Hip Hop is a genre of music which orientates back from the 70's in New York, it originates from a mixed African and Latino Community which we around in New York at the time. Hip Hop culture has 4 main elements, these are Rapping, DJing, Breaking and Graffiti. The reason Hip Hop began was due to DJ's isolating percussion break from funk or rock music so audiences could dance to it. Back when this first began MC's would speak before the beat of the music, telling jokes or phrases that rhymed this then became more stylized and was known as rapping. In 1979 Hip Hop had become a popular genre that was widely recorded although the lyrics began to be an issue from their referencing to drugs, violence, sex and misogyny. Never the less the genre kept up its success and now is widely listened to as a mainstream genre.
