Hip-Hop:
The word Hip-Hop, which translates to hip-hop in Chinese, was born in 1974 in New York, USA, and was invented by the famous DJ and MC Love Bug Starski. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a series of black cultural art forms emerged in the East Coast cities of the United States, led by New York, which include: graffiti (Graffiti or Writing), bebop or breakdancing (B-Boying), disc jockeying (DJing or Deejay, DJ refers to Disk Jockey, meaning disc jockey, that is, the person who harnesses the record), rap (DJ), and music. records), rap (MCing or Emcee, MC is Master of Ceremony, meaning Master of Ceremony).
The word hip-hop was originally used by Love Bug Stalsky to rhyme with the word "hip," which means "ass," and "hop," which means "bouncing," which together can be interpreted as bouncing ass. Bambaataa, the "godfather" of hip-hop, borrowed the term hip-hop to collectively refer to the black urban cultural movement represented by the above four forms of culture, which was soon widely accepted, and the above four cultures became what we usually refer to as the four elements of hip-hop.
Hip-Hop translates as hip-hop, and RAP translates as rap, which are different concepts; Hip-Hop is not actually a musical term but a cultural term that includes four parts: rap, graffiti, street dance, and DJ beatboxing; RAP originated in the '60s, and Hip-Hop as a musical understanding originated in the '70s; Hip-Hop as a musical understanding originated in the '70s, and RAP as a musical understanding originated in the '70s. -Hop, on the other hand, originated in the early '70s, and its predecessor was RAP (sometimes with a little R(B).
Hip-Hop literally means Hip is Hip and Hop is hopping on one foot, which together add up to a light twisting and swinging of the hips, and originally referred to street dance in its infancy stage (what we used to call breakdancing), before it evolved into a huge concept - what we Hip-hop culture now includes baggy clothes, heavy gold jewelry, and the habit of saying "YoYo? what's up?" -In short, it's about the way black people live in America's ghetto neighborhoods and what they're like.
There are many styles of dance, including Popping, Locking, Electric, Turbo and House. None of them require as much skill as Breaking, but they require more coordination and sense of movement, as well as flexibility and control of the dancer's body. Good Hip-Hop Dancers also need hard practice. Because Hip-Hop Dance is not as skillful as Breaking and lacks competition, it was not given enough attention by street dance enthusiasts before, but now with the enhancement of the concept of dance, this situation has changed, and even B-Boys have started practicing and many all-around good street dancers have appeared.
