THE HISTORY OF HIP HOP CULTURE


Many of us believe that hip hop is a music genre, but unfortunately we are wrong. Hip hop is more of a dance technique cum repeated singing along method. The genre of Rap music is sometimes confused with Hip Hop. The Hip Hop history is considered very old and originates from Jamaican island. In Jamaica, there is a tradition of making toasts in dinners or get together.


On a very same Jamaican night, a DJ named Kool Herc, was playing music, when he started to use different lines along the songs. With that he also started using two records on different turntables and started to control them manually with his hands and thus the lines of the songs starts repeating. That became a regular thing, where DJs would begin a song on two different records and then start repeat the songs, and it became a huge success as this way of music play is really appreciated by fans of all kinds of music lover, because Hip Hop is more of a culture than music.
