Stylistically, southern rap relies on exuberant production and direct lyrics typically about the southern lifestyle, trends, attitudes. Hill's brilliant songwriting flourished from song to song, whether she was grappling with spirituality "Final Hour," "Forgive Them, Father" or stroking sexuality without exploiting it "Nothing Even Matters". According to a TIME magazine article, Wrangler was set to launch a collection called "Wrapid Transit," and Van Doren Rubber was putting out a special version of its Vans wrestling shoe designed especially for breaking [source: Koepp ]. Another key element that's helping spread the hip-hop word is the Internet. Late Edition East Coast. Most hip-hop historians speak of four elements of hip-hop: tagging graffiti , b-boying break dancing , emceeing MCing and rapping. Taking Hip-Hop Seriously. Related Content " ". Regardless, the Bay Area has enjoyed a measurable amount of success with their brainchild. And then, in the mid to late s, there was a resurgence in the popularity of breaking in the United States, and it has stayed within sight ever since. Depending on how old you are, when someone says "hip-hop dance," you could picture the boogaloo, locking, popping, freestyle, uprocking, floor- or downrocking, grinding, the running man, gangsta walking, krumping, the Harlem shake or chicken noodle soup. Another thing to clear up is this: If you think hip-hop and rap are synonymous, you're a little off the mark.

  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

  • How Breakdancing Taught Me to Be a Technical Artist
    How breakdancing taught me to be a technical artist Robbert-Jan Brems Technical Artist Codemasters Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Robbert-Jan Brems. I'm currently technical artist at Codemasters and here to present you my talk : “How breakdancing taught me to be a technical artist” I only have been working as a professional technical artist in the video game industry for just over a year, but I have been breakdancing for almost nine years, and dancing for almost seventeen. The reason I am telling you this will become more apparent later on. Just out of curiosity, are there any breakdancers in this room? Well, the good news is that you do not need any breakdance related experiences to understand this talk. The main reason why I wanted to do this talk was because I have the feeling that as a person it is really easy to be looking through the same window as everybody else. What I mean with that is when we follow the same route to find knowledge as everybody else, we end up knowing the same things while missing out on other potentially important knowledge. By telling you my life story as a breakdancer and a game developer I want to illustrate how I reflect the knowledge that I obtained through breakdancing to my profession as a technical artist. So, the goal of my talk is to hopefully inspire people to start looking for knowledge by looking at learning from a different perspective. Once upon a time ... I started dancing when I was around 7 years old.

The older dance styles that were created in the 1970s include up-rock, breaking, and the funk styles. At the same time breaking was developing in New York, other styles were being created in California. Several street dance styles created in California in the 1970s such as roboting, bopping, hitting, locking, bustin', popping, electric boogaloo, strutting, sac-ing, and dime-stopping. It is historically inaccurate to say that the funk styles were always considered hip-hop. "Hip-Hop Dance" became an umbrella term encompassing all of these styles. Tempo of the Music: Tempo: 27 - 28 bars per minute (108 - 112 beats per minute) Characteristics and Movement: Different new dance styles, such as Quick Popping Crew, Asian style, African style, Hype Dance, New-Jack-Swing, Popping & Locking, Jamming, etc., adding creative elements such as stops, jokes, flashes, swift movements, etc. Some Electric and Break movements can be performed but should not dominate. Floor figures are very popular but should not dominate the performance.

Hip hop dance has taken many forms throughout its four decades ofexistence. This research shows that regardless ofthe form there are three prominent characteristics: performance, personal style, and competition. Although it is possible to isolate the study ofeach ofthese characteristics, they are inseparable when defining hip hop dance. There are several genre-specific performance formats in which hip hop dance is experienced. Personal style includes the individuality and creativity that is celebrated in the hip hop dancer. Competition is the inherent driving force that pushes hip hop dancers to extend the form's physical limitations.
