Hip hop is
a form of musical expression and artistic subculture that originated in
African-American and Hispanic-Americancommunities during the 1970s in New York
City, specifically the Bronx. DJ Afrika Bambaataa outlined the four pillars of
hip hop culture: MCing, DJing, B-boying and graffiti writing.
Since its
emergence in the South Bronx, hip hop culture has spread to both urban and
suburban communities throughout the world.Hip hop music first emerged with disc
jockeys creating rhythmic beats by looping breaks (small portions of songs
emphasizing a percussive pattern) on two turntables, more commonly referred to
as sampling. This was later accompanied by "rap", a rhythmic style of
chanting or poetry presented in 16 bar measures or time frames, and beatboxing,
a vocal technique mainly used to imitate percussive elements of the music and
various technical effects of hip hop DJ's. An original form of dancing and
particular styles of dress arose among fans of this new music. These elements
experienced considerable refinement and development over the course of the
history of the culture.
The
relationship between graffiti and hip hop culture arises from the appearance of
new and increasingly elaborate and pervasive forms of the practice in areas
where other elements of hip hop were evolving as art forms, with a heavy
overlap between those who wrote graffiti and those who practiced other elements
of the culture. Today, graffiti remains part of hip hop, while crossing into
the mainstream art world with renowned exhibits in galleries throughout the
world
