Hip hop is not limited to music.
There are 4 main elements of hiphop.
- oral element  (MC-ing (master of ceremonies) and Rap)
- dance element (b-boying - break dancing)
- musical element (DJ-ing)
- visual element (aerosol arts - graffiti)
The Hipppitii-Hop movement emerged in the 1970s, in the demolished the bronx district of New York. 60,000 people (mainly African American and Latino) were relocated because their homes were torn down because they were labeled as 'slums'. Hip hop became a refuge and a source of identity for the people who had become refugees in their hometown.
Neighbourhood parties were held where a dj would bring the music and the b-boys would be dancing.
- dj kool was a pioneer in the dj-ing field and made some wild beats, he is considered one of the founding fathers of hiphop, along with Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambataa
At first the DJ was also the rapper but later the MC and the DJ's roles were seperated.
- Sugar hill's rappers delight (1979) was iconic. It's considered the first rap record, and it was recorded all in one take which is pretty impressive since its around 15 minutes long.

A crucial record company was funded in '79 by husband and wife, Joe and Sylvia Robinson, as they released important singles for the early hip hop
but it wasn't till '84 that the record company Def Jam records, founded by Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons, released the hit single "I Need A Beat" (1984) that Golden Age of Hip Hop came through.
The Beastie Boys paved the way for white rappers in 1986, when they released their debut album, which was a mix of Hip Hop and Rock.
The Golden Age really took off from there on forward, as rap- and Hip Hop songs were quite popular and made it to the Top Five Pop Singles.

The female hip hop group Salt-N-Pepa rapped about women’s condition.

The golden age of hip hop was not only characterized by the increased visibility but also an artistic quality and stylistic diversity.

In the ghettos, violent conflicts between the black gangs were a huge problem. The new genre Gangsta Rap chronicled the tough life of the gangsters.

Especially N.W.A’s music became popular, and its key member, Dr. Dre’s influence continued while rap moved into the mainstream period.
