Hip Hop is not just a form of music, but a culture that originated among the African-American residents of New York in the early 1970s. A decade later, it attracted the attention of large parts of the U. S. Population. By the early 90s, the music genre had spread around the world. The Hip Hop producers in Los Angeles face a very competitive environment, where musicians fight for status by exercising five basic components. Hip Hop is not in the classical sense, a culture, but a subculture.
Since the late 1990s hip hop has gradually turned into a prominent part of the music industry, and by the middle of the first decade of this century, the subculture has become fashionable and mainstream. It is divided into a plurality of directions. Each trend independent enough to carry its own meaning.
Graffiti - spraying on walls, trains and everything else. Behind it there is often a philosophy that if the streets can be filled with graffiti and other junk, you fill it with art. Beat Boxing - performing instrumental music beats with the mouth, which in many ways may sound as though it is being played on real instruments. Some talented beat boxers sing or rap even while they make a rhythm.
The task of composing includes DJ rhythm on a drum machine, sampling (use of fragments of other songs, particularly bass and synth), manipulation of vinyl records and sometimes beatboxing (vocal imitation). Currently, hip hop is one of the most commercially successful forms of modern music, stylistically represented by numerous characters within the genre.
First MCs were literally typical entertainers, they were able to capture the attention of audiences through their energetic tirade.
