With every cause there's always a beginning on how things started i honestly wonder what influenced people to start dancing like mc hammer or how people started to beatbox and i don't mean batter a cardboard box into pieces it's literally the sound of music through the use of your mouth.
Well Hip Hop is two slang words put together the word hip originated in 1898 meaning current and hop meaning movement so basically its about the whats the latest in the culture e.g fashion ,food , arts and entertainment and how rhythm and movement are entailed with today's dancing and dancing in the past.
Hip Hop started when people started to find common issues that most people faced which was either poverty , violence or environmental problems.
The four core elements of hip hop culture was rap music , turntablism (DJing), breaking(style of dancing) and graffiti art people being turning their problems into talents an example of this would be a rapper rapping about poverty and how his family struggled.Or how a graffiti artist illustrates poverty or life in south Bronx
People such as the ghetto brothers throw block parties and plugged in music to their stereos and played music this was to help the streets come together and find a common interest which mainly was hip hop music.
when people started Mcing and rapping they would normal rap or mc to a beat which a DJ would make also rap battles took place which made people want to learn how to rap and beat the champions lol i couldnt rap to save my life the only thing i guess i could do is make a beat from my hand using a table lol african style but i guess African beats contributed to the start of hip hop aswell as it consisted of different styles and mixing different music to create new music.
