Hip hop is a musical genre and cultural movement that developed in New York, United States in the 1970s and later became popular worldwide. Hip hop bands generally consist of rappers (vocalists who sing in a hip hop style) and DJs (who mix music and produce beats).
Hip hop music is generally characterized by a strong rhythm, marked by beats and samples, which are often taken from other pieces of music or other sound sources. Hip hop is also known for its use of turntablism, which involves manipulating vinyl records to create unique sound effects.
In general, hip hop bands are known for their creativity, energy and originality, and have a strong impact on pop culture and society in general.
