Hip Hop is a cultural movement originating among ethnic minorities in the South Bronx during the late 1970s. Portions of this subculture was becoming mainstream around the early 1980s; during the 1990s Hip Hop culture spread around the world. The movement is said to have kick started by Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and DJ Kool Herc. The numbers of Hip Hop producers in New York and Los Angeles has since ballooned.
The five elements are as follows: DJ'ing - Turning records and scratching them; Rap - rhythm and poetry. B-Boying: Different dance forms in either very fluid or rhythmic movement. The dancer twirls with the head spin and often making very complicated acrobatic moves. Other concepts of the dance are the Top Rock, Down Rock - these form basic elements. Electric Boogie is also a form belonging to B-boying.
Hip Hop music consists of two main elements: rap (recitative rhythmic rhymes) and rhythm defined by a DJ. Rap artists call themselves MCs (Master of Ceremony). Some MCs turn their lyrics into intricate puzzles (eg, Ghostface Killa said that he deliberately seeks to compose rhymes such that no one understood them except himself).
A feud between the two parts of the country resulted in a lot of trouble and some sad cases resulted in assaults and even murder. One of the most publicized murder was that of west coast rap star Tupac Shakur (popularly known as 2Pac), who was shot in 1996. Few months later, east coast rapper Notorious BIG (also known as Biggie Smalls) was shot and killed.
Hip Hop concept of subcultural contexts started in the 1970s when the Jamaican -born Clive Campbell known as DJ Kool Herc, moved to New York. He tried to make rhymes of his Reggae beats to Block Parties. Contemporary New Yorkers were not so crazy about reggae so Kool Herc had to try something new. He began using small instrumental bits of contemporary hit songs as he repeated (looped) indefinitely by use of a mixer and two turntables with the same plate.
Sylvia Robinson is rightfully regarded as the godmother of hip hop. She has made her contribution through commercialization and mass distribution of copies. Together with her husband, they established a recording studio called Sugar Hill Records in 1970. The company was named in honor of the rich culture of African-American areas such as (Manhattan known as Harlem).
In early autumn 1979, her studio released the single, Rapper's Delight performed by The Sugarhill Gang, which produced a sensation in the U. S. Market. The single is considered the first rap record despite the fact that some earlier entries contested championship glory. But thanks to this 11 minute track, the American public and the media learned about the hip hop phenomenon. However, despite the popularity of this song (sold 8 million copies), some people agreed in opinion that it was a musical joke of which nothing happens further.
The former gang leader set out to clean up all the violence in predominantly black ghettos. The Zulu Nation was a peaceful alternative to violence and gang warfare. He went on to use the energy and passion on something positive instead. For example, through B-Boy competitions. He is also seen as a founding father of underground Hip Hop producers.
