In 1973 hip hop beats; not be confused with hip hop fashion, were first presented when a black/African American named Kool Herc and his sister hosted a “back to school jam” in Bronx NY. Hip hop musical is a culture product of Afro-Caribbean, African American and inner-city Latino communities.There are four main elements of HipHop, deejaying, rapping, graffiti, b-boying. The focus here is rapping, a style of music that involves rhythmic speech in a chant that accompanies a melody/beat. Rapping is not just about rhyming but also using your words to make a point or prove yourself to the rap and/or hip-hop community based on the flow-how well the rhyme flows-, the wording and meaning.
