Hip-Hop today is a global culture that has changed music, dance, fashion, language —and even politics. But where did this worldwide cultural movement begin? We trace hip-hop back to its humble beginnings, when the kids of the Bronx crammed into house parties, rec rooms, and public parks to hear music like they’d never heard it before.

I also really loved this documentary miniseries by Canadian artist Shad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip-Hop_Evolution
Hip hop evolution TV miniseries on Netflix does a really nice history on it from the very early days.
As a supplement to this, I would recommend the documentary series "Hip Hop evolution" on Netflix.

I found it not just incredibly interesting and entertaining, but I believe it gives one a much higher resolution perspective on the complexity of the culture and experiences of African Americans, as well as the incredible skill and devotion to the craft so many people have.
I have a hunch that the simplistic (and highly speculative) nature of the public discussion on race and a whole bunch of other topics is probably one of the biggest reasons we never make progress on things that seem like they should be easy.
