BR 2-14: HIP HOP

I read a book today and the title of the book is HIP HOP, because my friends dance and their genre is hip hop. And when Takuma festival was hold, a lot of people danced on the stage. Most people danced hip hop. It was cool. I am also interested in dancing, so I want to learn to dance. I often listen to hip hop music. It is up-tempo. I often touch hip-hop, so I read.


In this book there were lots of surprises. The most surprising information is about starting of hip hop. “Hip hop started in the Bronx in New York in the 1970s” (Carmel, 2007, p.6). I thought that hip hop started about a hundred year ago, but it is wrong. And I have been to New York, so I’m happy to know about it.


This book explains about hip hop. When I went to New York, I saw something which relate hip hop. For example, these are breaking dance on the street, Graffiti arts. Especially, graffiti arts are great. I have seen them in Japan, but it is better than Japanese one. Hip hop is popular in Japan, but many people don’t know where it started, so I want many people to know about it. If you danced or are interested in this book, please read.
