HYPOTHESIS
It is estimated that in the coming years Hip-hop culture will grow and society's
view of rap will change.
This culture will grow as a means of expression for young people from the
slums, also as a way to demonstrate and raise awareness in society about
social issues and problems of general interest.
BODY
Origin
Hip hop is an artistic and cultural movement that emerged in the United States
in the late 1960s in the African-American and Latin American communities of
popular New York neighborhoods such as the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn,
where from the beginning characteristic manifestations of the origins of hip hop
were highlighted. hop; for example, music (funk, rap, Blues, DJing), dancing
(hustle, uprocking, lindy hop, popping, locking) and painting (aerosol, bombing,
murals, political graffiti).
Afrika Bambaataa coined the term hip hop at that time, although years later
KRS One, originally from the Bronx, wanted to unify the elements of hip hop into
four: MCing (rapping), DJing (turntablism), breakdancing (bboying) and graffiti.
He did this with the idea of simplifying the definition of hip hop; but for many this
may be incomplete, since there are other manifestations that would be excluded
from this classification, such as beatbox, murals, beatmakin or production of
musical backgrounds ('beats'), popping, locking, uprocking, etc.
* The union of two of the elements, the MC (Master of Ceremony) and the DJ
(Disc Jockey), make up the musical style of hip hop: rap.
* Bboying is the dance popularly known as breakdancing. The person who
practices this dance is called bboy, bgirl (fly girl). There is a notable difference
between a bboy and a breaker, the former dances for purely cultural reasons
and to provide new elements, innovating and taking the level of difficulty to new
dimensions. The breaker or breakdancer is the person who dances only for
profit and fashion, is not aware of the hip-hop movement generically speaking,
and does not know the history and fundamentals that a bboy should know.
Although, it is worth mentioning that some full-time bboys work in advertising or
on TV, but this is justified by the great advances they have made to culture, not
only giving exhibitions for people but also contributing to the creation of new
styles.
* Graffiti is the artistic (pictorial) branch of this culture applied to urban surfaces.
The aesthetics of graffiti have influenced comics (such as The Boondocks
strips) and the design of clothing, album covers and other objects. Those who
practice this facet are called writers. There are other styles of graffiti that do not
have to be part of graffiti in hip hop culture. They are: radical & political graffiti,
street art & post graffiti (that is, graffiti about politics) and computer generated
graffiti.
* Beatbox is inspired by an art originating from the Mayans that consisted of
imitating sounds of nature with the mouth and that reemerged in New York as
the technique of emulating percussion sounds or instruments typical of rap
music with the mouth. Practitioners of this facet are known as human beatbox
or beatboxers. This art originated in the 80s because rappers did not have
enough money to buy audio equipment, so they began to imitate them with their
mouths.
Hip hop as music emerged in the late 1950s, when street parties or “block
parties” became frequent in New York City, especially in the Bronx, due to how
inaccessible clubs and clubs were for its people. nightclubs that were in wealthy
areas of the Big Apple, such as The Loft and Studio 54. Street parties were
accompanied by funk and soul, until the first DJs began to isolate the
percussion and extend it, since the song became more danceable. This
technique was already common in Jamaica (in dub music), which led the
Jamaican immigrant community to participate in these parties. This beat
adaptation was later accompanied with another fresh new technique called
rapping (a rhythmic, improvisation-based singing technique).
A prominent figure, considered by many to be the father of hip hop, is DJ Kool
Herc, who, along with other DJs such as Grandmaster Flash, caused two of the
elements of hip hop to be born and develop. On the one hand, the figure of the
“Master of ceremonies” (abbreviated MC) was created, who was the one who
introduced the DJ. Little by little, the figure of the MC became more important,
as he recited the beats (hip-hop rhythms) with increasingly ingenious texts. At
the same time, they began to dance, reserving the best dance movement for
when the song stopped momentarily (that is, when it made a “break”). This
phenomenon originated the term B-boy (break-boy), which would be “the boy
who uses the break”, and thus the breakdance movement was born.
Although graffiti was already being done in the 1960s for political reasons, it
was not included in hip hop culture until, in the 1970s and 1971, the innovative
city in terms of graffiti was no longer Philadelphia, taking the place. New York
with the writers, so called for painting, above all, large colored letters with their
pseudonyms. Among them, the most notable writers were Phase 2, Seen and
Futura 2000.
