	Roots of hip hop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hip hop culture, including rapping, scratching, graffiti, and breakdancing, emerged from 1970s block parties in New York City, specifically The Bronx (Toop, 1991).
		Lastly, most existing hip hop acts were shocked when King Tim III's throwback to radio DJs rhyming jive and the Sugarhill Gang's appropriation of rap on their remake, not sample, of Chic's "Good Times" were released, as most DJs and MCs knew each other and many had been attempting to record (Toop, 1991).
		Another reason for hip hop's rise was the decline of disco, funk and rock in the mid- to late 70s.
