What Is Hip Hop Music?

Drake, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg. All of these musicians have at least one thing in common: they are all considered hip hop musicians. Hip hop has infiltrated the pop music scene in the past few decades. Hip hop, or rap, is characterized by words that are conveyed in a rapid and rhyming manner over electronic or instrumental music. Hip hop is marked as music of the African-American culture, although today it continues to flourish and grow in popularity among a variety of ethnic groups.

More Than Just Rappers

The outward impression of the hip hop subculture may often involve the black youth, or young black adults, who tend to rebel against authority, graffiti walls, breakdance, beatbox (which is imitating a drum with sounds of the mouth), and rap lyrics to prerecorded electronic tracks in the streets. Although some of these may be true stereotypes, there is a deeper, more meaningful side to the hip hop subculture as well.

Those who are part of the hip hop subculture feel that hip hop conveys a voice or message about the feelings and the never-ending struggles and the slow-evolving successes of black urban youth in America. The subculture's four main defining activities are disc-jockeying (DJing), breakdancing, graffiti art, and rapping. Even though much of early hip hop centered around money struggles, crime, drugs, and family trials and tribulations in the inner-city, many modern-day hip hop artists rap about success, happiness, love, marriage, and so forth.

History of the Hip Hop Subculture

The birthplace of hip hop music was in the crime-ridden, poor neighborhoods of the Bronx, NY, in the early 1970s. Block parties were becoming ever popular during this time. For entertainment, the black youth started DJing and rapping with prerecorded electronic and instrumental beats. Breakdancing became popular at these parties, as well as in the inner-city club scene.

Soon, rapping spread across the country to Los Angeles, CA. In the 1980s, the hip hop subculture spread throughout the entire world with the help of music media such as MTV, or Music Television, and BET, or Black Entertainment Television. Now hip hop is known as one of the most powerful and successful music genres of the 20th century.

Here are a few more interesting historical facts about the hip hop subculture:

In 1979, The Sugarhill Gang produced a song called, 'Rappers Delight,' which is known as the first hip hop song to break into mainstream music.

Some call DJ Kool Herc, who was an immigrant from Jamaica, the godfather of hip hop music. He introduced a musical technique commonly used in Jamaican music of isolating the percussion in popular songs. This is now an identifying characteristic of rap and hip hop music.

Keith Cowboy, of the group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, is credited with coining the term hip hop. It has been said that he first used the words to lovingly poke fun at a friend who was going into the Army. He was trying to mimic the marching beat of the army and sang, 'hip hop hip hop' with it. The audience liked it. The phrase was repeated to the point where it caught on.
