Rap Mania: The Roots Of Rap in 1990 was a bi-coastal simulcast concert that brought together some of the most influential artists in Hip Hop of that era for a one-time-only show. East Coast Hip Hop meets West Coast Hip Hop before the gangsta craze and east vs west rivalry really got started.

The show was a celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Hip Hop and took place simultaneously at the Apollo Theater in New York City and The Palace Theater in Hollywood. We have selected some of the best performances for your enjoyment!
