Hip hop

Hip Hop appeared in New York city in the streets of Harlem and Bronx. In 1973 New York was declared insolvent city. The quarter of South Bronx was very poor and violent. Nobody had job or paid a rent for living. Several house owners put fire in their buildings to receive the money of insurance. The people still lived there and loved to make parties. In one of these parties “hip hop” was born.
The Hip Hop is a culture composed by the following elements: the rap, the graffiti and the break.
* Rap- the rhythm and poetry, is the verbal music expression of the culture;
* Graffiti – represents the plastic art, expressed by colored drawings made by graffiti artists, in the city streets spread all over the world;
* Break dance – represents the dance
The three elements together make the Hip Hop culture. Many people say that the Hip Hop would be the only way that the people of the suburbs and ghettos use to express their difficulties, and necessities of the excluded classes ....
