Hip Hop Music and the four core elements



Hip Hop is also known as rap music or hip hop music which is also a music genre that consisted of four key elements Mcing , Break dancing , DJing ,rapping and beat boxing

keith cowboy is one person that is said to coin the term hip hop as he teased a friend in the army who when walking would hip hop as they march which created a rhythm

Hip hop is also about rhythm because when you hear a beat you just cant literally stop dancing especially when your in your own zone and the beat of the music just makes you dance lol .
Rapping is basically a rhyme that is spoken lyrically to a beat which may consist of 8 bars-16bars and so on
rapping is a way of communicating poetry to a vocal style
DJ kool herc is an Mc that introduced rap first as he would rap a simple poetry to funk music


Break dancing is style of dancing that consists of movement to a beat Dj herc coined this term and recognised that people would wait for a beat in a section of a song or rap and would start to break out into a dance infront of an audience and bust some moves. break dancing today has become very entertaining in the tv industry as hip hop dancing keeps people thrilled and entertained to see the latest break dance moves



DJing also known as scratching is a way of mixing two or more beats into a song to create a new style of music

Beat boxing is making vocal sounds through the use of mouth to make beats which is very creative
