Hip Hop is not just a form of music, but a culture that originated among the African-American residents of New York in the early 1970s. A decade later, it attracted the attention of large parts of the U. S. Population. By the early 90s, the music genre had spread around the world. The Hip Hop producers in Los Angeles face a very competitive environment, where musicians fight for status by exercising five basic components. Hip Hop is not in the classical sense, a culture, but a subculture.
The main parts, also called the four elements of hip hop culture are MCing, DJing, graffiti and break dancing. The term Hip Hop was created by rappers and DJs. With its origin from socially marginalized groups, the subculture is spontaneously non-conformist in relation to the Western values. People who consider themselves to be part of hip hop subculture may engage in rap, graffiti and break dance.

Graffiti - spraying on walls, trains and everything else. Behind it there is often a philosophy that if the streets can be filled with graffiti and other junk, you fill it with art. Beat Boxing - performing instrumental music beats with the mouth, which in many ways may sound as though it is being played on real instruments. Some talented beat boxers sing or rap even while they make a rhythm.
A feud between the two parts of the country resulted in a lot of trouble and some sad cases resulted in assaults and even murder. One of the most publicized murder was that of west coast rap star Tupac Shakur (popularly known as 2Pac), who was shot in 1996. Few months later, east coast rapper Notorious BIG (also known as Biggie Smalls) was shot and killed.
First MCs were literally typical entertainers, they were able to capture the attention of audiences through their energetic tirade. It should be noted that Jamaica had a similar style of performance that was developed at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s. The popularity of music at these parties meant local DJs could to sell cassettes with recorded live performances, which skillfully mix rhythms and bass lines taken from compositions in the styles of disco and funk over the recited rap. It was purely an amateur occupation, and during that period (1974-1978) no formal releases or studios existed.
The practice of repeating the same instrumental passage became known as the merry go-around. For Herc, the practice was not completely new because it reminded him of the 45 vinyls he often spun in Jamaica. Contemporary rap was known in Jamaica as toasting and was popular among radio deejays, called Selectors which is how they presented themselves and the music they would play.
In early autumn 1979, her studio released the single, Rapper's Delight performed by The Sugarhill Gang, which produced a sensation in the U. S. Market. The single is considered the first rap record despite the fact that some earlier entries contested championship glory. But thanks to this 11 minute track, the American public and the media learned about the hip hop phenomenon. However, despite the popularity of this song (sold 8 million copies), some people agreed in opinion that it was a musical joke of which nothing happens further.

Hip Hop was the first music genre that best embodies the ideology and identity of contemporary African-American culture. This ideology was built on the antagonism towards white Anglo-Saxon culture. Over the past decades, its style emerged as radically different from the traditional style of the white population. The subculture cultivated its own jargon, manner of pronunciation, dance styles, graphic art (graffiti - images made with aerosol sprays or special markers). As the genre of music moves forward, there are many underground hip hop producers in Los Angeles and New York moving the art form into the future.
