嘻哈文化起源于非洲传统的打击乐和口述故事。然而,现代嘻哈则是20世纪70年代初期来源于纽约市犯罪行为猖獗的南布朗克斯区。那些口袋空空却富于创新的年轻人,厌倦了当时流行的乏味的迪斯科音乐,便创造出了-一种新的动感十足的艺术形式:通过配合节奏念词的方式,在言辞上相互较量,并且记录了贫民区的生活。
The person regarded as the father of hip-hop is Kool Herc, a Jamaican who immigrated to New York at age 12. Around 1973, he began deejaying at house parties in the Bronx. To his infectious playlist of R B, soul, and funk he added the Jamaican customs of toasting and dub talk .
被公认为嘻哈之父的库尔 贺克是牙买加人,他是12岁移民到纽约的。1973年左右他开始在布朗克斯区的家庭宴会中担任DJ。在他主持的节奏布鲁斯、灵歌和方克舞等极富感染力的节目里,他还加入了 toasting (对群众说话)和 dub talk (跟着拍子有节奏地讲话)等牙买加风俗节目。
Hip-hop cultures positive energy was fostered by Afrika Bambaataa, a former gang leader and dj who is regarded as the godfather of hip-hop. His efforts brought together the burgeoning hip-hop community and inspired gangs to battle creatively through rapping and breaking rather than tbrough violence.
培养嘻哈文化的正面力量要归功于曾做过帮派头目和DJ的阿弗里卡 班巴塔,他被公认为嘻哈文化的教父。他不仅努力把迅速发展的嘻哈音乐团体团结起来,而且还激励帮派份子在说唱和霹雳舞上进行创造性的互相较量,而不是通过暴力。
