This was way more than a way of life for the gangster-inspired neighborhoods and stereotypes back then. It was more of a slowly developing culture was then indicative of the colored people's unrest due to discrimination issues that allegedly took form in police brutality, political speeches and other social patterns believed to be deliberately perpetrated by the whites against their dignity. More than anything, Hip Hop was a way for these communities to express their objections to what they perceived to be the dehumanization of their skin.
As a medium, those who lived this newly evolved culture were using music to convey their message to society. In the early seventies, New York DJ's started playing a different brand of music which gave rise to unconventional dance moves which nevertheless clicked and soon, African-American and Latino rap were born. blogger This revolution of sort had its beginnings in Bronx, Brooklyn and every nearby area where the music jocks explored their creativity and ended up with a characteristically different funky music that was defined by interjections of nonmusical sounds, the most famous of which was scratching. What characterized this evolving genre more were the rhythmic drum breaks that became characteristic of Hip Hop music, giving it more personality and power to soon gain fame among the club-going youth. fashion Indeed, this new cultural craze grew massively and began to be a major force in the world of music. Its catchy beats and rhythms drew such great and enthusiastic crowds each time DJ's were performing. It even got to a point when anybody who wanted a shot at stardom could crank out a Hip Hop beat and almost make it instantly. It was then that this lifestyle started to grow uncontrollably, especially with the introduction of breakdance and graffiti artists who were then the most interesting personalities of that period. gossip In fact, Hip Hop grew so big that it overpowered whatever universal resistance existed between white and colored races in America. As the seventies drew to a close, recording companies run by whites couldn't ignore the enormity of the Hip Hop influence and started producing Hip Hop music in no time.
