2. Culture
 Since hip-hop emerged from the South Bronx in the 1970s, it has become an
international, multi-billion-dollar phenomenon. It has grown to encompass more
than just rap music.
 Keeping much of its original fan base, hip-hop music and culture have become
popular among mainstream consumers—particularly suburban youth. Some
believe that as commercial and “gangsta” rap emerged, so did lyrics that glorify
drugs, violence and misogyny. Many artists who choose, instead, to
feature socially conscious and politically oriented lyrics are considered alternative
or underground.

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, turntablism, and scratching, beatboxing, and
instrumental tracks.
 Stylised as rhyming speech and rhythmic music. Could also include beat boxing.
