** Hip-Hop History: ** Hip-Hop is a musical genre, which developed as part of hip-hop culture, and is defined by key stylistic elements such as Rapping, DJing, sampling, scratching and beat boxing. Hip-hop began in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s. The term rap is often used synonymously with hip-hop, but hip-hop denotes the practices of an entire subculture. Hip-hop music was influenced by disco and a backlash against it. The roots of hip-hop are found in African-American music and African music. The griots of West Africa are a group of traveling singers and poets who are part of an oral tradition dating back hundreds of years. Their vocal style is similar to rappers. The word hip-hop was created by Keith Cowboy he is a rapper.
