嘻哈乐诞生于20世纪70年代纽约市的布朗克斯区,是闪耀大师、DJ酷赫克和阿弗里卡·巴姆巴塔等艺术家混合了放克音乐、灵魂乐和牙买加'吟唱'(随着音乐唱诵)而创造出来的音乐类型。自形成早期,嘻哈就成了世界上销量最大的音乐类型之一,对西方社会产生了深远的影响。嘻哈也常被认为是一种'文化',对西方主流社会的时尚、艺术、语言和政治都有着显著的影响。
Hip-hop was born out of the Bronx during the 1970s.Artists such as Grandmaster Flash,DJ Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaata mixed funk,soul and Jamaican“toasting”(chanting over music)to create the genre.Since its early formation,hip-hop has become one of the world’s biggest-selling musical genres.Its influence on Western society is far reaching and hip-hop is often referred to as a“culture”.It has had a notable influence on fashion,art,language and the politics of mainstream Western society.
