Hip Hop Culture by Emmett G. Price pg1-72

Summary
Hip Hop originated in Jamaica, but was introduced in Bronx New York by Dj Kool Herc. He was known as the father of hip hop and started djing in his basement. Dj Kool Herc would play his music loud and people would walk by, liking what they heard. That eventually lead to B-boying, which is a form of dance. Specific types of B-boying is popping, hand glides, and the 4 step. Instead of resulting to violence, many young black and latino boys batteled it out on the dance floor. Others used it as a way to express themselves.

Quote
"Herc Pioneered the break beat movement by mixing short percussion breaks with 2 turntables to extend the breaks for the people and the BBoys to get down." (Price 26).

Reaction
This made me think about the difference in old school hip hop because the breaks in their beats are longer. Many new forms of hip hop dancing come out so the beats have to shift to match them.
