hip-hop

A jelenkor minden valószínûség szerint legjelentõsebb afroamerikai zenei stílusa.

A négerek lakta Harlem és Bronx "népzenéje", amely a graffitikkel és a táncokkal (break, robot stb.) együtt alkot egységes életérzést, gettókultúrát.

A rap és a hip-hop a graffitik a hangzó megfelelõje.

A szavak pergése gyakran olyan fergeteges, hogy alig lehet kivenni a szöveg értelmét, ami lehet vicces, vagy véresen komoly, de egyaránt szókimondó, sõt trágár.

A hangzáshoz tartozik a scratchelés és a rapelés.

A hip-hopot a zene tette világszerte ismertté a "The Message"-dzsel, a "Rapper's Delight"-tal és más 12 inches (single)-lemezekkel, melyek beszivárogtak a táncklubokba, és így a '80-as évek közepének listáira is.
A mûfaj nagymesterei Afrika Bambaata, a Grandmaster Flash és a Trouble Funk.

Akárcsak a reggaenek, a hip-hopnak is megvolt az üzleti virágkora, amikor betört a mainstream zenébe olyan slágerekkel, mint Herbie Hancock "Rockit"-je és Chaka Khan listavezetõ "I Feel For You"-ja, melyben Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel rapelt.

A Charlie Ahearn által rendezett "Wildstyle" c. film megpróbált divatot csinálni a hip-hopból -a reggae "The Harder They Come"-jához hasonlóan-, de a zene, nem pedig a mitológia vált népszerûvé, ha csak rövid idõre is.

Does the story behind the word “hip-hop” go back to the nineteenth century?

Thirty-two years ago, Keith “Cowboy” Wiggins, who was a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, was teasing a friend. The friend had just signed up to serve in the U.S. Army.

Cowboy was mimicking the rhythm of marching soldiers by scat singing “hip hop hip hop.”

He later used the phrase in a performance. Then the name began to be used by disco musicians in a derogatory way to identify a new type of music being performed by MCs and DJs. But before long, its negative connotation wore off and the name stuck.

(By the way, MC is an abbreviation for Master of Ceremonies and DJ stands for disc jockey.)

Let’s break down the word. Hip-hop combines two slang terms. Hip, which means “in the know,” has been a part of African American vernacular since the late nineteenth century. Hop represents the hopping movement exhibited by hip-hop performers.

The key individuals and groups credited with popularizing the term in the late seventies and early eighties include The Sugarhill Gang, Lovebug Starski, DJ Hollywood, and Afrika Bambaataa.

Hip Hop
is a musical genre that came from the hip hop culture of New York City. To be exact, the genre originated in the Bronx in the 1970’s. In the early days, hip hop music was nothing more than a disc jockey looping samples on a couple of turntables. The music evolved and eventually a vocalist was added. However, instead of singing over looped beats, these street poets rhythmically recited their couplets.

These vocalists became known as rappers. Today, hip hop is a global phenomenon and one of the most popular genres of music in the United States. Some of hip hop’s biggest names include Jay Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, OutKast, Kanye West, and Wiz Khalifa.
