Hiphop Music

Hip hop music is an American Musical Genre that developed as part of hiphop culture, and is defined by four key stylistic elements: rapping,Djing/scratching,sampling (or synthesis), and beatboxing. Hip hop began in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s. The term rap is often used synonmously with hip hop, but hip hop also denotes the practices of an entire subculture.
Rapping, also referred to as Mcing or emceeing, is a vocal style in which the artist speaks lyrically, in rhyme and verse, generally to an instrumental or synthesized Beat. Beats, almost always in 4/4 Time Signature , can be created by sampling and/or sequencing portions of other songs by a producer They also incorporate synthesizers, drum machines, and live bands. Rappers may write, memorize, or improvise Their Lyrics and perform their works  a capebellaor to a beat.

Creation of the term hip hop is often credited to Keith Cowboy,rapper with Grand Flash and the Furious FiveHowever, Loveberg Starsky Keith Cowboy, and DJ Hollywoodused the term when the music was still known as disco rap. It is believed that Cowboy created the term while teasing a friend who had just joined the U.S. Army, by scats singing the words "hip/hop/hip/hop" in a way that mimicked the rhytamic cadence of marching soldiers. Cowboy later worked the "hip hop" cadence into a part of his stage performance, which was quickly used by other artists such as  The Sugarhill gang in Rapper".
founder Africa Bambatta is credited with first using the term to describe the subculture in which the music belonged; although it is also suggested that it was a derogatory term to describe the type of music. The first use of the term in print was in The Village Voice by Steven Hager.
