The Hip hop Story
Many people enjoy hip hop but only a small number of those fans know how hip hop originated or where it came from. Rap has been around for a while now and it’s safe to say that it has changed since the early days. If you sit back and really look at it, you can actually see how the changes happened and how they changed hip hop. While rap is different now, it still has a lot of characteristics from back in the day.
Some people still argue about the real roots of hip hop but most agree with one location. I would say this uncertainty is due to the fact that you really can’t be sure where people started rapping. People could have already been rapping with friends before anyone else but no one ever found out. It’s a little complicated but this is the way I see it. Alright, well here’s a little history about rap and how it came to be.

the beginning
Hip hop originated in African-American communities during the late 1970′s in New York City. DJ Clive “Kool Herc” Campbell is credited as being highly influential in the early stage of hip hop. He created the blue print for hip hop by taking ideas from the Jamaican tradition of poetry and speech over music. Many believe hip hop was born in the historic building in 1520 Sedwick Avenue, Bronx, New York. This is where DJ Kool Herc and other DJs would perfom.
He also developed “break beat deejaying” where the breaks of funk songs were repeated and isolated to be used and go with all-night dance parties. Herc would make announcements to dancers which would lead to rhyme spoken accompaniment now known as rapping. This formed the basis of hip hop music.
Rap developed as a result of Herc and other DJs throwing street parties in the Bronx neighborhoods of New York. Emceeing originated from “MCs” that would talk over the music to promote their DJ, promote other parties, or talk about their problems and other things.
