THE HIP HOP.


Hip-hop is an art movement that emerged in the United States in the late 1960s in Latin American and African American communities of New York neighborhoods like the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn, where from the beginning stood out the typical characteristics of the origins of hip hop, For example, the music (funk, rap, blues, DJing), dance (hustle, uprocking, lindy hop, popping, locking) and painting (spray, bombing, murals, Political graffiti).

Afrika Bambaataa coined the term hip hop at the time, even years later, KRS ONE, a native of the Bronx, wanted to unify four elements of hip hop: the MCing (rapping), DJing (turntablism), breakdancing (bboying) and graffiti. He did this with the idea of simplifying the definition of hip hop, but for many this may be incomplete, as there other events that would be exempted from this classification, as the beatbox, the murals, beatmakin or production of background music ('beats '), the popping, locking on the uprocking etc. and even other events not related to music, like streetball (street basketball) or Skateboarding.
The union of two elements, the MC (Master of ceremony) and DJ (Disc Jockey), form the musical style of hip hop: rap.
The dance bboying is popularly known as breakdancing. The person who performed this dance is called bboy, Bgirl (fly girl). There is a glaring difference between a bboy and a breaker, the first dances merely cultural issues and provide new elements, innovating and leading the difficulty level to new heights. The breaker or breakdancero people who danced only by profit-making or fashion, is not aware of hip-hop movement generally speaking, not knowing the history and fundamentals that a bboy should know. Although some bboys include full-time work or on TV advertising, but this is justified by the great advances that have given the culture, not only giving exhibitions for people but contribute to creating new styles.
The graffiti is the artistic branch (pictorial) of this culture applied to urban areas. The aesthetics of graffiti has influenced the comic (as in the strips of The Boondocks) and clothing design, album covers and other objects. Those who practice this facet are called writers (writers). There are other styles of graffiti that they need not form part of graffiti in hip hop culture. They are: radical & Political graffiti, street art & graffiti post (ie, graffiti policy) and computer-generated
