| | Rapping - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography |
 | | In the 1950s, the descendants of Jamaican slaves were mixing their traditional folk music styles of calypso, mento, and soca with the jazz, soul, and rock music of America. | | | During the mid-20th century, the musical culture of Jamaica was constantly influenced by the concurrent changes in American music. | | | All popular music genres with a focus on percussion have contained rapping at some point— be it disco (DJ Hollywood), jazz (Gangstarr), new wave (Blondie), funk (Fatback Band), contemporary RandB (Mary J. Blige), reggaeton (Daddy Yankee), or even Japanese dance music. |

| | 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. |

| | Hip hop claims to be the 'realest' but it's also uniquely suited to novelty records, as hits from comedian Mel Brooks ('Hitler Rap') and TV puppet Roland Rat ('Rat Rappin") prove. | | | Producer Dangermouse proves that hip hop's outlaw spirit lives on, mixing and matching samples from the Beatles' White Album with material from Jay Z's Black Album to create his Grey Album. | | | 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. |
