| | History of hip hop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | By the end of the decade, especially with the success of Eminem, hip hop was an integral part of popular music, and nearly all American pop songs had a major hip hop component. | | | 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. | | | Swedish hip hop emerged in the mid 1980s and by the early 1990s a lot of 'ethnic Swedish acts' like Looptroop, 'immigrant acts' like The Latin Kings and mixed acts like Infinite Mass switched from English to rapping in "Rinkeby Swedish", a pidgin language of sorts, when they were making records for the domestic market. |

| | 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. | | | The first hip hop DJ was Kool DJ Herc, who created hip hop through the isolation of "breaks" (the parts of albums that focused solely on the beat). | | | One of the many influences for both hip hop culture and music is the Jamaican style called dub, which arose as a sub-genre of Reggae in the 1960s. |

| | Black culture in the past century was highly cyclical, with new modes of musical expression rising from the underground to articulate blacks' shifting social condition. | | | Hip hop has changed so much that the world's biggest star is a white rapper, a skinny kid from the trailer parks of Detroit who brilliantly marries an attitude and style borrowed from black culture with the angst of Kurt Cobain. | | | Hip hop courses are one of the biggest growth areas in American academia with English professors ditching Baldwin and Richard Wright to teach Public Enemy and KRS-One. |
