Early 80s - Rapper's delight

Mid 80s - end of breaking era, start of freestyle hiphop era, nobody beats the biz
Late 80s to 90s - music speeds up, rappers brings breaks back,
Early 90s - mix of hip hop and rnb called new jack swing. Groove me. the music is
fast again, there's a melody again.
End of 90s - gangsta rap. laidback hiphop ish. only for driving and drinking so
what hiphopers did pumunta sila
sa mga house club and funk club.

Hiphop is a culture, it's not a dance. Spoken word, art, music and dance. Spoken
word meaning
rhythm and poetry what we call rap. Art being graffiti. The music being provided by
the DJ. That's the
DJ's job, to make you dance.

You want to stay inside the music, the dancer's job is to express what the music
makes you feel.
You don't think when you dance. The correct way is you dance and then you think
about what you just did.
Feel. The music says move. The beat tells you what to do. The music moves you. You
don't move the music.

What you do is as soon as you hear the music you do this(up rock) it's called
rocking. The Up rock
specifically. You rock the beat, you rock the floor, you rock the house that's
where it comes from.
This is the basis of everything we do in streetdance.

Now clap on beat. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 you always clap on even counts


Now what you want to do is dance on the claps. that is the natural way that our
body can dance to.
The melody, the horns, the bass, it's all in the groove.

So if it doesnt have a groove, it's not hiphop.

So eto tuturo ko lahat ng basics ng hiphop, iddrill natin from old school, mid
school, to new school hiphop.
Pwede nyo isulat to btw if gusto nyo mej madami kasi ung terms so ako rin nung bago
lang ako di ko
matandaan lahat haha.
