	Hip hop culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hip Hop is a cultural movement that began among Latinos and African American communities in the South Bronx in the late 1970s.
		Hip Hop music, distinguishable by its emphasis on rhythm and frequent inclusion of rapping, arose from the mixing of Jamaican and American music by the immigrant DJ Kool Herc in his block parties which started as early as 1970.
		Graffiti in hip hop began as a way of "tagging" for one's crew/gang, and developed during the 1970s on the subways of New York, and later expanded to the city walls themselves.

	Hip hop
		Hip hop is a cultural movement that began amongst urban (primarily, but not entirely, African American) youth in the United States, but has since spread around the world.
		Hip hop music is related to the griots[?] of West Africa, traveling singers and poets whose musical style is reminiscent of hip hop.
		During the 1980s and 90s, hip hop gradually became mainstream (a transition usually considered to have been completed in 1992) in the US and, to a lesser degree, worldwide.

	Hip hop rivalries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The feud began with Queensbridge-based Marley Marl and MC Shan's track "The Bridge" in late 1985, in which they sung the praises of their home borough and loosely implied that Queensbridge was where hip hop "all got started".
		Hip hop had originated in the streets of New York, and the city remained the undisputed capital of hip hop until the late '80s, when N.W.A. and others put the west on the map.
		Kool Moe Dee was a member of one of the earliest hip hop crews, the Treacherous Three, and claimed that LL Cool J stole his style, thus causing a long-running feud between the pair.

	Hip hop music
		The roots of hip hop are in West African and African-American music.
		Hip hop was popular there at least as far back as 1976 (first record: "Rhythm Talk", by Jocko Henderson in 1979), and the New York Times dubbed Philly the Graffiti Capital of the World in 1971, due to the influence of such legendary graffiti artists as Cornbread.
		Chicago also saw the development of house music (a form of electronic dance music) in the early 1980s and this soon mixed with hip hop and began featuring rappers; this is called hip house.

	East Coast hip hop - Wikipedia Light!
		Hip hop music emerged from block parties thrown by owners of loud and expensive stereo equipment, which they could share with the community or use to compete among ultra-competitive West Indian DJs who began isolating the percussion break from funk or disco songs.
		While Kool Herc and the Herculoids were the first hip hoppers to gain major fame in New York, the public at large was first introduced to hip hop by the releases of the first two commercially issued hip hop recordings, "King Tim III" by The Fatback Band and "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang.
		In contrast with the later rhymes of new school hip hop, old school rap was relatively simple in its rhythms and cadences.

		Last week, Ja, you sat across from Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in an hourlong televised conversation, claiming you were willing to ``see the bigger picture.'' You said you had more invested in the ``overall state of hip-hop'' than in adding fuel to the fire of this beef with 50.
		This nasty feud, the origins of which are still in dispute, turns nastier with each interview and each new diss track.
		Even a cursory skim of the old-school files, when rap music was still largely consigned to block parties and small clubs, reveals a host of lyrical showdowns, including classic battles between Kool Moe Dee and Busy Bee, and KRS-One and MC Shan.

	Hip Hop Commentary
		Hip hop once again faces a moment in its history that may prove defining.
		For the past year, I've been carefully watching where hip hop was going and if it could reach its inner potential, and as we say in hip hop, move the crowd.
		The growing battles within hip hop around mainstream vs. underground, new school vs. old school, or "real" hip hop vs. commercial, are dangerous to real progress.

	collision detection: Rappers' rivalries create totally weird social-network science
		Feuds are common in the business, such as that which existed in the mid-1990s between artists signed to Death Row Records in Los Angeles and those with Bad Boy Records in New York.
		It's also true that hip-hop producers frequently spend their creative time nurturing new talent, which would be a much more benign reason for their lower assortativity.
		Hip-hop and other electronic music genres are largely producer-driven, even though the vocalists' faces are best known.

	Farrakhan and the Beefs of Rap - www.ezboard.com
		The respect is mutual; Farrakhan’s voice has been popping up on rap records since the genre’s earliest years and rappers ranging the spectrum (from “conscious” to “gangsta”) often speak his praises on record and off.
		Historians of the genre note that the rap music, break dancing and graffiti “tagging” that comprised hip-hop’s formative elements were created in part to sublimate the violence plaguing the neighborhoods that gave it birth.
		The spirited rivalries in the 1980s of KRS-ONE vs. MC Shan, LL Cool J vs. Kool Moe Dee, or U.T.F.O. vs. Roxanne Shante, kept fans glued to their radios to catch the latest “dis” records.But rap’s critics and fans both fear that the battle rhymes and beefs have gotten out of hand.

		Feuds and rivalries, however, among groups within the movement began in the 1970s, one of which was called block party involving DJs or emcees outdo each other’s skills via shouting, boasting and taunting as they play their music.
		While this was often done in good humor, it later developed into offstage feuds that eventually became the violent gangster, or ‘gangsta’, rap.

		His music shows a strong affinity with many of these, and his love of theatre and of the grotesque (aided and abetted by Carlo Actis Dato) shares much in common with similar aspects of the Dutch school.
		He was attracted at a very young age to the music based purely on sound rather than pitch of Stockhausen and Cage and the writings of Cage in books such as Silence exerted a strong influence on the development of his ideas in general.
		In addition to improvisation and electronic music he is interested in mediaeval and early classical music with particular emphasis on the traditional repertoire for the "natural" (valveless) version of his difficult instrument, whose history and character he has studied in some depth.

		Notorious hip hop producer Marion ''Suge'' Knight walked into the exclusive Red Room of South Beach's Shore Club early Sunday morning and declared peace in the violent world of hip hop and rap.
		He left with a bullet in his leg, wounding the celebratory vibe of the MTV Video Music Awards and, perhaps, the delicate truce of rap rivalries.
		Before that public display, the two had a bitter feud that included 50 Cent throwing The Game out of his G-Unit, his back-up rappers, and a shootout between their entourages outside New York's Hot 97 radio station.

		However, we try to downplay rivalries as much as possible because we are aware of our role in the hip-hop community.
		And while earlier crusades against rap radio were led by people who disliked the music, this one is run by people who love hip hop but feel it has been polluted by cash.

		The policing effort of top entertainers -- which hip-hop experts criticize as unnecessary stereotyping -- was created, police say, to protect the public and musical celebrities who have chosen to make South Florida their destination to live and party.
		Besides the information they get from other police contacts, officers say they depend on hotel and nightclub workers and off-duty police officers on security details to keep them informed on the celebrities and their followers.
