The matter solidified in a subsequent interview in The Village Voice in 1984. The term hip hop became legit as it appeared in print for the very first time in 1979. It was in an interview with Bambaataa in The New Pittsburgh Courier, where the description was dropped quite casually. Right before the name hip hop became a thing, this party DJing style was often described as disco rap.
Afrika Bambaataa, who’s viewed as The Godfather of hip hop, is also among the very first to use the term publicly in reference to this type of music. Besides the chants and the unforgettable catchphrases like “make money money, make money money money,” he would often energize the crowds by something like “I said a hip-hop, a hipp it, hippy-dippy, hip-hip-hop and you don’t stop.” Lovebug Starski seemed to like the way the words slid on his tongue, and he was seen using them at various parties later on. That was his way of echoing the martial steps, but the incident didn’t end with the shared laughs. He was playfully accosting a friend of his who had just been drafted and kept repeating the words hip-hop-hip-hop. Kevin Smith was a Bronx DJ and rapper who went by the name Lovebug Starski. The more famous story of where the peculiar name ‘hip hop’ came to be, mentions a friendly banter that ended up with the conception of a genre label. That might’ve been an inspiration for what happens next. The older generation seemed to call these jumping youngsters “hippity hops”. It’s said that back in the 1950s, teen parties rife with fast beats and dancing were slightly ridiculed by grown-ups. And that’s probably why the echoes of classic hip hop are still heard even 50 years after the genre was created. Many new-age hip hop performers and their followers share the same sentiment. Interestingly, these views aren’t exclusive to old-school hip hop icons or enthusiasts. They might not speak badly about rap, but they make a point of pointing out that hip hop and rap aren’t mutually exclusive. To these folks, the main difference between hip and rap is the difference between an original and an offshoot. Even the graffiti, the street dances, the poetic duels, the toasting, and the turntabling. Hip hop purists believe that only those who have lived through the hardships of underground life can talk about it. KRS-One says “Rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live.” One artist has an opinion about the matter that many others agree with. What Are the Differences Between Hip Hop and Rap?Īccording to various hip hop pioneers, even though both terms are used interchangeably, rap is a very different culture from hip hop. Other ingredients of it include street art, articulating personal pain, and heavy use of techno music. The most familiar aspect of hip hop is rapping lyrics to a background of lively music. It’s a melange of rhythmic tunes and rhyming words that boomed in the 1970s and 80s. Hip hop is more of a culture than a music genre. The Hip Hop Scene 50 Years After Its Inception In a Nutshell, What Is Hip Hop Music? We stop serving breakfast at 10:30.ĪW, HORSESHIT! No, no.
No, you're 30 minutes and 4 seconds late. What are you talking about? We're 4 seconds late. Lasagna? What the hell's the matter with you? We'll take hotcakes and sausage.
What can I get for you?Ĭheerios, they don't got Cheerios, what else? But after taking care of the tyke for a couple of days, Sonny finds that it's a little like feeding that stray dog that followed you home: Before you know it, you've grown attached to the little fella-and then what are you going to do? By turns crude and maudlin, Big Daddy has its share of laughs and will certainly entertain fans who like Adam Sandler best when he plays the case of arrested development with a smart-aleck retort for everything. But when his girlfriend threatens to dump him, he decides to show her he's serious about their relationship and pretends to adopt a little boy (in fact, his roommate's son from a one-night stand several years earlier, who shows up on their doorstep just after the roommate leaves town on a job). Sandler plays Sonny Koufax, a law-school grad who has been milking an accident settlement to cover his living expenses, while he continues to slack his way through life. But Big Daddy is about paternal devotion in its own oblique way.
You gotta love 'em, right? Well, not necessarily- particularly if you're Adam Sandler.
