Hip Hop

Hip hop consists of spoken word poetry performed over music. It originated in the Bronx in the 1970s when DJ Kool Herc began hosting block parties and developed breakbeat mixing techniques. He brought the Jamaican tradition of toasting to the parties, laying the foundation for rapping. The four pillars of hip hop are MCing, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti art. In the 1980s, hip hop began to incorporate social and political themes, and its popularity grew with collaborations like Run DMC and Aerosmith. Hip hop culture provided expression and community for youth.