Graffiti quickly made its way into the culture, since it not only allowed walls to be
decorated with the name or group of the graffiti artist himself, but also graffiti
began to be made that named crews or groups of breakdancers, and DJ's or
MC's, at the same time that the areas where the famous Block parties were
organized were painted
The 70's
With techniques such as audio mixing (a process used in recording and editing
sound) and scratching, along with interruptions or breaks, distinctive elements
were created that denoted that very little remained of the original funk or record
with which it began. . At first, Herc focused on DJ work, and began working with
two MC's, Coke La Rock (this was the first MC's crew, Kool Herc & the
Herculoids). Little by little, these rappers became known to the public, and later
more varied MCs began to emerge, with a marked and personalized vocal and
rhythmic approach, incorporating rhymes with a concise message, often with
sexual or eschatological themes, in an attempt to differentiate themselves and
entertain the audience. In addition, they also incorporated rhymes and lyrics
from African-American culture, such as The Dozens, an African-American
tradition according to which two rivals, usually male, exchange insults in a
verbal competition, disrespecting the family. contrary and mainly to his mother
and sister, showing great mental and oral agility. The objective of the game is to
demonstrate emotional strength, with the loser being the one of the opponents
who gets angry first. The Dozens has its origins in the New Orleans slave
market.
While Kool Herc & the Herculoids were the first to gain greater fame in New
York in the 1970s, other MC groups sprang up from all corners. These were
often collaborations between former gangsters, such as Afrika Bambaataa, a
former member of the feared “Black Spades” who later became founder and
leader of the Universal Zulu Nation. This would be the first manifestation of an
organization of the now known four elements of culture (graffiti, DJ, MC and B-
boying) into a single force that would creatively replace the previous battles of
gang violence.
The 80's
During the eighties there was an intense and complex diversification in the
genre. The simple stories of the MC's of the seventies were replaced by more
lyrical, metaphorical and complex rappers, who rhymed over complex beats.
Although rap music was still considered an 'underground' phenomenon that was
more related to independent labels; The changes came with the succulent
contract that the Mercury label made the Harlem MC, Kurtis Blow, sign, who in
1980 with “The Breaks” achieved enormous success, and became the first
rapper to belong to a multinational label. In fact, he became a pop star, whose
appearance in a Sprite advertisement made him the first hip hop artist
considered important to represent a special product, in addition to being rated
by the hip hop audience as a record-breaker in sales. .
Before 1980, hip hop was unknown outside of the United States. But during this
decade, it began to spread to everyone on the continent and became part of the
music scene in dozens of countries. At the beginning of the decade, the

breakdancing movement became the first aspect of hip hop culture to reach
Germany, Japan and South Africa, where the group Black Noise established the
practice. Meanwhile hip hop was launched in France (Dee Nasty in 1984 with
“Paname City Rappin”) and in the Philippines (Dyords Javier with “Na Onseng
Delight” and Vincent Dafalong's with “Nunal”). In Puerto Rico, Vico C became
one of the first Spanish-speaking rappers, along with the American of Mexican
origin Kid Frost.
The birth of gangsta rap

The first gangsta rap album to have massive success among the popular
masses was NWA's Straight Outta Compton (1988), which sold more than 2.5
million copies. They triumphed with a controversial and until now questioned
theme. Drugs, violence or sex are some of the fundamental requirements in the
lyrics of the subgenre called gangsta rap, predominant themes in the lyrics of
the album. It was said that the gangsta rap musical genre began with Ice-T's
“Six n' da Mornin” which from then on reached an important boom. Specifically,
with the song “Fuck tha Police”, the quartet earned the enmity of the law and
the FBI, who even expressed their discontent with the band in a strong
statement. N.W.A. made a lasting impact on the world, especially on his
homeland, the West Coast.
latin hip hop

Hip hop has always had a very close relationship with the Latin community in
New York. The first Latin DJ was DJ Disco Wiz. The historic B-boys, “Rock
Steady Crew” were all but one Puerto Rican, while the first bilingual rappers to
combine English and Spanish in their lyrics were The Mean Machine, who
recorded their first song under the “Disco” label. Dreams” in 1981, although the
first great Latin artist corresponds to the Chicano Kid Frost, from Los Angeles.
Next, one of the most notable groups in history would break out, Cypress Hill,
which was formed in 1988 in the Los Angeles suburb of Southgate when Senen
Reyes (born in Havana) and his little brother Ulpiano Sergio (Mellow Man Ace)
They moved from Cuba to Southgate with their family in 1971. They formed the
group DVX with the Italian-American from Queens, (New York), named
Lawrence Muggerud (DJ Muggs) and Louis Freese (B-Real), a Mexican-Cuban
native of Los Angeles. After “Ace” left to begin his solo career, the group
adopted the name Cypress Hill after the streets that ran through their South Los
Angeles neighborhood. They achieved enormous success with their 1993
“Insane in the Brain,” a success that earned them participation in the alternative
festival Lolapalooza and the musical admiration of people as diverse as Sonic
Youth and Portishead. Cypress Hill paved the way for the success of
Funkdoobiest's “Hip Hop Vato” and liqueur something through poetry.
