The History of Hip Hop is a powerful cultural and social history of the end of the 20th century, and a deeper look into a new world that America's hip-hop generation created for music lovers worldwide.

Hip Hop is the Art and Pulse of urban America!

This cultural brilliance of sound presented a voice and unique mindset through the streets of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and largest conurbations going as far back as the 1920s through dance. Sprung from the spirits of poverty, this inner city culture quickly uncovered an amazing bunch of young fresh American forces of nature eager to express their unique life narratives and contributed to a spirited new style of soul of "Black Americana" across cities in the USA, UK and cities worldwide.

Nowadays, Hip Hop has reached the doorsteps of every continent on the planet. To picture how far the rap genre has come, this book discusses the following:

• Differences between the terminology of Hip-Hop and Rap
