Welcome to my Hip- Hop page. Hip- hop music has alot of stylistic elements such as rapping, DJing, sampling, scratching, and beatboxing. It began in the 1970's in South Bronx New York.

Questions : 1. How does hip-hop have a effect on how people interact with each other? 2. Do hip- hop artists try to make their songs have meaning or are they just making music? 3. What kind of edicuational background do hip-hop artists have?

Not Afraid.mp3" width="240" height="20" Eminem - Not Afraid This song has to do alot with African American music because Eminem is one of the only white hip hop / rap stars. This song has a good beat and up tempo pace. It has call and response in it which relates it alot to African American Music.

It was really popular in the 70's for the fact that it was still when blues and jazz were really popular. Hip- Hop was just starting so it wasnt that popular.
