Historia de la cultura del Hip Hop

No est de ms conocer las races de nuestra msica, de nuestra cultura, nuestro baile, nuestro estilo, nuestra droga. Antes que nada hay que comentar que muchas personas confunden el termino Rap con el de Hip hop, el Rap forma parte del Hip hop, el Hip hop es la cultura entera, todo el movimiento, compuesta por la msica, el baile, y el arte. El rap (junto con el DJ) es la parte musical del Hip hop, por lo tanto, no es del todo correcto la frase de "Yo escucho Hip hop", es Rap lo que se escucha. Una vez aclarado esto podemos empezar con la parte musical de esta cultura denominada Hip hop, el Rap, la parte sonora la produce el trmino denominado MC y el DJ, el MC, siglas que significan Maestro de Ceremonias, proviene de la entidad religiosa, el padre es el Maestro de Ceremonias y es "el que habla", en la cultura del Hip hop es el encargado de rapear, era muchas veces la llamada "msica de negros" ya que era en Estados Unidos donde los trabajadores de color inconformes rapeaban sus problemas para as intentar superarlo. El MC produce rimas sobre un tema en concreto encima de una base musical realizada por un DJ, el "Disc Jockey" empieza a finales de 1970 con el fenmeno del Turntablism, se trataba de msica callejera, diferentes estilos pero siempre en la calle, gratuitamente y con el DJ con sus platos. Clive Campbell, ms conocido como Kool DJ Herc fu un jamaiquino pionero en el fenmeno del Turntablism. Kool DJ Herc a finales de los 60 se mud a Nueva York y llev, con l, la tradicin jamaiquina del Toasting, improvisar rimas sobre secciones instrumentales de discos de reggae.

DJ Kool Herc

Nuestro DJ pionerose decant exclusivamente por la parte instrumental, el DJing, y dej la parte del MCing (como se conoca el trmino de rap en aquellos tiempos) a 2 de sus amigos, Coke La Rock y Clark Kent, estos 3 fenmenos crearon el primer grupos de MC's llamados Kool Herc y the Herculoids. No hay que dar menos importancia al DJ que descubri el trmino denominado como Scratch, usado en casi todos los grupos de Hip hop. Este fenmeno fu descubierto por Grand Wizard Theodore, de la manera ms fortuita posible, en una entrevista dijo lo siguente: Un da estaba escuchando msica, con el volmen un poco alto, y mi madre golpe la puerta gritando muy fuerte: "Si no apagas esa msica, te estrangulo!" al mismo tiempo que ella me gritaba mantuve los auriculares en mi cabeza, detuve el vinilo y empec a llevar el disco hacia adelante y hacia atrs

y alucin, as que comenc a experimentar con eso durante Theodore un par de meses, hasta que lo saqu, y sal con el Scratch. Seguimos con la cultura Hip hop, toda msica tiene su baile, sus movimientos, en esta cultura el baile que acompaa la msica Rap es el que lleva el nombre de Breakdance. Este tipo de baile acrobtico lo desarroll James Brown en 1969 con su cancin Get on the Good Foot, en esa poca el Breakdance no era lo mismo de hoy en da, no haba tantos movimientos de suelo, pero pareca imposible la velocidad que podan adquirir las piernas de un breaker de esa poca y la de movimientos complejos que poda desarrollar, era el llamado Floor Rock. Movimiento Breakdance Este estilo se mantuvo hasta ms o menos 1977, luego, a principios de los aos 80 se form Rock Steady Crew, un nuevo grupo de Break con un ritmo que impresionaba, ya no slo trabajaban con el Floor Rock de James Brown si no que tambin incluan los actuales movimientos de giros de cabeza y dems movimientos del suelo. Rock Steady Crew protagonizaron la pelcula Wild Style de Charles Ahearn, donde se reflejaba la cultura del Hip hop en todos sus aspectos, la msica, el baile y el arte. Bien, ya tenemos la cultura del Hip hop casi completa, la msica y el baile, pero nos falta hablar sobre el arte, en esta cultura el trmino Graffiti, trmino que nos llega de Italia pero que sus inicios se remontan a tiempos inmemorables, desde los inicios el hombre ya ha pintado paredes, jeroglficos en las cuevas, marcas en las piedras, todo tipo de imgenes grabadas sobre una superficie con un mismo fin, la comunicacin visual. Esta comunicacin se usa, ms adelante, como protesta contra la poltica o cualquier otra entidad con la que el pueblo no estubiera plenamente de acuerdo, el fenmeno de protesta utilizando la va visual y las pintadas en las paredes empieza durante la poca de 1965-1970. Justo despus, en Filadelfia aparecen los graffitis que hoy en da conocemos todos, apodos y nombres con distintas formas y colores haciendo de una triste pared una obra de arte con la que intentaban llamar la antencin.

