You can find hip hop everywhere when you go to c 1 like France and Brazil. Even Japan has its own hip hop culture. But where did this strange speaking-singing s 2 come from? Many centuries ago, in West Africa, traditional storytellers played musical instruments while they were telling stories. When this tradition travelled from West Africa to the US, it developed into d 3 musical styles, like blues and jazz. These styles all started in poor African-American areas.
And in the 1970s, there were many poor areas in New York. There wasn't any money for music lessons, so kids made t 4 own music. Teenagers and DJs here played their records outside in the street. Everybody joined in. MCs had rapping(说唱) competitions. Every week, there were talented new dancers, DJs and MCs. So hip hop culture was b 5.
I still remember the first time I heard hip hop. It was in 1980. I was at a party in New York. There was a young DJ at the party. He was playing records. While he was putting a record on, a kid picked up a microphone(话筒) and b 6 rapping, and some other kids danced to the music. It was l 7, and I hated it. I preferred jazz.
During the 1980s, hip hop became p 8 all over the US. Today's successful American artists like Missy and her friend Tim heard it on the radio when they were young.
The last time I heard hip hop, I was in West Africa. I was writing a book about African-Americans. I was going to i 9 a traditional storyteller when I met a young hip hop artist. He told me there are hundreds of rap g 10 in Africa today. We live on a hip hop planet.
