What is Real Hip-Hop part:1

What is Real Hip-Hop part:1(THE POST MODERN ERA)
What is REAL HIP-HOP? We all know that the Hip-Hop culture is a state of mind.. including, rapping, scratching, break-dancing, graffiti, music, and fashion. The “culture” of Hip-Hop began in the late 70’s & early 80’s in New York City, evolving from street block parties where DJs would put on instrumentals and rappers would rap over them, challenging each other to see who was the best by either rocking the party, story telling, or battle rapping. Some say KOOL HERC,(Who most say is the rightful GODFATHER of Hip-Hop), GRANDMASTER FLASH and AFRIKA BAMBAATAA started it all, as “THE HOLY TRINITY” of Hip-Hop. Some say BDP vs. THE JUICE CREW started it all with Brooklyn vs. the South Bronx. But… it was in fact all of them INCLUDING other’s such as KOOL KEITH, THE SUGAR HILL GANG, KURTIS BLOW, RUN-DMC, WHODINI, U.T.F.O., L.L.COOL.J, KOOL MOE .D AND THE TRECHEROUS 3, and yes even THE FAT BOY’S who all subsequently started it all together, coming from this “generalized area” as they rapped and scratched about parting, having fun and what was happening on the streets of their neighborhoods and their lives.
