hip pop Music type hip pop

The root of Hip-Hop is that the overall economic situation in the United States improved in the early 1970s, and blacks who have always been discriminated have finally obtained their own social status and established their own communities. But discrimination still exists for blacks Poverty is still deeply oppressing them. If they want to change their living conditions, they must use their talents. Black people have two talents: one is sports, the other is music. From jazz to rock, now it is RAP. A black man The easiest way to stand out is to play basketball, otherwise it is music. The definition of hip-hop is also composed of five parts: music, dance, graffiti, tattoos and clothing. Their appearance is not a day thing. But gradually formed in the long development process, and established the martial arts. When the hip-hop began to develop in the 1970s, it was divided into four major parts: 1. DJ 2. MC 3. Dancer 4. Graf. Before we mention the history of Hip-Hop, you must know that these four parts are indispensable in Hip-Hop culture, and the ones most closely related to music are DJ and MC. DJ and MC are partners who work together. A good DJ can use two record players and two Beat records to play some simple music rhythms. At this time, two people will immediately have some reactions. One is MC, and then Dancer. MC's mouth began to read the Rap he thought of, mostly expressing dissatisfaction or talking about some daily chores. Dancer began to use his body to express the dance he wanted to say. Needless to say, just to explain Graffti, I think if you are learning to paint, you must really want to let passers-by to enjoy your work, right? Graffti Art (that is, spray paint on the street wall Or train carriages, etc ...) is a manifestation of this mentality. Among the poor working-class black people who started in New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It brings together African music, American music and art culture. Hip-Hop is a general term for street culture composed of multiple elements, including music, dance, rap, DJ technology, costumes, graffiti, and so on. At the beginning, Hip-Hop culture was composed of four major elements: DJ, MC, StreetDance, and Graffiti. Hip-Hop of this period is called Old School Hip-Hop. When Hip-Hop became popular in the 1990s, many different styles emerged in the New School era. Hip-Hop is not only the music produced in urban black slums, but also the voice of urban black slums. Rap musicians began to describe the hard life of them or the people around them. The word "Hip-Hop" is an emerging category of music genre. It has not only represented a single music category since its appearance to development. Hip-Hop has developed into an emerging one at the turn of the century in 2000. Synonymous with lifestyle, including: music, clothing, and behavior. The genus is called street culture! In the entire Hip-Hop culture, clothing is the most outstanding part. Typical clothing includes: a large T-shirt with an exaggerated logo, the same wide towed trousers or side-zipped track pants, basketball shoes or board shoes, golf hats or baseball net hats, national style bags The turban and hair were dyed into different or braided. The corresponding accessories are: tattoos, silver earrings or nose rings, sunglasses, MD Walkman or MP3, skateboards, backpacks and so on. Together, these sporadic outfits make up the hip-hop fashion that has swept the United States for a full 20 years. Hip-Hop is a street culture and a way of life. He has a close relationship with extreme sports such as skateboarding and BMX, which are also street culture. The Hip-Hop family has a common behavior. Even if they do not know each other, you can accurately judge from his appearance. Hip-Hop is 20 years old! From the early 1980s to the 2000s, from old school to new school, no one likes scraping records to everyone crazy for street music. The impact of this culture on the world is beyond people's imagination. Over the past two decades, hip-hop culture has taken root in the United States, successfully combining entertainment, business, music, and even politics. It is an independent and colorful group consciousness. It is a solid and difficult to replace cultural form. It is not just the "black music" we often say, nor is it just screaming "Check it out" with a gesture, more Not just pop singers playing blues. Hip-Hop culture is Hip-Hop culture, which has the long-term personality and emotions. Simply put, Hip-Hop has four important ingredients.

Music Break

In fact, B-Boy (Breaking Poping Locking) began as early as 1983. At that time, we called it "Break Dance". However, this kind of foreign culture can only be regarded as a "popular" at home and cannot be integrated into real life, so it cannot be continued so far, and the information was limited at the time, and people who can truly understand this culture are not Mostly, because of this, this kind of text can not be taught to the next generation perfectly, so in 1987 Breaking, it became a state of decline and even became an outdated popular topic. "Break dance" is of course a culture abroad, but it became history within a few years in China. Although Breaking stopped for a while, many new dance groups appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s (At this time Old School has gradually formed New School). In fact, the types of dances at this stage in China have not been clearly distinguished. Fewer people are playing Breaking on the floor, but mainly Locking and Poping. At this time, the source of information is Japan. In the mid-1990s, New School flourished, and Oldschool was very popular, but there were not many people who could really sustain it. Almost all old faces existed during this period. It was not until the late 1990s that the trend of "hip-hop" prospered and it once again caught the attention of the media. Hip-hop is a dynamic dance, full of movement and large range of movements. Actions such as one-handed handstands, forward rolls, windmills, backspins, etc., are performances with a high degree of difficulty. Hip-hop teenagers must maintain sufficient physical support and possess strong will and courage. ^[1]

