Genesis
Hip hop is best known as music flow, but for the members of the hip hop subculture usually goes beyond just making music. Hold up a mirror to society can be one of the aspects that hip-hoppers like to bring out. Different texts of hip-hop songs are therefore an indictment of society in General, or the life situation of the rapper in particular.

It was partly for this reason that hip-hop could give a voice to a certain part of the American underclass, especially the African American community that traditionally lived in the ghetto's of American cities, but later also to other ethnic populations, and no longer available in the United States. Hip hop was thus part of an emancipation movement of the residents of the ghettos, and this origin has a mark on hip hop culture in a broad sense.

Hip hop began in the United States, in downtown New York City. [1]  hip hop is probably originated from dub[2]  but was a private flow in The Bronx during so-called block parties (district events). This also has a major impact on rap music. Examples include Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang Clan, Ice-T and Jay Z.

On the block parties in the 1970s, mixed DJ'ssuch as DJ Kool Herc, with two copies of the same funk- electro-plate or the drum solos (or break downs) to each other. If the breakdown (or break) on the first plate ended, they mixed the second copy through it and so on. In this way created a new song using only drums, where the djscratchte over it.

The MC (Master of Ceremony) or rapper is the Executive artist. Many artists names of rappers start with "MC" (pronounced em-sie). The origin of rapping is located in the toasting, which meant a kind of half singing talking or cancel a number more or less rhyming.

Breakdance and graffiti are two supporting art forms. The first is a form of dance, the second is creating visual works of art using spray cans. Graffiti is often sprayed on walls in public space, making it also considered as nuisance.

Turntablism at his tight transitions not enough (as in beat mixes). The techniques (such as cutting, scratching, spinning and juggling) are much more important. A translation of turntablism is: one who uses the turntable in the spirit of a musical instrument, that is to say: ' someone who a turntable used in the spirit of a musical instrument '.

Over the years many older hiphopliefhebbers are pulled out, because they felt that hip hop is no longer the ' vibe ' that the genre had ever owned.

Netherlands
The Amsterdam group Osdorp Posse was in the early 1990s at the base of the Dutch-speaking rap. Before that time there were already some novelty hits in which was performed in the Dutch, but the Osdorp Posse was the first group that focused on pure rap (hardcorerap). This raw style was developed in America in the mid-1980s by groups like Public Enemy. Rapper Def P, the foreman of the Osdorp Posse, translated for friends who English is not so good in the Dutch controlled the texts of American hip hop music. It literally converting clichés delivered a comic effect on. This was the Dutch hip hop is born.

The Dutch-speaking rap (Dutch hip hop) got firmer foothold by Extince, who had a hit in 1995 with Speech water. With the advent of Ghost riders, brainpower, Opgezwolle, DAC and 0118-Four it came to a further growth of the Dutch hip hop.

Belgium
The Krapoel In Axe from Aarschot group, commonly known as the early nineties K.I.A., stood at the base of the Flemish-speaking part of rap. They are in their own regional language rapten and to this day the commercially most successful Flemish rap group remained. Their first single, Saturday, more than 30,000 copies sold and their debut album Without Boe or Ba went more than 15,000 copies. But also in Flandersbrought Osdorp Posse a few hiphopfanaten to writing. The Mechelse group ABN, then still with Pita, did well in Belgium and was even allowed to take office on the famous festival of Rock Werchter. At the end of 1995 there were likewise in Mechelen Grensloos Rijme, Pure Cult, and Steep that Nest. In addition, there are 't Hof van Commerce, The Nihilists, The Feesters and dead, which it with their West-Flemish dialect do well in Belgium.

By their success in recent years, more and more groups are active in the Walloon hip-hop scene. These groups are mostly composed of foreigners, especially people with a Congolese, Moroccan and other background.
