Hip-Hop is a cultural trend born in 1973 and made its first steps thanks to the DJ Kool Herc, who invented the word "Hip-Hop" to describe his music.
Block parties were the main Hip-Hop events: street parties were afro and latin americans used to challenge singing, playing and dancing. At the same time the "writing" movement was developing, american guys started to see the cities as painting canvas, where they could express themselves. In the 80's and in the 90's this culture became worldwide famous and nowadays it has become a commercial and social trend, revolutionizing the world of music, dance clothing and design. |
