Hip-Hop is a musical expression that started within African American and Latin American Communities. The phenomenon later spread to include many different cultures. Hip-Hop can be broken down into four parts: MC-ing, DJ-ing, Dancing, and Graffiti Arts. MC-ing can be described as a way the speaker voices poetic rhymes to a beat. This beat may consist of a lot of musical instruments and sounds, which is now widely accepted as “rapping.” A Hip-Hop DJ is someone who makes beats or puts two or more songs together, or a combination there of, to form a unique mix. Hip-Hop dancing has many forms from Turfing to B-boying. Graffiti includes writing or drawing that was originally sprayed on walls or public places to express someone’s name or dream to anybody who looked at it.
