Hip Hop is a style of African American music in which African Americans chant over beats. It originated in the 70's in the South Bronx. Originally DJ's would loop a specific cut from popular funk or disco songs known as break beats. Eventually African American MCs would talk over the beats, mostly regarding the incredible skills of the DJ. This evoloved into the MCs talking about themselves and the amount of power money and sexual powers they possessed. Some of these rappers include Eminem, Dr. Dre, Run Dmc, DJ Skip (also known as A2thaM), The Sugerhill Gang, Snoop Dogg, Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac.
