Hip hop is a form of musical expression and artistic culture that originated in African American, Asian and Latino communities during the 1970s in New York City. DJ Afrika Bambaataa outlined the four pillars of hip hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking, graffiti writing and beatboxing.
Hip hop culture has spread around the world and was first formed with disc jockeys creating rhythmic beats by looping breaks on two turntables and later rap was included. An original form of dancing and styles of dress arose among fans of this new music.
The graffiti and hip hop culture arise from the appearance of new and pervasive forms of the practice. In other areas hip hop were evolving as art forms. Today, graffiti remains part of hip hop, while crossing into the mainstream art world with exhibits in galleries throughout the world.
