2. • Hip hop music, also known as , rap music or hip-hop music, is a
musical genre consisting of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly
accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is
chanted. Much like dub music, hip hop as a DJing form started with
no vocals and was purely of an electronic nature. However, the
roots of spoken hip hop music are found in African-American music
and ultimately African music, particularly that of the griots of West
African culture. The African-American traditions of signifying', the
dozens, and jazz poetry all influence hip hop music, as well as the
call and response patterns of African and African-American religious
ceremonies. Soul singer James Brown, and musical 'comedy' acts
such as Rudy Ray Moore and Blowfly are often considered
"godfathers" of hip hop music.
