Hip Hop is born at a birthday party in the Bronx - Aug 11,
1973 - HISTORY.com
DJ
Kool Herc - Wikipedia
Clive Campbell, born 16 April 1955, better known by his
stage name DJ Kool Herc, is a
Jamaican American DJ who
is credited with originating
hip hop music in the
early 1970s in
The Bronx, New York City.
His playing of
hard funk records of the
sort typified by
James Brown was an
alternative both to the violent gang culture of the Bronx and to the nascent
popularity of
disco in the 1970s.
Campbell began to isolate the instrumental portion of the record, which
emphasized the drum beat—the "break"—and
switch from one break to another.
Using the same two turntable set-up of
disco DJs, Campbell used
two copies of the same record to elongate the break. This
breakbeat DJing, using
hard funk and records with Latin percussion, formed the basis of hip hop music.
Campbell's announcements and exhortations to dancers helped lead to the
syncopated, rhymed spoken accompaniment now known as
rapping. He called his
dancers "break-boys" and "break-girls", or simply
b-boys and b-girls.
Campbell's DJ style was quickly taken up by figures such as
Afrika Bambaataa and
Grandmaster Flash.
