50 Years of Hip-Hop - 1997: PaRappa the Rapper

17 min • 26 maj 2023

Roddy Nikpour talks with Canadian author Mike Sholars about the 1997 Playstation game PaRappa the Rapper, in which a lovesick cartoon dog raps his way through teenage insecurity. It started a dynasty of rhythm-based games, illustrating how hip-hop — and Black culture at large — set the stage for other commercially successful productions. 

Written and produced by Roddy Nikpour. 

Special thanks to Dusty Henry.
