It’s only been a couple of days. First we had the 50th anniversary of when hip-hop was originated (Aug. 10, 1973) and then only yesterday (Aug. 11), I saw that in Cleveland, Ohio, particularly on E. 1999 Street that the street was named after one group that originated from that neighborhood, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
