Cheap Strawberry Fields: a Tribute to The Beatles Tickets for All HipHop & Rap Concerts

Hip hop, also spelled hip-hop or hiphop, is a music genre and a cultural movement developed in urban communities starting in the 1970s, predominantly by African Americans. It consists of two components: rapping (MCing) and DJing (production and scratching). The term hip-hop is often thought to have come from Keith Cowboy, a rapper with Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five.

Early hip hop has often been credited with helping to decrease innercity gang violence by replacing physical violence with hip hop battles, street-style rapping competitions. With the emergence of commercial and crime-boasting rap during the early 1990s, an emphasis on violence was incorporated, with many rappers and hiphop artists bragging about drugs, weapons, cheating, and violence. Although hip hop music now appeals to a broader demographic, media critics argue that politically and socially conscious hip hop has been replaced with by media-savvy gangsta rap mainstream America.
