Hip-hop music, also known as rap music, is a sub-genre of music that grew at the same time as hip-hop culture. This type of music consists of two main parts:
rap (MC) and DJ (mix sound and scratch).
Along with Burke Dance and Graffiti, the four-part subculture of hip-hop is a cultural movement created by urban youth, especially blacks, in New York City in the early 1970s.
Hip-hop music is generally composed of one or more singers.
Rap is composed of biographical-like stories, often related to an imaginary counterpart, in the form of highly rhythmic poems full of techniques such as vowel homogeneity, phonetic homogeneity, and rhyme.
The rapper is accompanied by an instrument, often referred to as a “beat”, played by a DJ, and created by a producer, or one or more musicians.
Most beats are composed using a percussion combination from another song, usually a funk or solo song.
In addition to other drums, the sounds are often combined, electronic, or performing.
Sometimes a piece can be a sign of a DJ or a builder.
Hip hop was formed in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City when DJ Break broke a hit from funk and disco songs.
