DESCUBRE CÓMO EXPERIMENTAR LA CAPITAL DEL HIP HOP

Atlanta ha sido reconocida como una de las ciudades más creativas del país y la capital del hip hop.

BY DANIELA CINTRON

De los barrios de Atlanta han salido al mundo importantes iconos del hip hop, como Outkast, T.I., TLC, 21 Savage, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Lil Jon, y muchos más. A pesar de ocupar un lugar importante en la música hoy, no siempre fue así. La historia del hip hop en Atlanta ha sido llena de retos y desafíos.  El hip hop llegó a Atlanta a finales de la década de 1980, pero no tuvo una resonancia inmediata. Poco a poco fue desenvolviendo su propia personalidad dándole al rap un toque sureño que logró resaltar del movimiento de hip hop que estaba ocurriendo en Los Ángeles y Nueva York. A pesar de que muchos dudaban del potencial de Atlanta, hoy en día es la meca del hip hop.

Celebrando el 50 aniversario del hip hop, vive esta cultura visitando lugares como Walter’s, la tienda de ropa y

calzado en Downtown donde puedes comprar los nuevos Jordans junto a iconos del hip hop.

Lenox Square en Buckhead es un lugar emblemático donde Antwon y André 3000 se encontraron antes de crear Outkast y donde T.I. empezó a repartir volantes y copias de sus primeros mixtapes.

Cascade Family Skating Rink es una pista de patinaje que fue elemental en el crecimiento del hip hop durante los años 1980 y 1990 y frecuentada por artistas como TLC y Jermaine Dupri.

Como un subgénero del hip hop, la música trap se originó aquí en el sureste de los Estados Unidos y Atlanta es hogar del Trap Music Museum

The Swag Shop es una peluquería propiedad del rapero Killer Mike, que celebra el género y ofrece una experiencia a otro nivel.

En el aeropuerto Hartsfield-Jackson International, Chicken+Beer es un restaurante del mismísimo Ludacris.

En Castleberry Hill in Downtown, 2Chainz ofrece comida global y bebidas inspiradas por el mismo en su restaurante Esco Lounge, y bajando la

calle en Old Lady Gang, la mamá del mismísimo Kandi Burruss prepara los platillos favoritos de este artista quien también ayudó a producir grandes éxitos con artistas como TLC.

El hip hop en Atlanta es más que un género musical, es una cultura que se puede vivir, sentir y probar. Descubre y vive el mundo del hip hop en Atlanta y déjate llevar por esa magia que hace a Atlanta tan especial.
