The 1980s marked the diversification of hip hop as the genre developed more complex styles and spread around the world. Old-school hip hop was the first mainstream wave of the genre, marked by its disco influence and party-oriented lyrics. Hip hop music was not officially recorded for play on radio or television until 1979, largely due to poverty during the genre's birth and lack of acceptance outside ghetto neighborhoods. Rapping developed as a vocal style in which the artist speaks or chants along rhythmically with an instrumental or synthesized beat. Turntablist techniques such as scratching and beatmatching developed along with the breaks. Hip hop's early evolution occurred as sampling technology and drum machines became widely available and affordable. At block parties, DJs played percussive breaks of popular songs using two turntables and a DJ mixer to be able to play breaks from two copies of the same record, alternating from one to the other and extending the "break". Hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in New York City, particularly among African American youth residing in the Bronx.
The term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including DJing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks. While often used to refer solely to rapping, "hip hop" more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture. Other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing. It was developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/ scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti art. According to the professor Asante of African American studies at Temple University, "hip hop is something that blacks can unequivocally claim as their own ". Hip hop originated as an anti-drug and anti-violence genre, while consisting of stylized rhythmic music (usually built around drum beats) that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. From lighthearted raps about being misunderstood to political messages to daily accounts of life in New York, these tracks are now regularly sampled on modern tracks and considered true classics.īecause it was so early in the genre's creation, each song or album was breaking a record or innovating the style beyond the last, making it a time of great importance for rappers, hip hop artists, and all musicians to come.Hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that originated in the Bronx borough of New York City in the early 1970s by African Americans, having existed for several years prior to mainstream discovery. Some of the best hip hop songs of all time came from the 80s. The album was on, Escape, ended up being certified platinum by the RIAA, having sold one million albums on release. Their song “Friend” was one of their most successful singles, as it hit #4 on the R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart. This style is a fusion of dance and R&B music. The inclusion of R&B became influential for the foundation of the genre swingbeat. This hip hop group was notable for being an early rap group to include R&B in their music and for their elaborate live performances, which often included breakdancing. “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
