Hip-hop
is a cultural movement and music genre that emerged in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York. It blends rhythmic beats with rap, spoken-word lyrics, and DJing, often focusing on themes of social justice, identity, and street life. Hip-hop also encompasses breakdancing and graffiti art. Influential artists like Tupac, Jay-Z, and Kendrick Lamar have shaped the genre, pushing its impact far beyond music into global culture.
