Hip Hop music has its roots in the black funk and soul music of the 70's. Rap originated from the R&B tradition of which is complemented by the sampling and scratching which began in black ghettos of the United States. Hip Hop refers to not only a musical genre, but also the youth culture characterized by elements of rap (MCing), DJing, breakdancing, graffiti writing and beatboxing.
From 2005, when Eminem retreated to a creative break the dominance of the Detroit scene took off rapidly and crossover musicians such as Kanye West and Gnarls Barkley experienced great success. The race for sales in the autumn of 2007 between West's album Graduation and 50 Cent's ' Curtis was intense. Graduation proved that innovative rap music can be just as commercially successful as gangsta rap.
Afrika Bambaataa was one of the DJs that were inspired by DJ Kool Herc. In 1976 he organized his first party, accompanied by a crew of breakers he called the Zulu Kings and Zulu Queens, and later the Zulu nation emerged from these crews. From 1976, Grandmaster Flash developed other important DJ techniques such as Cutting, back spinning and phasing (where the disk is spun backwards to repeat a specific section). This action resulted in a slight speed reduction generated by the velocity of two turntables, known as the phase effect.
Also worth mentioning is British Hip Hop, which produced its own brand of Britcore, as well as Brazilian Hip Hop, it introduced its own style, influenced by the Bass Music Rio Funk. In Africa, a diverse scene developed in the meantime, often in its search for American role models but also produces independent varieties of African Hip Hop. Hip Hop music can indeed take many forms: either limited to beats of DJs, in which case the term rap is not appropriate. The term rap, let alone Hip Hop, cannot be applied to slam.
Around the 1990s, artists such as Nas Illmatic, The Infamous Mobb Deep and the Wu-Tang Clan reached milestones for rap music and thus defined the East Coast sound. The Gangsta Rap had now taken the lead and the following years were marked by the feud between east and west coast (where the assignment was not always strictly geographical). The commercial rise of Hip Hop around the 1990s was still bullish.
However, the major trailblazing rap star was Kurtis Blow, who had already been successful with his first single and it remained so with his subsequent albums until the mid-80s. After "Rapper's Delight", it was clear that money could be earned with Hip Hop, and the interest of music industry bosses turned to rap (the term Hip Hop was still uncommon).
Unlike older styles of African-American music that reflected only incidentally or diverted living conditions of black communities, Hip Hop stands as the very expression of these conditions and proposes to stick to street, that is, follow the codes and relationships that govern life in ghettos.
Hence, the inclusion of this music in the broader cultural group mentioned above, and the attitude of hip-hoppers who keep the dress style (street wear), the language of the ghetto (slang) and values. The attachment of hip-hoppers in their neighborhood (through the notion of representation) translates positively through a generally strong link with other hip-hoppers from the same place, expressed by the terms crew, posse, squad, homies, clan or clique. Rappers and underground Hip Hop producers are at the forefront of the culture and also influence popular music today.
