Many people were credited with creating hip hop, but the usual person people refer to is a Jamaican DJ who came to New York for the new scene of Disco/Pop. His name was Kool Herc, or DJ KH. He revolutionized sampling a specific loop and putting poetry over it. His house parties at the student's center in West Bronx, NY, on Sidgewick Avenue was the birthplace of this dominating genre of music.

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.
