Hiphop... What is it culture, creation, or other?


              Hip-hop what is it? You have probably heard the word hip-hop before or even may know something about it, but what is it really? To some its a culture, others an art form, and for some its simply a way of life. Its comprised of many different things such as: art, music, dance, and style. It comes from a mixture of black and Latin culture that has kind of intermixed and mingled over time. The music aspect of it is probably the largest part which is comprised of elements such as: rapping, DJing, and mixing. The art aspect focuses mainly on graffiti which is a style of writing or painting. Dance is probably the second biggest aspect of hip-hop because it goes hand in hand with the music and has many different elements to it. Hip-hop style is something completely in and of itself. It has developed over the decades to be a sort of phenomenon. If you look closely around you you might be able to distinguish some elements to hip-hop so give it a try.
