Hip Hop Music Genre

  Hip hop music, also called hip-hop. rap music or hip-hop music, is a
  music genre consisting of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly
accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.It
 developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key
stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching, break dancing, and
   graffiti writing.Other elements include sampling (or synthesis), and
                                 beatboxing.
 While often used to refer to rapping, "hip hop" more properly denotes
      the practice of the entire subculture.The term hip hop music is
sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music,though rapping
    is not a required component of hip hop music; the genre may also
   incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including DJing and
              scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.
Origin of Hip Hop


Hip hop as music and culture formed during the
1970s when block parties became increasingly
popular in New York City, particularly among
African American and Latino youth residing in the
Bronx.Block parties incorporated DJs who played
popular genres of music, especially funk and soul
music. Due to the positive reception, DJs began
isolating the percussive breaks of popular songs.
This technique was then common in Jamaican dub
music, and was largely introduced into New York
by immigrants from Jamaica and elsewhere in the
Caribbean, including DJ Kool Herc, who is
generally considered the father of hip hop.
Because the percussive breaks in funk, soul and
disco records were generally short, Herc and other
DJs began using two turntables to extend the
breaks
New school hip hop

The new school of hip hop was the second wave of hip hop music, originating in
1983–84 with the early records of Run-D.M.C. and LL Cool J. As with the hip hop
preceding it (which subsequently became known as old school hip hop), the new
school came predominately from New York City. The new school was initially
characterized in form by drum machine-led minimalism, with influences from rock
music. It was notable for taunts and boasts about rapping, and socio-political
commentary, both delivered in an aggressive, self-assertive style. In image as in
song its artists projected a tough, cool, street b-boy attitude. These elements
contrasted sharply with the funk and disco influenced outfits, novelty hits, live
bands, synthesizers and party rhymes of artists prevalent prior to 1984, and
rendered them old-school. New school artists made shorter songs that could more
easily gain radio play, and more cohesive LPs than their old school counterparts.
By 1986 their releases began to establish the hip hop album as a fixture of the
mainstream. Hip hop music became commercially successful, as exemplified by the
Beastie Boys' 1986 album Licensed to Ill, which was the first rap album to hit #1 on
the Billboard charts.
