A Short History of Hip-Hop
What we know as hip-hop culture originally developed in the Bronx, a part of New York City, in the 1970s. Most of the young African Americans and Latinos (some of them from the islands of the Caribbean or Puerto Rico) belonged to gangs hanging around in the streets, smoking and drinking. They didn´t have any formal way to express themselves. That’s why these ghetto youth created hip-hop as a way to have fun, communicate their experiences, and criticise the social inequality and poverty.
