The elements of hiphop

As we all know music is probably the largest aspect of the hiphop culture, but what other elemental aspects are there besides music? There are about 4 different elements to the hiphop culture, which consist of: music, dancing, street art, and the dress /talk. The most widely known of these elements music is the classic hiphop music, but breaks down into smaller elements of rap, which is a huge influencer to the culture probably more then anything else. The second biggest element is the dance aspect; there are many different types of dances that coincide with hiphop such as: popping, locking, breaking, freestlye, and a couple others. The next element of hiphop which is also the oldest is street art, more commonly reffered to as graffiti. This is by far the oldest element of hiphop, and the hiphop culture actually evolved from this single element, which I will discuss further in a later post. The last element and probably the most distinct is the dress, and language that exists within hiphop culture. The people that really tie themselves to the hiphop culture even talk a certain way thry pick up a very distinct sortof language. Understanding all of these elements is key to understanding this type of culture; so if you are really interested in it brush up on these subjects.
