THE HIP HOP GENRE

History: Hip-hop culture originated in New York among black and Latino ghetto. Street culture existed for centuries in all countries. But in USA, a country of ghettos, it had a special isolation from society, and then it spilled onto the streets of white quarters and then to the masses - the show-business, discos, cinema, etc. Soul singer James Brown, and musical 'comedy' acts such as Rudy Ray Moore and Blowfly are often considered "godfathers" of hip hop music.
