Hip hop, also spelled hip-hop or hiphop is a rythm focused popular music style, origionating from New York in the 70s. The term rap is sometimes used synonymously with hip hop music, though it originally referred only to rapping itself, while Hip Hop usually refered to the beats and rythms. Hip hop arose when DJs began isolating the percussion break from funk or disco songs for audiences to dance to.
