Hip-Hop, the artistic form of musical expression that originated in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s! This form of music began to spread widely amongst African-American communities. Now, there are all races that participate within the Hip-Hop movement. Whether it’s by Mcing, Djing, producing, etc. We would just like to take you on a brief Hip-Hop ride from its early emergence till now! Let us know what you think the state of Hip-Hop has become! Is there still a message within each song that’s released? Opinions are definitely needed on this topic!!
