o try to understand better how the best hip hop tracks were made, let’s look at the history of hip hop and how it rose to fame that it has garnered now.
History Of Hiphop
Hip Hop began as a movement in the 1970s by the marginalized communities which were deemed to be not good enough for any kind of involvement in music. It generally began in New York in underground areas before it rose to fame and got the recognition it so rightfully deserved.
It arose as a form of expression of urban black and Latino youth who were not able to express their passion or frustration in any form about the government as well as the general public at that time. Little did they know that this movement was going to become one of the most powerful movements in history with its effect and aftereffects rippling through the public even now with no chances of stopping anytime soon.
In the early 1980s, hip hop wasn’t as established as it is now. Most of the musicians and rappers were working out of their own pockets towards this form of music that everybody sidelined. But they knew they were working towards something important and monumental, something that will change not only the course of the history of music in America but the entire world.
