2. Hip Hop is a subculture that originated from the fusion of
African American and Latino American communities
during the 1970s, in New York City, specifically within the
Bronx. While the term is often used to refer to hip hop
music, in its broader sense hip hop culture is
characterized by the four elements of rapping, DJing,
breaking and graffiti.
R&B is a music genre that combines elements of rhythm
and blues, pop, soul, funk and hip hop.
Although the abbreviation "R&B" originates from
traditional rhythm and blues music, today the term R&B is
most often used to describe a style of African-American
music originating after the demise of disco in the 1980s.
Some sources refer to the style as urban contemporary
(the name of the radio format[citation needed] that
plays hip hop and contemporary R&B).
