Hip-Hop/Rap

Hip hop, also known as rap, is a genre of popular music that originated in the early 1970s within the African American community, with significant contributions from Latinos and Caribbean immigrants. It combines rhythmic music, often built around drum beats, with rapping, a rhythmic delivery of poetic speech. Hip hop is part of a broader culture encompassing MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching, breakdancing, and graffiti art. While often used to refer to rap music, hip hop more broadly includes DJing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks. Originating in New York City, hip hop's rhythmic beat patterns and spoken delivery distinguish it from other genres.