The 90's
In this decade, Gangsta Rap became a phenomenon, beginning in 1992 with
the publication of Dr. Dre's The Chronic. This album established a style called G
Funk, which would soon dominate the West Coast. As the decade passed,
Atlanta-based record labels, St. Louis or New Orleans gained local fame. One
of the most prominent Hip hop producers was DJ Premier of the duo Gang
Starr. At the end of the 90s, especially with Eminem's rise to stardom, Hip hop
was an integral part of popular music, his music reached everyone, regardless
of race or culture. Soon, Pop music added touches and components of Hip hop,
given its success.
In the middle of the decade, the group The Fugees rose to fame with their
second album “The Score”, a multi-platinum album that won 2 Grammy Awards.
It was made up of rappers Wyclef Jean, Pras Michel and Lauryn Hill, the latter
ultimately having great success in her solo career. Their mixes with soul and
Caribbean music, in addition to their Haitian ancestry, were the main ingredient
in the group's success. “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, a song that sampled
the Roberta Flack song.
Another group that caused a great impact was Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, placing
their single “The Crossroads” at the top of the singles charts for several weeks.
Throughout the decade and in 2000, various elements of Hip hop were
assimilated into other genres, such as neo soul, for example, which combines
Hip hop and Soul. Meanwhile, in the Dominican Republic, Santi Y Sus Duendes
and Lisa M signed the first single from MerenRap, a fusion, as its name
suggests, of Merengue and Rap. But the real exploiters of the subgenre were
Project 1 and Sandy & Papo.
In Europe, Africa and Asia, Hip hop went from the Underground scene to the
Mainstream phenomenon, reaching the ears of the whole world.
The rise of the “west coast” and the

renaissance of the east
After N.W.A. disbanded, Dr. Dre (a member of the group) published one of the
biggest hits in the history of the genre, The Chronic (1992), managing to climb
to the top of the charts thanks to an anthem like “Nuthin' But a ‘G’ Thang.” The
Chronic redirected the west coast towards a new direction, in which he found
influences from artists of George Clinton's P Funk sound, uniting the
psychedelic funk beats with calm and calm rapping, letting himself go, thus
renaming the style G funk. , and dominating the market for many years thanks
to the staff of the record label Death Row Records, directed by Suge Knight and
which featured artists such as Snoop Doggy Dogg, (whose Doggystyle
triumphed, “What's My Name” and “Gin and Juice”, were the main hits), 2Pac,
Dr. Dre, Warren G or Nate Dogg. Dogg Pound, a duo composed of Kurupt and
Daz Dillinger, also had their success, although less than their Death Row
colleagues, with the 1995 album Dogg Food. 2Pac entered history in 1996 with
the release of Rap's first double-album, All Eyez On Me, which achieved
diamond album status (more than 10 million copies sold).
Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, former members of NWA, triumphed with their solo
careers, the latter having real battles with Eazy-E until the day he died from
AIDS. In the middle of the decade, rapper Coolio had great success with his
single “Gangsta's Paradise,” although his albums subsequently dropped
significantly in terms of quality and sales. Other artists such as E-40, Mack 10,
Too Short or Luniz had less success.
The truth is that, although the West Coast eclipsed those from New York, some
of the East Coast rappers also managed to make it big. Firstly, more
Underground artists and groups such as Black Moon, Onyx, Big L, Jeru The
Damaja, Group Home and Mobb Deep made a place for themselves in the
world of Hip hop with the releases of their albums. New York came to dominate
in terms of sales thanks to the emergence of Puff Daddy (No Way Out), Mase
(Harlem World) and other Bad Boy Records artists, despite the scathing
criticism they received for being more of an artist. of Pop, posing as rappers,
despite the Underground past of, for example, Mase. Although none of them
achieved the fame and success that Notorious BIG achieved, Puff Daddy's
protégé, who released an East Coast Hip Hop classic, Ready To Die, in 1994.
However, New York also provided quality, and rappers emerged who paved the
way for recognition without having to sell too much. Some of the cases that best
reflected this were Nas (Illmatic), Jay-Z (Reasonable Doubt), Busta Rhymes
(The Coming) or Wu-Tang Clan (Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)).
