Wholesale LA Pop Art Men's Word Art T-shirt - BOOMBOX

Created using some of the greatest rap hits of the 1980s Before the MP3 and the IPOD there was the “Boom Box” also referred to as a “Ghetto Blaster.” The advancement of music technology has left the Boom Box looking like a dinosaur compared to the electronics of today. But there is one thing these advancements can’t take away and that is how important the Boom Box was in the popularization of Rap and Hip Hop in the 80’s. To think that in today’s world you plug in and escape into your own world; in the 1980’s it was the complete opposite. Put the cassette in, turn the knob up to 10, throw the Boom Box on your shoulder and head out. That’s how music caught on, that’s how Rap spread across the nation.
