True Hip Hop is a term that describes the independent collective
consciousness of a specific group of inner-city people. Ever growing,
it is commonly expressed through such elements as: Breakin’, Emceein’,
Grafiti art, Dee Jayin’ Beatboxin’, Street Fashion, Street
Language, Street Knowledge and Street Entrepreneurialism. Hiphop is
not just music and dance, nor is Hip Hop a product to be bought and
sold. Discovered by Kool DJ Herc in the Bronx, New York around 1972,
and established as a community of peace, love, unity and having fun
by Afrika Bambaataa through the Zulu Nation in 1974, Hip Hop is an independent
and unique community, an empowering behavior, and an international culture.”
KRS-ONE, Rumminations (2003)
