Hip-Hop as we know it today was not just the creation of the art of rapping or rather rhyming lyrics to a rhythmic beat. The Hip Hop movement was just that; it was a whole art movement that served as a way for the youth in poverty to express themselves. From the creation of the DJ and MC to Graffiti and the art of dancing over a repeated break in the beat known as Breaking or B-Boying which is what we know as Breakdancing, a new art form or style was created that still has popularity to this day. Though it isn’t what people would consider as classic art it is still multiple art forms from what I described. Breakdancing is an aggressive but fluid form of dancing that can be seen as a physical way of showing that the streets have talent just like the white population, Rapping is often used as a way to get political statements across of the current situation in a way that young individuals can understand. And graffiti is a straight expression of not following the rules that the government have put on them yet still leaving a beautiful mark that can express ones struggle or just their talent. Even though the people’s situation was not ideal they still found a way to express themselves that we today can look back on and appreciate just like any other artist in history. Hip-Hop is not just your typical art movement it is created from something more raw from the streets that was not the social norm but Hip-Hop is multidimensional and includes much more than just the rapping that it is known for.
