Hip Hop Culture !

Hip-hop is a cultural, musical and artistic movement emerged in the United States in New York in the South Bronx in the early 1970. Originally black and Latino ghettos of New York, it will spread rapidly throughout the country and the world to the point of becoming a major urban culture. Hip hop culture knows several disciplines: rap (or MCing), DJing, break dancing (b-boying or), graffiti, beatboxing. These disciplines, appeared before hip hop, will be integrated at the birth of the movement. It is nevertheless a musical expression that is the best known and, therefore, often reduced to the latter. 

This musical expression itself is often called whole rap, which is also a shortcut to the extent that this term applies only to speech, punctuated staccato, clean the MCing. Hip hop music can indeed take many forms, and even limit themselves to beats of the DJ (disc jockey), in which case the term rap is not appropriate. The term rap, much less the term hip hop, can not be applied to the slam. The slam of unrelated or indirectly with the hip hop.
