How can one dance without music! What I know is that Music has been around since the beginning of time, but will be more to the point about Hip Hop.In 1925 Earl Tucker (aka Snake Hips), a performer at the Cotton Club, invents a dance style similar to today’s hip-hop moves. He incorporates floats and slides into his dance. Similar moves would later inspire an element of hip-hop culture known as breakdancing. 1940 Tom the Great (a.k.a. Thomas Wong) uses a booming sound system to delight his audience, (Krueger) but Hip-Hop emerged in the Bronx by a gentlemen named Clive Campbell who reintroduced his community to the power of hip hop music. Once the Commissioner Robert Moses finished the expressway in the Bronx, middle-class German, Irish, Italian, and Jewish neighborhoods gradually relocated being replaced by impoverished African-American and Hispanic families, but Dj Kool Herc had an ear for which records would keep the crowd moving. He experimented in the break sections of songs. It was this form of DJ’ing scratching records that would become very important to the growth of Hip Hop. Towards the beginning of the 1970s DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Caz, Grandmaster Flash, and Afrika Bambaataa start playing at parties all over the Bronx neighborhoods. Teens got an opportunity to use their energy and frustrations through dance. Creating their own styles and flairs like ancestors before them. Violence showed a slight decrease and it helped many Rappers get out of the ghetto and taste fame. Dj Kool Herc had an ear for which records would keep a crowd captivated and moving.

I remember buying my first Hip-Hop album the Sugarhill Gang. Once yo MTV Raps came on television Hip Hop dancers and artists boomed. (Salt’ n Pepa, McLyte, Dr. Dre and Queen Latifah.) I am just beginning to really study Hip Hops origins and creators
