Hip hop is a very bias topic. People have different opinions on it based on how they look at it. [2] Hip hop is not only a dance form. It is an art and a style of music. It is a way to express yourself through movement. Hip hop came from street dancing and is even used today as a dance form that is based off of street.[3] If you look at hip hop now, you can see that there are newer types of music also involved with it. This type of music is usually referred to as "rap" music. This is what most people look at as bad or unhealthy for kids today. This is the type of music that is enjoyed more by teens and not enjoyed by parents because of the language that is used and the unhealthy information that is said. It is understandable why people may believe that this is bad, but there are many benefits to this type of music.[4]
Origin of Hip Hop
[edit]Hip Hop originally started in the 1950's and 60's. It began as an art movement in the Bronx. It was created by many Latinos and and African Americans who were faced with many economic disadvantages in their lives. Out of this style of hip hop, old school hip hop had formed. This was created by the first major hip hop DJ named DJ Kool Herc. He made rapping and hip hop correlate. After this came Hip Hop in the 80's. This is the Hip Hop that most people look to today. This was created or founded by: Run-D.M.C, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy. [5]
Hip Hop Today
[edit]Many people today are affected by the genre of Hip Hop, but it is not really liked by people who are more old school because of the explicit language and inappropriate activities it involves.[6]
