(Hip hop arose during the 1970s when block parties became common in New York City, especially the Bronx. Block parties were usually accompanied by music, especially funk and soul music. The early DJs at block parties began isolating the percussion breaks to hit songs, realizing that these were the most dance-able and entertaining parts; this technique was then common in Jamaica and had spread via the substantial Jamaican immigrant community in New York City, especially the "godfather" of hip hop, DJ Kool Herc.)

21st century version of Folk Music?
I don't think so...first of all, I don't understand what they are saying
Don't ya just LOVE when you pull up to a red light next to/or behind a W.S.K. "sharing" their Hip Hop with everybody within 1/2 mile of his (or her)base-enhanced, thumpin', "ride"? It's all I can do to not scream "I don't want to hear or feel your NOISE!" (They wouldn't be able to hear me, anyway) Do they honestly think everyone shares their taste in "music"? Aaggghhhh!!!
w.s.k?
