'''Hip-hop''', or '''rap''', is a music style that developed in the mid-1970s in the [[United States]], particularly in [[New York]] and [[Los Angeles]]. Hip hop performances generally consist of two main roles, [[DJ]]ing (producing live beats and sounds, or more commonly, [[sample|sampling]] from existing records and breaks) and [[rap|MCing]] or rapping (vocals). Hip hop is one of two genres of music invented in the [[United States]] (the other being [[jazz]]).
