Hip hop is a form of musical expression and artistic culture that originated in African-American and Latino communities during the 1970s in New York City, specifically the Bronx. DJ Afrika Bambaataa outlined the four pillars of hip hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking and graffiti writing. Other elements include beat boxing.
Since its emergence in the South Bronx, hip hop culture has spread around the world. Hip hop music first emerged with disc jockeys creating rhythmic beats by looping breaks (small portions of songs emphasizing a percussive pattern) on two turntables, more commonly referred to as sampling.
This was later accompanied by "rap", a rhythmic style of chanting or
poetry presented in 16 bar measures or time frames, and beat boxing, a
vocal technique mainly used to imitate percussive elements of the music
and various technical effects of hip hop DJ's. An original form of
dancing and particular styles of dress arose among fans of this new
music. These elements experienced considerable refinement and
development over the course of the history of the culture.
The relationship between graffiti and hip hop culture arises from the
appearance of new and increasingly elaborate and pervasive forms of the
practice in areas where other elements of hip hop were evolving as art
forms, with a heavy overlap between those who wrote graffiti and those
who practiced other elements of the culture. Today, graffiti remains
part of hip hop, while crossing into the mainstream art world with
renowned exhibits in galleries throughout the world.
