HIP-HOP & COUNTRY MUSIC Jonathan Gidney
There are 4 elements of Hip-Hop: • Djing – very common, you get a turntable and place two record disc on it. Allowing you to scratch and mix records as you go on djing whatever event you may be hosting. • Mcing - this is the actual rapping part of hip-hop • B-boying/B-girling – this is all the breakdancing. The b-boy or girl usually rocks to the beat at the beginning of whatever song is being played and goes into their breakdance right after. • Graffiti- this part of hip-hop is all the writings and drawings that you sometimes see all over the wall of a public place. IT’S WAY MORE THAN JUST THE MUSIC What Exactly is Hip-Hop
This genre of music rooted in the folk traditions of the British Isles. • Its basically fiddle tunes (old time music) that had been playing in the southern Appalachians for several years • Mostly telling stories of hard times or some sort of love affair What is Country Music
The kids that “started hip-hop” were simply trying to find new ways to pass the time • After an FBI suppression took place in Bronx in the year of 1960 the “new generation” expressed it self through hip-hop • The year was 1973 when the ‘back to school jam’ took place hosted by DJ KoolHerc.

The Takeoff of Country Music
James Charles Rodgers was born in Meridian Mississippi on Sept. 8, 1897. • He was an amateur entertainer for a while but he then became a serious performer in 1925 after he had retired from the railroad due to poor health. • By the year 1926 Rodgers and his wife Carrie moved to Asheville, North Carolina, and started the Jimmie Rodgers’ Entertainers. • This was a band made up of himself (banjo), Jack Pierce (guitar), Jack Grant (banjo), and Claude Grant (banjo) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYeNLyAGbvA “Father of Country Music”
Today hip hop music has became “Commercial hip-hop.” Meaning that most of the music that is playing is what the media wants to hear. Talking about the bling, the cars, and the flashy lifestyle. What Hip Hop Music has come to be Today
