In the 19th century, Blacks had field hollers, spirituals, work songs and other ballads. This evolved into Blues in the first half of the 20th century (Robert Johnson) In the 1950's, the Blues evolved into a very popular genre (B.B. King, Muddy Waters) and gave rise to Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues (Soul). These progressed in the 60's, until Funk and Reggae became predominant in the 70's.

With the influence of electronics in music, boogie, electro music and disco became popular in the 70's. In the 70's, black artists combined the music of funk, disco, boogie and electro music, with funk, reggae, soul and spoken-word of the Blues.

By scratching vinyls (DJ's) and using MC's, Hip Hop was born in the Block Parties of New York City. Old school hip hop was more influenced by R&B, disco and funk, where new school hip hop was more influenced by Rock Music.

How did hip hop get its name?

Webster would define Hip-Hop as " the term pairing hip which means "trendy" or "fashionable" with the leaping movement hop." Websters would be right but to a degree. To find the true story around the naming of Hip-Hop you would have to ask the guys who first made the music popular DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were at the for front of Hip-Hop in fact they are crated with naming it so. This is the reason they gave "they were teasing a friend who was going into the army, repeating the hip/hop/hip/hop his friend would soon be marching to." The group also did a song repeating hip/hop/hip/hop and the name stuck.
