The History of Rap Music
Feb 13, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: ArticlesLet’s take the time to learn a little more how the hip hop culture evolved. Before there was the fashion style, there was music.
Hip hop rose to popularity in New York in the late 70s during the height of popularity of the so-called block parties. DJs usually played funk and soul music and later on tried to play only the break beats of the songs. It became a hit among block partygoers and the rest is history, so they say.
One of the famous DJs at the time was DJ Kool Herc, who is widely regarded as the godfather of hiphop. Aside from DJ-ing, he also began collaborating with emcees to supply the words to the music. A lot more DJs followed suit including hip hop legend Grandmaster Flash and helped develop the genre into what it is today.
But what’s hip hop without the emcees? Now popularly known as rappers, they supply the words to the music not by singing them but by rhythmically speaking them along the beat. The themes in the lyrics are varied ranging from partying, sex, drugs and even political ones.
As the music evolved, so did the art of rapping. Freestyle rapping is one popular form wherein rappers spit out lyrics spontaneously. This is also popular with rapping duels wherein two rappers go head-to-head and try to top each other in coming up with the best rhyme.
What could be considered as hip hop music’s golden age was in the 1980s when the genre was just starting to become recognized. Groups such as Run DMC and Beastie Boys, as well as solo acts like LL Cool J helped boost the popularity of the music was then limited to block parties.
Achieve the Classic Run DMC Look
Nov 16, 2007 Author: admin | Filed under: ArticlesRun DMC is regarded as one of the pioneers of the hip hop movement. Founded by Joseph ‘Rev Run’ Simmons, Darryl ‘DMC’ McDaniels and Jason ‘Jam-Master Jay’ Mizell in New York City in the 80s, the group has contributed a lot in taking the genre into the mainstream and helped it reach wider audiences by crossing over genres (they collaborated with Aerosmith in their version of ‘Walk This Way’) and performing in high-profile events such Live Aid in 1985.
But aside from their music, another thing that cemented the group’s reputation is its classic look. If there were such a thing as a definitive old school hip hop get-up, then theirs would be on top of the list.
So how does the group’s classic get up look like? Tight leather jeans and jackets, a fedora hat, a pair of white Adidas sneakers without laces, Cazal glasses and the oversize gold dookie rope chain necklaces are the things that would define the classic Run DMC look.
And man, did they preach about it. The group has recorded a song called ‘My Adidas’ in praise of their favorite brand of sneakers. Also their song ‘Raising Hell’ puts into words their fashion sense. “C’mon basic black, shell toe Adidas, black hat, black shirt and jeans, fat gold rope chain and black leather jacket.” Nobody can say it – and wear it – better than them.
Their preaching paid off and has influenced a host of fans that is becoming a very popular trend. Achieve retro fashion with today’s trend at Filthy Dripped!
