Hip Hop is not as simple as you think!



What is Hip Hop? Hip Hop is a music genre and cultural developed in New York in the early of the 1970s. It not just music, it included Mc'ing or Rhythm And Poetry (often called Rapping), fDJing (to mix the music),graffiti writing, and breakdancing. And other stuff like beat-boxing, hip hop fashion and slang. It now had spread all around the world. As it is the best way for young people to express their mind. They express their mind through hip hop by writing graffiti, when they sad the words become very strong and sharp when they are happy their words become very 'soft' and circular. Rapping is the most popular as it show the composer felling and it rhythm sound very nice. But it usually contains bad words. Beat-boxing is very entertain as it is very fun and the beat-boxers make a lot of incredible sounds using their mouth. Breakdancing mostly dance using the dancer's arms and pretending to be robots so dancers have to have strong arms in order to do breakdancing. 
Now a lot of singer choose hip hop to perform as it is very popular. Most of the hip hop singers are black-skin. There are a lot of good singer but my favorite is Lil'Wayne he is very good with a lot of good songs like Lollipop, Got Money,etc. He usually sings together with T-Pain. In 2008, he won the best album of the year. Here are some pictures, on the left hand side is Lil' Wayne, my favorite singer and on the right hand side is an example of graffiti.
