　　All You Need to Know About Hip Hop①

　　Part 1

　　What is hip hop and how did it start?

　　Hip hop is an American cultural movement② which started in the 1970s③ at block parties④in New York⑤， especially⑥ in a district called the Bronx⑦. There are four main aspects of hip hop: breakdance⑧ and graffiti⑨ art plus⑩ two types of hip hop music - DJ­ing and rapping⑪. Rapping is also known as MC­ing⑫ (coming from the term master of ceremonies). The DJs at block parties in the 1970s played a lot of soul music⑬ and they noticed that people preferred the percussion⑭ breaks in the songs because they were the best parts to dance to⑮. So they started repeating the percussion breaks. This is a technique⑯ used by DJs in Jamaica⑰. There were a lot of Jamaicans in New York who brought the idea with them⑱. At first, they played a lot of reggae⑲. 　　①hip hop嬉蹦乐　②movement /'muːvmənt/ n．运动