Regarding this group, their solo artists also had truly notable careers, such as
Method Man, Ghostface Killa, Raekwon or Ol' Dirty Bastard.
The resurgence of New York grew in size every day, and they began to gain
success that, consequently, affected the other coast, the west. This
confrontation led to an inevitable rivalry between the two most important record
labels of the moment: Death Row Records vs. Bad Boy Records. The rivalry in
terms of sales quickly reached the personal level, through music. Unfortunately,
this story wrote a tragic ending with the murders of Tupac Shakur (1996) and
Notorious B.I.G. (1997), 'leaders' of the West Coast and the East Coast
respectively.
The 2000s
Starting in 2000, the name that broke out with the greatest force in the entire
world was that of Eminem, who, with The Marshall Mathers LP, sold nine million
copies in the United States alone. In addition, he won an Oscar for “Best Song”
for his single “Lose Yourself” from the soundtrack of the film 8 Mile. In 1999 he
collaborated very actively on Dr. Dre's long-awaited 2001 album, in which the
single “Forgot About Dre” was very successful. Another who reached no less
spectacular figures was Nelly, who in her debut with Country Grammar reached
six million copies. While two women led the scene that year, Missy
“Misdemeanor” Elliott with her third album Miss E… so Addictive with a mix of
rap, pop and dance reached the top places in the country, managing to sell
nearly 3 million albums. On the other hand, a new rapper, Trina originally from
Miami, who with the release of her first album Da Baddest Bitch reached the top
of the charts, selling around 2 million worldwide, although she in a Gangsta Rap
style mixed with the already known Sourthern Rap.
On May 16, 2001 in New York, KRS One, Chuck D, Lauryn Hill, Russell
Simmons, Afrika Bambaataa, Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mother), Doug E. Fresh,
Queen Latifah, Dr. Dre, MC Lyte, Voletta Wallace (mother of Biggie Smalls) and
300 other Hip hop delegates presented the “Hip Hop Declaration of Peace” to
the UN.
The statement begins with these words:
“”This Declaration of Peace guides Hip Hop culture from violence to freedom,
and establishes advice and protection for the existence and development of the
international Hip Hop community. Through the principles of this Hip hop Peace
Declaration we, Hip hop culture, establish a foundation of health, love,
consciousness, wealth, peace and prosperity for all of us, our children and our
children's children, eternally. For the clarification of the meaning and purpose of
Hip hop, or when the intention of Hip hop is questioned, or when disputes arise
between parties concerning Hip hop; All Hip Hop fans will have access to the
advice of this document, the Hip Hop Peace Declaration, for guidance, counsel
and protection.
Its first principle defines Hip Hop as a term describing an independent collective
consciousness.
The year 2001 was also marked by continued disputes between Nas and Jay-Z,
constantly taking offense on their albums Stillmatic and The Blueprint
respectively. At the time, they were two of the most successful rappers.
In the years to come, another emerging talent “made in Dr. Dre” nicknamed 50
Cent took over the entire Hip hop scene, spanning an entire world, as his 11
million records sold (from Get Rich or Die Tryin') reflects. One of his mentors,
Jam Master Jay, was murdered in 2002. In this decade a trend emerged with
more R&B-oriented touches. Apart from these, rappers like Ja Rule, DMX,
Ludacris, Fabolous or The Game also dominated the sales charts in the
country, but without any impacting as much as 50 Cent did. Another 'bombshell'
was that of producer Kanye West, making an impact with his highly acclaimed
debut The College Dropout in 2004 and revitalizing the careers of Twista and
Common with his magnificent productions. The Underground also rubbed
shoulders moderately with these, thanks to renowned artists such as The
Roots, Dilated Peoples, Mos Def and Talib Kweli. The most sought-after
producer currently is the popular The Alchemist, who was once a disciple of DJ
Muggs himself from the group Cypress Hill.
In 2006, and despite his retirement announcements years before, Jay-Z

returned to the Rap scene with his new album Kingdome Come, placing his
album at the top of the charts once again. That same year, Jay-Z and Nas
finally made peace, leaving behind their constant, successful and controversial
problems. Artists like Lupe Fiasco and Papoose, originally focused on mixtapes,
began to be seen in the mainstream scene.
CONCLUSION
 Hip-hop culture is having a great influence on young people today.

 There are many who came from the bottom, becoming what they are
today. They are very grateful for all the opportunities that have been
presented to them in life and, much more grateful for their musical
careers.
 Today it is a great source of expression worldwide, for people of various
ages and ethnicities.
