History of hip hop

Hip hop is an artistic and cultural movement that emerged in the United States in the late 1960s in the African-American and Latin American communities of New York's popular neighborhoods such as Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn, where from the beginning stood out manifestations characteristic of the origins of hip Hop; For example, music (funk, rap, blues, DJing), dancing (hustle, uprocking, lindy hop, popping, locking) and painting (spray, bombing, murals, political graffiti).

Afrika Bambaataa coined the term hip hop at that time, although years later KRS One, originally from the Bronx, wanted to unify in four the elements of hip hop: MCing (rapping), DJing (turntablism), breakdancing (bboying) and The graffiti. He did this with the idea of ​​simplifying the definition of hip hop; There are other manifestations that would be excluded from this classification, such as beatbox, murals, beatmakin or beats, popping, locking uprocking and so on.

 The union of two elements, the MC (Master of Ceremony) and the DJ (Disc Jockey), conform the musical style of hip hop: rap.

 Bboying is the dance popularly known as breakdance. The person who practices this dance is called bboy, bgirl (fly girl). There is a noticeable difference between a bboy and a breaker, the first one dances for purely cultural issues and for bringing new elements, innovating and bringing the difficulty level to new dimensions. The breaker is the person who dances solely for the sake of profit or fashion, is not aware of the hip-hop movement generically speaking, and does not know the story and basics that a bboy should know. Although it is worth mentioning that some full-time bboys work advertising or on TV, but this is justified by the great advances that have given to the culture, not only giving exhibitions for the people but contributing to the creation of new styles.

 Graffiti is the artistic (pictorial) branch of this applied culture on urban surfaces. The aesthetics of graffiti has influenced the cartoon (as in the strips of The Boondocks) and the design of clothes, album covers and other objects. Those who practice this facet are called writers. There are other styles of graffiti that do not have to be part of graffiti in hip hop culture. They are: radical & political graffiti, street art & post graffiti (ie graffiti on politics) and computer generated graffiti.

The beatbox is inspired by an original Maya art that imitated sounds of nature with the mouth and resurfaced in New York as the technique of emulating percussive sounds or instruments of rap music with the mouth. Practitioners of this facet are known as human beatbox or beatboxers. It originated this art in the time of the 80 because the rappers did not have enough money to buy audio equipment, then they began to imitate them with the mouth.

origins:

Hip-hop as music emerged in the late 1950s, when block parties became popular in New York City, especially in the Bronx, because of the inaccessibility of its clubs and its people. Nightclubs that existed in affluent areas of the Big Apple, such as The Loft and Studio 54.
