Chuck D was a graphic-design student running a college radio show out here in suburban Nassau County when he and the crew around him built a group meant to sound like the news at its most alarming, sirens, dense collage, a voice pitched to argue. They came from Roosevelt and Hempstead, a few miles east, which is not where the story of hip-hop is usually set.
