What is Origins and Elements of Hip Hop Culture about?

Hip hop originated in the South Bronx in the 1970s among black and Latino youth. It is characterized by four elements - rap music, turntablism (DJing), breaking (dancing), and graffiti art. DJ Kool Herc is considered the "father" of hip hop, mixing samples of songs on turntables at block parties. Hip hop culture soon spread from the Bronx throughout the US and globally, influencing music, dance, art, fashion and language.
