Extended data:

The origin of hip-hop culture;

1959, the new York city government decided to build a expressway through the Bronx where immigrants live. This huge project will bring long-term inconvenience and even chaos to the residents here, so some families with better economic conditions in the poor Bronx decided to move out.

1968, the new York city government once again decided to build a large-scale condominium on the northern edge of the Bronx, and other capable families also moved into this apartment. In less than ten years, the Bronx has become a poor and shabby slum, and its former prosperity has gradually been replaced by crime, drugs and unemployment.

From 65438 to 0973, Jamaican immigrant Kool Herc, who lived in the Bronx West Street, often held "music parties" at home. He often plays some jazz, r&; B. funk

Compared with disco, which was popular in the United States at the same time, Huck's music was closer to the real life of slum people, and his party was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, Herc decided to move the party outdoors, and created an original method of repeatedly playing wonderful clips on the same record with two phonographs, so as to keep the party atmosphere at a climax.
