| | Hip hop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hip hop music (also referred to as rap or rap music) is a style of popular music. | | | Hip hop music is also erroneously used at times to describe related genres of music, such as contemporary RandB, which are primarily sung; while singing is commonly present in hip hop songs, the main vocal (assuming there are vocals) is always rapped. | | | Hip hop is a cultural movement, of which music is a part (as are graffiti and breakdancing). |

| | Roots of hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | U.S. Male, a song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1967, can be considered a prototype to rap. | | | 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). | | | MCs would play at block parties, with no expectation of recording, thus making hip hop a form of folk music (as long as electronic music is not excluded from being folk). |

| | Instead, it was the album that allowed the Roots to create such a record. | | | The Roots have sought to create their own musical vernacular, in turn broadening the language of hip-hop -- musically, lyrically and intellectually -- regardless of commercial interest. | | | The album proved to be a platinum smash, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, while one of its songs, "You Got Me," netted the Roots their first Grammy. |

| | Low-Life UK Hip Hop Story Roots Manuva - Witness |
| | The impact of the record on a genre of music which seemed to have gone into hibernation in the UK of the early nineties should not be underestimated. | | | As a result of this relative success and hard work Roots' lyrical skills were in demand and he rapidly became something of a cameo king, destroying microphones for the likes of Leftfield, Skitz, Mr Scruff, Mica Paris, 23 Skidoo and Pharoahe Monch, amongst several others as well. | | | There is also bonus a track, which makes purchasing the CD more of a conundrum for Hip Hop heads. |

| | More lyrical, musical and rock-influenced than the jazzy and soulful clips from their last studio album, this sixth disc is a bit of a departure from what fans of neo-soul/neo-hip-hop have come to expect. | | | With their unique look, the Roots drew a core group of diehard followers but failed to break through in the hard-core hip-hop music industry defined by gangsta' rap, bling-bling and the Benjamins. | | | Because the two couldn't afford expensive DJ equipment, they improvised with Trotter rapping over Thompson's grooves on a drum kit. |

| | The Roots of Hip Hop |
| | Rapping, the rhythmic use of spoken or semi-sung lyrics grew from its roots in the tribal chants and the plantation work songs to become, an integral part of black resistance to an oppresive white society. | | | Young blacks and whites on the streets listened first to Lionel Richie and then to Grandmaster Flash and made their choice; the punters deserted the established soul scene in droves, searching for that perfect beat, and defenders of the true soul have struggled in vain to keep up with developments ever since. | | | Over the last two years electro releases have come fast and furious, the music has had its ups and downs and yet it is still moving in the right direction. |
