The Elements of Hip Hop:
1. DJing: A disc jockey, also known as DJ, is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience.
2. Emceeing: A Master of Ceremonies (MC or emcee), is the official host of a staged event or performance. An MC usually presents performers, speaks to the audience, and generally keeps the event moving. 3. Rapping: Rapping (also known as emceeing, MCing, spitting, or rhyming) refers to "spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics". 4. Breakdancing: B-boying or breaking, often called "breakdancing", is a style of street dance that originated as a part of hip-hop culture among African American and Latino youths in New York City during the early 1970s. 5. Graffiti: Graffiti is writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. |
