterclass case study of self-aware humor and fourth wall breaking. It really shows how much you can do with the medium of animation. #LooneyTunes
