Some funk songs, such as James Brown's 'Payback' (1974) are clearly predicting hip hop music and also speaking over the music was used extensively in funk, most notably on records produced by George Clinton. Early hip hop rhythms and (sampled) riffs were derived essentially from funk music. These songs were based on – 'breakbeat' DJing. Hip hop arose during the 1970s at block parties in New York City, at which the DJs began isolating the percussion breaks to hit funk, soul, R&B and disco songs. The years after 1993 contain the hardcore hip hop, bling, and underground genres, which largely define the modern era. The main historical eras of hip hop are the old school hip hop era (1970 to 1985), which spanned from the beginning of hip hop until its emergence into the mainstream, and the golden age hip hop era (1985 to 1993), which consolidated the sounds of the East Coast and the West Coast and transitioned into the modern era with the rise of gangsta rap and G-funk, created by the West Coast. Nevertheless, by the beginning of the 2000s, hip hop was a staple of popular music charts and was being performed in many styles across the world. In the 1990s, a form of hip hop called gangsta rap became a major part of American music, causing significant controversy over lyrics which were perceived as promoting violence, promiscuity, drug use and misogyny. By 1979, hip hop had become a commercially popular music genre and began to enter the American mainstream. Eventually this practice became more stylized and became known as rapping. MCs began by speaking between songs, giving exhortations to dance, greetings to audience members, jokes and anecdotes. The early role of the MC was to introduce the DJ and the music and to keep the audience excited. Hip hop began in The Bronx, a borough in New York City, when DJs began isolating the percussion break from funk and disco songs. Sometimes a track can be instrumental, as a showcase of the skills of the DJ or producer. In addition to the beat, other sounds are often sampled, synthesized, or performed. However, in recent years, it has become more common for the beat to be built up from individual drum samples. Historically, this beat has often been created using a sample of the percussion break of another song: usually funk and soul recordings have been utilized. The rapper is accompanied by an instrumental track, usually referred to as a ' beat,' performed by a DJ, created by a producer, or one or more instrumentalists. Typically, hip hop music consists of rhythmic lyrics making use of techniques like assonance, alliteration, and rhyme. Along with hip hop dance (notably breakdancing) and urban inspired art, or notably graffiti, these compose the four elements of hip hop, a cultural movement that was initiated by inner-city youth, mostly African Americans and Latinosin New York City, in the early 1970s. It consists of two main components: rapping ( MCing) and DJing ( production and scratching).
