Hip-hop is a culture that originated in the South Bronx and Harlem, New York City, among young African Americans and Puerto Ricans in the United States during the 1970s. Although the term hip-hop or rap is often used to refer to musical style and lifestyle, hip-hop is considered to be more than just musical in nature and consists of four main elements: rap (oral: reciting or singing), turntablism or "DJing" (aural or musical), breaking (physical: dancing) and graffiti (visual: painting). Despite their varied and contrasting methods of execution, they are easily associated with the poverty and violence that underlie the historical context that gave birth to the subculture. For this group of young people, it offers to rebel against the inequalities and hardships experienced in New York's poor urban areas so that hip hop initially functioned as a form of self-expression that would propose reflection, proclaim an alternative, try to challenge or simply evoke the state of circumstances of that environment, favoring their artistic development. Even as contemporary history continues, worldwide, there is a flowering of diverse styles in each of the four elements, adapting to the new contexts in which hip hop has been immersed, without disengaging from the fundamental principles, which provide stability and coherence to the culture.
The origin of the culture is derived from the street parties by the Ghetto Brothers. When they connected the amplifiers for their instruments and speakers to the streetlights at 163rd Street and Prospect Avenue. The same idea of taking energy from this street by hanging from streetlights was taken up by DJ Kool Herc after his parties in the condo's recreation room at 1920 Sedgwick Avenue, where he mixed the percussive breaks of the soul and funk songs to impress the crowd and especially some dancers who were looking for those 'breaks' to show off their b-boys gymnastic skills, while some MC encouraged the parties and rhymed to the rhythm, i.e. rapping, of the different beats, while several dancers competed, sometimes from other gangs. Not surprisingly, Kool Herc is recognized as the "father" of hip hop. DJ Afrika Bambaataa in conjunction with Zulu Nation, designed the pillars of hip pop culture, which he coined the terms: MCing or "Emceein", DJing or "Deejayin", b-boying and graffiti or aerosol writin.
Since its evolution throughout the South Bronx, hip hop culture has spread to different subcultures and communities around the world.9 Hip hop first emerged with Kool Herc and contemporary Disc Jockeys as well as imitators, all of whom experimented with creating rhythmic beats through loops breaks (small portions of songs that emphasize a percussion pattern) on two decks. This was later accompanied by rap, a rhythmic style of singing or poetry often performed in 16 time interval measurements, and beatboxing, a vocal technique used primarily to provide percussion elements of the music and various technical DJ effects. An original form of dance and particular styles of dress emerged among the fans of this new music, the breaking. These elements experienced considerable adaptation and development over the course of the history of the culture, even today
remains in constant evolution to be a culture present in over 200 nations.
Hip-hop is both a modern and an ancient phenomenon; much of the culture has revolved around the idea of updating classical recordings, attitudes and experiences to modern audiences in what is called "flipping". Today it is still rooted in other American genres such as blues, jazz and rock and roll, inspired mostly by soul, funk and, particularly since the album "Criminal Minded" (1986) by Boogie Down Productions, with the dancehall. It also competes with rock, pop and electronic music for the first place in sales figures worldwide as well as cultural influence, since each of the above has followers in practically every nation on five continents, giving rise to the creation of hundreds of styles and subcultures.
