Hip Hop music has its roots in the black funk and soul music of the 70's. Rap originated from the R&B tradition of which is complemented by the sampling and scratching which began in black ghettos of the United States. Hip Hop refers to not only a musical genre, but also the youth culture characterized by elements of rap (MCing), DJing, breakdancing, graffiti writing and beatboxing.
From 2005, when Eminem retreated to a creative break the dominance of the Detroit scene took off rapidly and crossover musicians such as Kanye West and Gnarls Barkley experienced great success. The race for sales in the autumn of 2007 between West's album Graduation and 50 Cent's ' Curtis was intense. Graduation proved that innovative rap music can be just as commercially successful as gangsta rap.
This was confirmed by top chart positions by artists such as K'naan, Kid Cudi, Drake or Nicki Minaj in the following years. Since the early 1990s, Hip Hop had spread internationally. Typical styles of each country have emerged, but overall the performers from the United States remain dominant. In Europe, Hip Hop was already falling on fertile ground around the 80s, in places such as Paris and Marseille. There also exist Hip Hop scenes in other countries (e. G, Germany, Poland, Belgium).
The strongest acts of the early 1990s on the East Coast were either intellectual formations, especially the Native Tongues Posse, such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Jungle Brothers, and the Fu - Schnickens, or political acts such as Public Enemy or KRS-One. Although some very experimental or politically dedicated tones found strong favor with the critics.
Consolidation of Hip Hop as a separate style with its own techniques called mixtapes came in 1979, when the disco Fatback band together with the rapper King Tim III Personality Jock band released a single. A week later came the famous "Rapper's Delight" by Sugar Hill Gang, which was a huge success, to the surprise of all concerned, it sold over 8 million copies worldwide.
However, the major trailblazing rap star was Kurtis Blow, who had already been successful with his first single and it remained so with his subsequent albums until the mid-80s. After "Rapper's Delight", it was clear that money could be earned with Hip Hop, and the interest of music industry bosses turned to rap (the term Hip Hop was still uncommon).
In the fall of 1981, the single "Der Kommissar" by the Austrian Falco created a sensation in the pop scene. It reached No. 1 in almost all of Europe. With his development, Falco was sometimes referred to as the first white rapper. In particular, the label Sugar Hill, which had already released Rapper's Delight, quickly moved to secure Grandmaster Flash under contract, who worked with the rap group The Furious Five since 1977.
Hence, the inclusion of this music in the broader cultural group mentioned above, and the attitude of hip-hoppers who keep the dress style (street wear), the language of the ghetto (slang) and values. The attachment of hip-hoppers in their neighborhood (through the notion of representation) translates positively through a generally strong link with other hip-hoppers from the same place, expressed by the terms crew, posse, squad, homies, clan or clique. Rappers and underground Hip Hop producers are at the forefront of the culture and also influence popular music today.
