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.
