Hip hop music was developed in the late 1970s and not many
people knew about it. It was created in the poorest districts of New
York City by African American and Latino teenagers as part of a hip
hop scene that also produced breakdancing and graffiti art. Through
the years, Hip Hop culture started to improve and it has became
more popular thanks to some rappers who made Rap hits, like Nas,
Puff Daddy, The Notorious B.I.G, 2Pac, Ice Cube, etc.

Hip Hop nowadays is one of the most heard types of music in
the world that has infected other countries to listen and to
produce, like Portugal. Many people may think that Hip Hop
has changed, but it's exactly the same since it was created.
Hip Hop, as already mentioned, is a type of music that mixes
Rap, Electronic Music and Funk, which is why most of the

genre but remains the same and good Hip Hop! Nowadays we
