What is hip hop? Everyone wants to be a

part of hip hop or rap. Hip hop is a style

of music, art, history, clothing trend, and

a part of culture. It has became very popular

since it was first created because there’s

not only African American rappers and

also even more groups.

 

Hip hop’s definition is a style of popular

music of US black and Hispanic origin,

featuring rap what electronic backing.

Hip hop was created on the poorest side

of New York City that not only produced

music, but also it produced break dancing

and graffiti. The DJs would make beats and

people would try to rhyme to them which

created rapping.

 

Hip hop is evolving more and more each

day. Hip hop was created by the African

American race, but it has evolved to where

everyone is a part of it.

 

Some people believe that hip hop belong

to African Americans because they were

the first to create hip hop. Some people

also believe that only black people can

rap, but they are all wrong. Hip hop

does not belong to any race or gender, the

only part of hip hop that belongs to the African

American race is culture, so anyone can

rap or dance and be a part of hip hop.

Anyone can rap, dance, or listen to that kind

of music because it hip hop itself belongs

to no one.

 

The culture of hip hop is just the way of

life. Hip hop’s culture is the not

only that but the way some people speak,

dress, and the things they do in everyday life.

Afrika Bambaataa’s definition of hip hop is

the way of life like the way a person speaks,

walk, and act, but the music is colorless.

Afrika Bambaataa is known for the “Godfather”

of hip hop so what he thinks of hip hop is

very important. Hip hop’s culture is just

everyday life.

 

Almost everyone is a part of the hip hop

culture. Almost everyone is a part of that

Culture because they listen to hip hop

music, they dress hip hop, or they grew

up in the hip hop culture. Just because

some people aren’t African American or

don’t rap because just listening to hip hop

music and listening everyday makes anyone

a part of the hip hop culture.

 

Some people grew up in the hip hop culture.

Many people grew up listening to hip hop

music, looked or dressed like hip hop, and

much more. Hip hop’s culture is just everyday

life or everyday living. Most people that grew

up in hip hop maybe lived in

 

In music culture today, the color of a

performer’s or artist’s skin does not

determine their success in the hip hop

industry. Some are Eminem, Iggy Azalea,

Yelawolf, Lil Dicky, G-Eazy, and

Macklemore. Anyone can be successful in

the music industry.

 

Hip hop has changed but has stayed the

same overtime. People then and now are

rapping about money, drugs, and a female

in a bad way or male in a bad way. It has

also stayed the same because there are

groups like before. Some groups from the

past were TLC, N.W.A., Run-D.M.C., and

Beastie Boys. Some groups now are A$AP

Mob, Rae Sremmurd, OVO, MMG, and

G.O.O.D. Music. Most groups are very

popular and others are trying to work

themselves up. People in most groups aren’t

good rappers and they are African American,

so the color of skin has nothing to do with

rapping skills.

 

Some women are underestimated in the

hip hop music industry just because they

are women. A woman can do just about

anything a man can do. People think that

women can’t do a “man’s job” which are

plumber, mechanic, truck driver, rapping,

and much more. Women can do almost

everything a man can do. Just because

they’re a woman doesn’t mean that they

can’t rap or anything.

 

Anyone can rap that has the skills and know

what is they are talking about. Rapping

doesn’t require a gender or race or even age.

there are even young rappers that are even

more successful than some older rappers.

Young children and adults can be just as

successful as the adult rappers that rap.

Just because they’re young and wants to

rap doesn’t mean they can’t be successful

because it doesn’t matter what the age of

someone who wants to rap.

 

No race or gender or age belongs to hip hop.

Anyone can rap, dance, or listen to

hip hop because hip hop is a part of

culture, art, music, history, and

clothing trend.
