History of Hip Hop

Hip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music, is a music genre developed in the United States by inner-city African Americans in the 1970s. It consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti writing. Other elements include sampling (or synthesis), and beatboxing.

What is Hip Hop?

Hip hop is a style of music that originated in the South Bronx in New York City in the 1970s. It is characterized by four elements: rap,DJing, graffiti, and break dancing. Hip hop is sometimes referred to as “rap music”, but this is only one element of the culture.

Elements of Hip Hop

Hip Hop is more than just music, it is a culture. The culture consists of four elements: MCing, DJing, B-boying/B-girling, and graffiti art. MCing, also known as rapping, is the lyrical delivery of rhymes over a beat. This was the first element of hip hop to develop and is considered the most important. The second element, DJing, is when a DJ creates a continuous flow of sound by playing percussion breaks of popular songs using two turntables. They would often use their own techniques such as cutting and scratching. The third element, B-boying/B-girling or breakdancing, is the dynamic style of dancing that emerged from the streets of New York City in the early 1970s. It was created by young African American and Latino youths. The fourth and final element is graffiti art. This is when someone uses aerosol cans or spray paint to create colorful images or words on a wall or other surface in public places.
