Hip Hop : Urban Music !

The history of hip hop goes back to the decade of 60’s where racial problems, social inequities and street violence were a very harsh reality of urban life amongst the economically disfavoured communities.

The word hip hop is used to describe a music style but it is actually much more than that. Hip hop is a cultural movement of its own. It’s composed of three main artistic manifestations which are: graffiti (the visual part), rap (the music part), breakdancing (the body part) and djing (scratching and turntablism).

Hip hop music has always been created with the values of the cultural movement, the themes of the streets. Whether it was violence, drugs, guns, prostitutes, money, etc..

Most of people tell that rap or hip hop music came out of the street poetry of bands like The Last Poets or The Whats Prophets but it was the release of Sugarhill Gang’s album Rapper’s Delight in 1979 that really meant the birth of the rap genre.

Hip Hop was born in NYC but it soon spread throughout the whole United States.

There are a lot of different variation and sub-genres of hip hop. Each one comes from its place of origin (city, neighbourhood or state). This also means that different sub-genres of hip hop also have slightly different lyric themes. There has been a long history of rivalry between hip hop scenes like the famous westcoast vs eastcoast war throughout the 90’s, which culminated with artists like 2Pac being murdered.

The music world opened its years to rap and hip hop when LL Cool J released in 1985. Hip Hop literally burst and influenced later all other music genres.

Some of the most popular artists and bands (past and present) include: The Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Run DMC, Public Image Ltd, Eminem, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Wu Tang Clan, TLC, Notorious B.I.G and many others…
