Q

What do you know about hip hop?

A

The term Hip Hop refers to American urban black culture featuring Dj’ing, graffiti art, breakdancing, MCing and rap. Hip-hop originated in the Bronx area of New York in
the 1970’s. Its vocal origins lie in the Jamaican ‘toasting tradition.’ Toasting is a cross between talking and rhythmic chanting which was originally practiced by Jamaican
MC’s.

African American DJs such as Grandmaster Flash and Jamaican born ‘father of hip-hop’ DJ Kool Herc, extended instrumental sections (breaks) from records. The DJ’s or MC’s rapped over the top of these breaks.
