Hip-Hop Defined:
Hip-hop is a form of popular music that’s comprised mainly of mc'ing (rapping) and dj'ing. The other two components that complete the four elements of hip-hop are graffiti and breakdancing. As hip-hop evolved into big business, the four elements (mc'ing, dj'ing, graffiti, and breakdancing) are constantly being merged with others like clothing, language, and mind set in general.
Hip-Hop Vs. Rap:
Rap is the form of music that stemmed from the hip-hop culture. Hip hop is a lifestyle with its own lingo, dress code, etc. In the words of KRS-One, “hip-hop is something you live, rap is something you do.”
Hip-Hop Started in the Bronx:
A product of cross-cultural integration, rap is deeply rooted within ancient African culture and oral tradition. Hip-hop is believed to have originated in the Bronx by a Jamaican DJ named Kool Herc. Herc’s style of dj'ing involved reciting rhymes over instrumentals. At house parties, Herc would rap with the microphone, using a myriad of in-house references. Documented duplicates of Herc's house parties soon drifted through Brooklyn, Manhattan, etc spreading hip-hop and spawning new artists.
The First Rap/Hip-hop Songs:
The first rap recordings were “King Tim III (Personality Jock)" by Fatback Band and “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang. The latter reached the #36 spot on the Billboard charts (a huge feat by 1970's standards), demonstrating the ability of hip-hop to draw commercial appeal.
Hip-hop As a Melting Pot:
Hip-hop as a musical melting pot is still evolving. It has become more eclectic, borrowing from soul, jazz and live instrumentations with the likes of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and most recently Kanye West championing the ‘soulful rap’ movement.
