Hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in New York City, particularly among African American youth residing in the Bronx. The term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including DJing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks. While often used to refer solely to rapping, 'hip hop' more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture. Other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/ rapping, DJing/ scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti writing. It consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans also played a central role in the development of hip hop culture in the Bronx borough of New York City in the 1970s. Hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music, is a genre of popular music developed in the United States by inner-city African Americans.
