    The origin of Hip hop

    Hip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music, is a music genre formed in the
    United States in the 1970’s that consists of a stylized rhythmic music that
    commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.
    It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four stylistic
    5 elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching, break dancing, and graffiti writing.
    Other elements include sampling and beatboxing.

    Hip hop as music and culture formed during the 1970’s when block
    parties became increasingly popular in New York City, particularly
    among African-American underrepresented youth residing in the Bronx. At
    10 block parties DJs played percussive samples of popular songs using two
    turntables to extend the breaks. Rapping developed as a vocal style in which the
    artist speaks along with an instrumental and/or beat. The Sugarhill Gang's 1979
    song "Rapper's Delight" is widely regarded to be the first hip hop record to gain
    widespread popularity in the mainstream. The 1980’s marked the diversification
    15 of hip hop as the genre developed more complex styles. Prior to the 1980’s, hip
    hop music was largely confined within the United States. However, during the
    1980’s, it began its spread and became a part of the music scene in dozens of
    countries.
    Historically, the genre has been considered representative of the voice of the
    20 Black community, but some critics argue that the commercialization and
    globalization of hip hop music dilutes its message so that the genre no longer
    truly represents this voice.
