Hip hop music was created in 1920’s and came from the slums of New York City. The genre was mainly popular around African- American and Latino teenagers. Most of these teenagers would have a jobs as Deejays. Eventually, rapping became more popular, and people started combining raps with Dj techniques (like scratching and beat-making) which created Old- School hip hop. Today, hip hop is made from people like Slim Shady and Kanye West. Hip hop is popular in today’s modern society and culture, so it is most likely that you have heard and liked a hip hop song.
