    Hip-hop music had very humble beginnings in the city of Bronx, New York. In an area where arson, government neglect, and violence ran rampant, the poor youth needed to find a safe place from this madness (Change 59). Through this, they found the culture of hip-hop. Young kids in the area would pass time by rapping in a Jamaican reggae style over the beats of funky Afro-Latin beats, dancing to wild percussive beats, and spray painting (Chang 61). These innocent ways of leisure for the youth were essentially what embodied the original form of hip-hop music. Shortly after, these elements were put into the mainstream where teenagers threw parties. Not only did hip-hop music become a popular thing for teens to do, but it was also a great way to vent out anger and energy in a positive way (Chang 6). One of the biggest pioneers of the hip-hop genre in the late 70s was Afrika Bambaattaa.…

When I was very young my mother would play music for me and sing to me. My father would also play the drums very loudly so the entire neighborhood could hear.
