Rap history in NYC
East Coast hip hop is a regional subgenre of hip hop music that originated in the New York City area during the 1970s. Hip hop is recognized to have originated and evolved first in New York;[1] East Coast hip hop only became a distinct subgenre after artists from other regions of the United States emerged with different styles. In contrast to other styles, East Coast hip hop music has prioritized complex lyrics for attentive listening rather than beats for dancing.[1] The main components of hip hop culture from that time and still today are MC’ing, DJ’ing, break-dancing, and graffiti.
When did it all start
One of the first rappers at the beginning of the hip hop period, at the end of the 1970s, was also hip hop's first DJ, Kool Herc. Herc, a Jamaican immigrant, started delivering simple raps at his parties, which some claim were inspired by the Jamaican tradition of toasting.
Why is it so famous
For the last 20 or so years, rap has dominated mainstream music and culture. Rappers like Eminem and P. Diddy have made millions and millions of dollars off their music; Kanye West, Macklemore, and countless other rappers have won Grammys every year; Dr. Dre recently sold his brand Beats to Apple for one billion dollars; Rap motifs and quotes appear in pop culture every day. Needless to say, hip hop is one of the most successful and popular genres in all of music. So, what makes it appeal to so many different people? The bottom line is that rap is more than a genre of music; it is an entirely different technique.
