The creation of the hip-hop

The roots of the hip shop go back to Bronx, New York, where DJ Kool Herc organized a legendary block party in 1973 and thus created the movement. This culture includes raps, djing, break dance and graffiti, and whenever the topic of hip-hop is taken up, the groundbreaking contributions from artists such as Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff should not be missing. As explained Deutschlandfunk Kultur , hip-hop quickly developed from its modest beginnings in the districts of New York to a global youth culture that not only based on dancing young people, but also into a platform for social criticism was.

Since the publication of "Rapper’s Delight" in 1979, which became known worldwide and recorded the disco feeling at the time, hip-hop culture has grown rapidly and takes on various forms. That does not change: towards the end of the 90s, the Gangsta rap experienced an upswing, while artists like the Fantastischen Vier and Torch also made hip-hop popular in Germany. Since then, the German scene has diversified with actors such as Fettes Bread and Peter Fox and today plays a central role in the music world.

His combination of experiences in the film and music could herald a new chapter for his career and hip-hop culture in general. It remains to be seen whether we will soon hear hits from the "Fresh Prince", but no matter what is happening - Will Smith always has a good knack for exciting projects.