Graffiti

Tag

Inicialmente se empez con el fenomeno denominado Tag, trataba de firmar el apodo o el nombre en la pared sin ms, luego, esto fu evolucionando y las letras de esos Tags empezaron a ser ms grandes, con ms colores, distintas formas pero cada escritor con su propio estilo, normalmente por las calles vemos el graffiti en s, con miles de colores y su Tag, la firma del autor. Que sera de esos largos viajes sin el placer visual que nos proporcionan estos artistas urbanos.

History of Hip Hop culture It hurts to know the roots of our music, our culture, our dance, our style, our drug. First of all you have to comment that many people confuse the term with Rap Hip Hop, Rap is part of Hip hop, hip hop is the entire culture, the whole movement, composed music, dance, and art . Rap (with DJ) is the music of hip hop, therefore, is not entirely correct phrase "I hear hip hop," Rap is what you hear. Having said that we can start with the musical part of this culture called Hip hop, rap, the sound is produced by the term called MC and DJ, the MC, an acronym that means Master of Ceremonies, comes from the religious entity, the Father is the Master of Ceremonies and is "speaking" in the culture of Hip hop is in charge of rapping, was often called "black music" as it was in America where black workers were rapping their unhappy problems and try to overcome it.

DJ Kool Herc The MC produces rhymes about a particular subject over a backing track by a DJ, "Disc Jockey" begins in late 1970 with the phenomenon of Turntablism, it was street music, different styles but always in the street, free and the DJ with their dishes. Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc was a Jamaican pioneer in the phenomenon of Turntablism. Kool DJ Herc to late 60's he moved to New York and brought with it the Jamaican tradition of Toasting, improvise rhymes over instrumental sections of reggae records. Our DJ pionerose opted exclusively for the instrumental, DJing and MCing left part of (as the term was known rap at the time) to 2 of his friends Coke La Rock and Clark Kent, these 3 phenomena created the first groups of MC's called Kool Herc and the Herculoids. Do not give less importance to the DJ who discovered the term referred to as Scratch, used in almost all groups of Hip hop. This phenomenon was discovered by Grand Wizard Theodore, in the most random possible, in an interview said the following things: One day I was listening to music, with the volume a bit high, and my mother knocked on the door shouting loudly: "If you turn off the music, strangle you!" while she kept screaming in my head

headphones, vinyl stopped and began to carry the album forward and backward and flipped out, so I started experimenting with it for a couple of months until I got it, and I went out with Scratch. Grand Wizard Theodore

Movement Breakdance We continue with the culture Hip hop, all music has its dance, its movements, in this culture that accompanies the dance music Rap is named Breakdance. This kind of acrobatic dance was developed by James Brown in 1969 with his song Get on the Good Foot, at that time Breakdancing was not the same today, there was much movement of soil, but the speed seemed impossible that they could acquire the legs of a breaker of that time and the complex movements that could develop, it was called Rock Floor. This style continued until about 1977, then in the early 80's Rock Steady Crew was formed, a new group of Break at a pace that impressed, not only worked with James Brown Floor Rock but it also including the current head movements and rotations of other movements of the soil. Rock Steady Crew starred in the film Wild Style by Charles Ahearn, which reflected the culture of hip hop in all its aspects, music, dance and art. Well, we have the culture of hip hop almost complete, music and dancing, but we need to talk about art, in this culture the term Graffiti, a term that comes from Italy but its history goes back to ancient times, from early man has painted walls, hieroglyphs in caves, marks on the stones, all kinds of images recorded on a surface with the same goal, visual communication. This communication is used later as a protest against the policy or any other entity with which the people do not fully agree estubiera, the phenomenon of protest using the visual pathway and painted on the walls begins during the period of 1965-1970 . Soon after, in Philadelphia graffiti appear all know today, nicknames and names with different shapes and colors making a sad wall a work of art and trying to draw attention being. Graffiti

Tag Initially started with the phenomenon known as Tag, was signing the nickname or the name on the wall without further ado, then, this was evolving and the letters of these tags began to be larger, with more colors, different shapes, but each writer his own style, usually in the streets we see the graffiti itself, with thousands of colors and Tag, the author's signature. That would be those long trips without the visual pleasure they give us these urban artists.
