The co-founder of hip hop is having a second youth nowadays. As a lecturer at the Cornell University, he apparently decided to donate his huge record collection to the Cornell University Library. This collection is huge by its volume but also by the influence it got on the birth of hip hop. One can easily imagine that all the music Bambaataa embraced until the early 80's contributed to the sound(s) we hear today.
But before being donated, the collection is exhibited at the Gavin Brown Gallery, Manhattan, NYC. There have been lots of articles about it on the web lately, so here's a selection : Wax Poetics, Egotrip Land, Village Voice, Dust & Grooves.
