Early Hip Hop
Early Hip Hop emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, originating from the vibrant street culture of the Bronx, New York. Characterized by its use of turntablism, breakbeats, and energetic MCing, this genre laid the foundation for modern hip hop with tracks like "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang and "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. It was a revolutionary movement that fused rhythmic spoken word with DJ-driven beats, capturing the social narratives and dynamic creativity of its time.
