The history of hip hop is one that was born upon the back of a group of silenced youth. Inner city youth felt that not only were they not getting a fair shake at a quality life but that they weren't even being heard. Our history shows that when expression is suppressed something bad, usually aggressive is about to follow. In the case of hip hop thankfully the aggression wasn't expressed in the form of violence but rather in a movement that would change not only the urban areas close to its birth but our society as a whole! Persian Rap Hip Hop In the beginning, hip hop wasn't even regarded as hip hop. In the mid to late 70s young black and Latino youths from the Bronx were looking for a way to express themselves and started to have open microphones at house parties which they would use to perform a type of poetry over any song that was currently playing. This was the creation of rap music. Although rapping may seem easy to a novice the fact of the matter was not everyone had the talent to express themselves in this manner. So another form of self expression related to rap was born in the form of break dancing. People could be found not only at parties but on street corners with nothing more then a boom box and a piece of cardboard, dancing for self expression and even for money in some cases. The last form of expression is the most controversial one! Some youth couldn't rap nor could they dance but they had to find an outlet or a way in which they can also be a part of this movement. What they did have was the ability to draw. This art form which to most is considered graffiti was now renamed "tagging" in the hip hop community. Whether you agree with the way in which they went about showing off their talent, no one can take away the fact that they truly were talented. Tagging was when the artist of one clique or crew would create a symbol or phrase that was now his group's logo and spray paint this on subway trains. Why subway trains and not just walls? Well, the fact that the subway system ran throughout the city was advertisement of his crew to the other respective crews. It became a game in the sense that if you could place your tag over top another groups tag you would have essentially performed the hip hop version of a check mate!

Some may argue the message that some hip hop sends but the fact that these men and women are artists is not even debatable. Hip hop was a feeling much before it ever became a means of expression and it will stay a way of life long after all of the forms expression is gone! Persian Hip Hop
