State of Play — SBJ August 21, 2023

The lineup of rap superstars who gathered in the Bronx last week to celebrate the golden anniversary of hip-hop in the place of its birth would have made the 1927 Yankees envious: Run-DMC, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Lauryn Hill, Nas and, rocking a classic pinstripe jersey from the borough’s other legendary contribution to culture, Lil Wayne. The concert at Yankee Stadium also served as the start of MLB’s yearlong partnership with Hip Hop 50. The league and its 30 clubs will have content, merchandise and more to mark the genre’s 50 years, with Public Enemy’s Chuck D serving as MLB’s music ambassador.
