Rap is a kind of music
HIPHOP is a kind of culture, which contains many things. Here is a brief introduction:
The meaning of the word hip hop:
Literally, Hip means hip, and Hop means jumping; In fact, it is a general term for life culture.
Cultural origin:
Hip-hop culture is a slum in new york, Harlem in the 1970s, which is Brooklyn where some poor blacks and South Americans live. Because of the lack of material life, they are poor and have nothing to do every day, so most of them wander in the street. Some people play basketball, some people will solo with music in the street, some people vent their emotions by spraying pictures, doodling and improvising, and then play hip-hop. It is a spirit that goes deep into life and culture, and it integrates black language, music, dance, lifestyle and so on. This is enough to form the whole picture of hip-hop.
Hip-hop contains four elements:
1.DJ: In the party, rappers perform rap with a very rhythmic rhythm]
2.b-boy [break dancer],
3. Graffiti,
4. There are cool black curls, costumes and so on.
HIP HOP's music mainly includes the following:
House:
It contains many different changes, mainly stress, fast and strong rhythm, which makes dancers feel full of pleasure.
House's golden age appeared in the middle and late 1980s (until today, House is still one of the most important mainstream dance music). In addition to frankie knuckles, Ron Hardy, Larry Hurd, Robert Owens and Steve Hurley were all famous house musicians in the middle and late 1980s, and the latter successfully introduced the means of making house dance music to the public. "At that time, people all over Chicago were busy making family dance music." From 65438 to 0987, House had moved from the underground ballroom in Chicago to new york and the other side of the Atlantic. In Britain, the avant-garde electronic band M/A/R/R/S from 4AD made it to the charts with the house genre "Pump Up Volume", and occupied the number 1 for three weeks in a row.
House's longevity should be attributed to its 4/4 beat structure, which provides a solid overall structure and rich imagination space for the future evolution of dance music. Of course, British electronic musicians and German Trance musicians also contributed.
Beat:
Originated in the late 1980s, it is characterized by careless mixing effect, a lot of music changes, fashionable rhythm and fast singing.
"MC" or hip-hop rap:
Rap is also called monologue and rap. It rhymes, is light, has a sense of music, and has an interesting rap (just like the number of white olives in China). ) becomes Hip-Hop Raps, which is a kind of rap. With the popularity of Hip-Hop, recent rap tends to be Hip-Hop style.
It is really difficult to find an exact translation for MC. Literal explanation-"Celebration host"-is far from conveying the role played by a real MC. In fact, MC is a rapper standing on the stage, a naysayer, and the person who can drive the atmosphere most.