Music type spray painting and graffiti

In black movies, we often see strange characters painted on the subway station and even the train. They are spray painting and graffiti. These colorful patterns represent the artist's position on society or his views on society and phenomena. However, it is not easy to use spray paint bottles. The real spray painter uses spray paint bottles as paintbrushes and paints on walls, floors and other places where paintings could not have appeared. The famous spray painter can also be combined with clothing, setting off the fashion trend of clothing. According to the different styles, fonts and hues, spray painters all over the world each set up their own culture and world, which is in line with Hip-Hop's unique and inimitable spirit. The graffiti boy paints on the wall with spray paint to express the ideas, ideas or gangs he wants to declare; from the beginning of the 60s to the present, it has gradually become a street art. Graffiti teenagers compete in graffiti competitions with each other, who has more works and reputations. They "paint" their names or pen names in prominent places in all possible public places as a way of expressing contempt for adult authority. They had a hide-and-seek with the police holding a spray gun filled with paint, which was often stolen. They painted mysterious sentences on urban walls, rude skull-shaped portraits, faces with primitive mask colors, and obscene gestures in children's games. Graffiti works are visual rap and jazz, and are original contributions to visual art. As an extension of popularism, graffiti artists produced sketches, prints, paintings, sculptures, murals, T-shirts, buttons and flags. In 2001, fashion designers invariably learned from Hip-Hop pop culture. From clothes, skirts, high heels, and handbags, you can find black and white or colorful graffiti style works.

DJ DJ

DJ, English full name Disc Jockey can be understood as a record knight. DJ was developed with DISCO. DJ has developed to the present, the meaning has been completely clear, DJ is a professional term, is the abbreviation of Disc Jockey, not a song, those songs are actually electronic music or electronic dance music. There is a noun DJ in the super running game, and there is another DJ company with the same name. DJ, refers to live disc players such as nightclubs , DJ is a profession not music. DJ belongs to one of HIPHOP cultures. Hip-hop is a party that originated on August 11, 1973 in the Bronx Park of DJ Kool Herc. The four expressions of hip-hop culture include rap (rhythm, rhyme Talking), b-boying (street dance), dj (playing records and turntable skills), graffiti (graffiti art).

DJ undoubtedly plays a very important role in the field of hip-hop. Because whether it is B-Boy or MC, you need a DJ to assist, otherwise it is the same as a blind man. In the United States in 1967, there was a biography called King Kool Herl who immigrated from Kingston, Jamaica, to the Browns, New York, United States. At that time, he was the first to put two turntables and mixers together. And the original "scratch" action. So it attracted many people to enjoy his performance on the street. However, he lost his hands in a bar fight, and Herl, known as "The founding Father of Hip Hop", had to stop performing and retire from the music scene. Later, more DJs became famous, such as: Afrika Bambaataa, Grand Master Flash, and others. They integrated their DJ ideas and advanced skills into music production, and produced dance songs that were popular on the streets at the time, such as: Plant Rock, The Message Wait. So the development of DJ is not just pure mixing or scratch skills. In the past few years, DJs have leapfrogged into the field of music production. Many of them also personally act as producers, such as the band Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Pete Rock is the DJ and producer of the band, and DJ Premier of the band Gangstarr is also like this. The role of domestic DJs has not been taken seriously because the domestic music industry believes that DJs have no formal musical literacy, so the works they make are not on the stage; however, the DJ's own ideas and advanced skills are worth starving. We must continue the "belief". In common people s impressions, common DJs often brush their vinyl records (LP) on the turntable back and forth, and use the CROSS FADER on the mixer to control the left and right turntables. Sound) repeatedly switching. In fact, the correct name for this action is "Scratch". Scratch is a singing-like combination in rhythm or in a song, and then adds variability. However, it is not just "scratch". There is also a method of using two identical or different records to change at a certain rhythm. This technique is called "Battle". These two techniques are more commonly used by "Hip-Hop DJ". However, in "scratch" and "battle", there is no certain standard, and each DJ has its own free style. In fact, they have been popular in foreign countries for more than 20 years, and since they have become a special culture, they have also organized some large and small competitions, among which there are highly credible competitions, called "DMC". It originated in the early 1980s when a group of music-loving DJ clubs (guild-like organizations) called "DMC" (DJ Mix Club). Then the champions of each region will compete for the world championship (similar to the Olympic game mode). Every DJ has always shown his best and latest skills in the competition. Many well-known DJs have been created in DMC, such as "Mixmaster Mike", "Q-Bear" and "DJ Tommy" in Hong Kong. This type of DJ has always existed in China, but the space for their development is too small, and the number of people involved is relatively small. So no matter what type of DJ it is, without the support of a group, it is impossible for them to develop and eventually form a new culture. ^[2]

