How has hip hop changed over time?

Answer 1

Hip hop first came to light by Malcolm Maclaren who whilst in the late 70's was walking in New York when he came across a Crew member called Afrika Baambaata . The rest of the crew were called B-Boys who mainly covered everything from graffiti through to Breaking . Which was the first original style of dancing . These dancing "face offs " were called Battles . In the early days this was how disputes were settled .

Then came the explosion of Gangster Rap , which as the title suggests came from the gang war fare that had broken out across the whole of america , and soon spread across the world . The original B-Boy style now faded into nothingness and violent rap and weapons from the "Hood" came into the forefront . From this moment on , Hip Hop was to change forever .
