The hip hop genre was born in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York. What started as a small, underground movement has since evolved into one of the most popular music genres in the world. The hip hop movement was about more than just music, it was a cultural movement that gave a voice to the voiceless. It was born out of the afrobeat, funk, and disco music that was popular in the 70s and was used by DJs to create new sounds and rhythms.
What made hip hop music so unique was that it was created using a turntable and a microphone, both of which were relatively inexpensive. This made it possible for anyone to become a DJ or an MC. The hip hop movement was born in the streets of the Bronx and was a way for African American and Latino youth to express themselves. The first hip hop parties were block parties thrown by DJs in the Bronx. These parties were a way for the community to come together, dance, and have a good time.
As the hip hop movement grew, so did its influence. What started in the Bronx quickly spread to other boroughs in New York City and then to other cities across the United States. Each city put its own spin on the genre, which is why today there are so many sub-genres of hip hop music. From the g-funk sound of west coast hip hop to the chopped and screwed sound of southern hip hop, the hip hop genre is as diverse as the artists who create it.
Today, hip hop music is a global phenomenon. What started in the streets of the Bronx has since spread to every corner of the globe. It is the most streamed genre of music and has produced some of the world’s most influential and successful artists.