MC Music type MC

MC is the person who can bring the best atmosphere, but this is not necessarily black. The original meaning of "MC" is Micphone Controller, which is the person who "controls the microphone". So many people rap singers will add "MC" or something to their stage name, such as the well-known MC Hammer a few years ago. After many years of inheritance, he is able to host, RAP, and free style. He is not only a performer, but also has the function of a messenger of Hip-Hop culture. Therefore, the content and form of his performance can be divided into different domains and factions, such as the East Bank, West Bank, and the mainstream. . Of course, a MC with a distinct personal color can further promote the popularity of mantras, music and clothing. This can also be seen by so many black singers endorsing clothing brands. In China, it is not easy to be an MC because there are not so many producers in China who support this type of performance. At most, seeing the performance on PARTY will feel fresh, and it will be much easier to start with R & B. But there are few MCs who can add some melodies and singing skills to their works. In fact, most MCs still hope that everyone can start from the perspective of "play", which is the real element of black music. Only joy and happiness. Only in the "love song first" music market, to find room to play.

Genre: Jazz

A form of music that originated in Africa from roots Bruce, Ragtime, through New Orleans jazz to Dixieland jazz, swing, mainstream jazz, Bebop, modern jazz to free jazz and electronic jazz during the 19th century It is an important means for black slaves in the southern United States to express their lives and emotions. Jazz is very different in musical instruments and playing methods, which is completely different from traditional bands. Since the "jazz age", the saxophone has become one of the most sold musical instruments; the trombone can play funny or weird glides that other brass instruments can't do, so it has become popular in jazz bands; the trumpet It is also a favorite instrument of jazz musicians; blues is also a type of JAZZ. Wang Ruolin's songs are basically jazz tones, which is a very casual feeling.

Music Type Country Music

Country Music appeared in the 1920s. It originated from the folk music in the agricultural areas of the southern United States and was first developed by the influence of traditional British folk songs. The earliest country music is traditional mountain music (Hillbiy Music). It has simple tunes, smooth rhythms, and narrative. Unlike the sad pop songs in the city, it has a strong rustic flavor.

Mountain music began to bring in the mainstream of American pop music, and the earliest batch of country singers emerged, such as Jimmy Rodgers (1897 ~ 1933), a blend of blues, white mountain songs (Yodels), and folk songs (Folk). This kind of music style is considered the pioneer of country music, and is titled the "king of country music".

"The Caner family" (composed of AJvin Carter, 1891-1960, and his wife, brother-in-law and three women) won with a cozy and harmonious genre and focusing on homeland, God and faith The audience loved it. For artists like the Carter Family, singing is just an amateur way of making a living. But in the initial stage of country music, they did make a huge contribution to the development of country music, and also left valuable recording materials for early country music.

Many country musicians have contributed to bringing country music out of the South or Midwest. Hank Williams made the biggest contribution, and Williams most famous work" Jambalaya "became a household name in the world. Classic song.

Country music entering the 1990s can be said to have fully integrated into the mainstream of popular music. Of course, in this process, its popular colors became stronger. By the end of the 20th century, almost no music did not have popular colors, otherwise it would be regarded as "heterogeneous." Another feature is that singers and the songs they sing across the charts have become very common, and few people stick to a position. This is the result of commercial hype. Economic leverage is playing a regulating role. People are willing to buckle down for five meters of rice, so it has become a trend to follow suit. Country music in the 1990s is also becoming more global, which is related to economic globalization. The world has become a global village. Country music is no longer a US patent. It can be heard in all corners of the world, but it is less original and more modern. This renewed country music has become the common voice of the global villagers. There is no doubt that the singers of this period are mostly cross-century. They are young, full of hope, and pioneers of the new century.
