Hip-Hop

The Hip-Hop movement appeared in New-York City in the 1970s.This new culture started in African-American communities in the form of artistic culture and musical expression.
According to DJ Afrika Bambaataa there are four pillars for the Hip-Hop :

1- MCing which is basically rapping.
2- DJing
3- Breaking is the dance style
4- Graffiti is the visual expression on walls

A 5th pillar can be added to this list the Beatboxing where the artist creates beats and rythm with his mouth.

Language : Hip Hop developped a complex language with his own slang yo ! Dis was created to reject the "white english" language which was an educated speech.

Clothing : People in the Hip Hop movement wear generally joggings or baggys, with sneakers or big Caterpillar shoes and a very large T-shirt. Accessories can be added like a cap or heavy chains in gold and jewelries.

The Hip Hop movement is a pacific culture.Its first goal was to reduce violence between gangs, creating battles through songs or dancing, pushing people to be creative and give the best of themselves through songs dances and graffitis.
