Hip hop

Did you know the popular music genre today, hip hop was invented in the 70s in southern New York. The creator was Clive Campbell or DJ Kool Herc who was born in Jamaica but moved to the United States at a young age.


Firstly, hip hop does not have lyrics otherwise it changes genres to rap. Part of hip hop history involves break dancing which was invented all by the same guy, DJ Kool Herc.
“DJ Kool Herc, is a Jamaican-born American DJ who is credited with originating hip hop music in the early 1970s” from wikipedia, shows that Kool Herc was the clear inventor.

Finally, I found that the popular music genre today hip hop isn't that old. Hip hop isn't super important to me but music will change over time and one day it might. If you enjoy the music genres rap and hip hop i think if you like the music genre hip hop you might not of known some of this.
