American hip-hop
American hip-hop is a cultural movement that began in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York City. It encompasses four main elements: rapping, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti art. Hip-hop music often features rhythmic vocal style and beats, reflecting social issues, personal experiences, and cultural identity.
Over the decades, hip-hop has evolved into a global phenomenon, influencing various music genres and fashion trends. Prominent artists like Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z have shaped the genre, while hip-hop festivals and events celebrate its rich history and ongoing impact on society.
