Ok, I’m 51 Op, and your joke is flawed. There was no “Hip Hop” in the 70’s. And in the 80’s it was called rap. It wasn’t until at least the early or mid 90’s when the term Hip Hop was coined and ever really had any traction. So at best, Hip Hop is 30 and it’ll be dead before the next 20 years, cuz wtf is this current crap calling itself hip hop?
Rapper's Delight was released in 1979 and the lyrics were
I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie
To the hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rock
It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Now what you hear is not a test: I'm rappin' to the beat
https://youtu.be/tAnojTvyc0g
Just because it *mentions* hip hop doesn't mean it *is* hip hop.
Edit: OK, I realise this is a moot point, as it still proves that hip hop was around at the time.
This is just incorrect. The term hip hop goes back to at least 1979 with Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight.” Artists like DJ Cool Herc were already looping beats back then.
So sure maybe that’s more like 44 years ago. But I wouldn’t say that hip-hop didn’t exist just because most people just called it rap or whatever. All of the elements of what we call hip-hop were there, even the term.
Just because you didn’t personally become of aware of it as a mainstream cultural phenomenon, doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. Especially in the 80s. By the nineties, DJ Cool Herc, Sugar Hill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, etc., their most popular music was already a decade old and already giving way to new groups with different styles.
That would be like saying rock and roll didn’t exist until the sixties just because you personally feel that it wasn’t part of the mainstream culture until The Beatles were on Johnny Carson or something.
Rock and roll developed as R&B and jump blues combined and began to add a little "raunch" to it's sound (I know this is a simplification but it's a Saturday morning and I haven't had breakfast yet). There's a lot of discussion on what the first true "rock and roll" song was and I personally lean towards "Rocket '88" by Ike Turner's band the Kings of Rhythm (though it was credited to his sax player Jackie Brenston) due to the inclusion of distortion on the guitar and backbeat syncopation. There were earlier songs that came close, a few that even had the word "rock" in the title, but I think that "Rocket '88" pulled all of pieces together in just the right way.
https://youtu.be/260hXID0Yo0
No that’s not even close. Saying “hip-hop” existed because 14 people agree it started at this exact point and someone used the term is the dumbest fucking shit I’ve ever heard. And if you wanna use rock and roll as an example, ok, it’s like some people at a party in the roaring 20’s saying this music is rock & roll and then claiming rock n roll started in the 1920’s. The term wasn’t widely in use until the 1950’s. And the term hip-hop was not widely in use until the 1990’s. That’s the facts. Sorry if I offended the 14 of you that were using the term earlier.
I’m gonna leave this here for you, along with some recommended viewing:
Hip-hop music first developed in the United States in the 1970s and has steadily grown in popularity in the decades since then. This docuseries traces the genre's dynamic evolution from the beginning through the 1990s. It starts with a look at artists -- including Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash -- who laid the foundation early on, and then moves on to other influential groups like Run-DMC and Public Enemy. The show also explores differences in hip-hop on the East Coast compared to the West Coast.
That is the description from “Hip-Hop Evolution”, a documentary on Netflix, spans 4 seasons and tells the story of Hip Hop. You should try watching it and Educate yourself.
Whatever. I lived through the 70’s and 80’s. The only point I was making was that the term “hip-hop” wasn’t mainstream until the 90’s. That’s it. Nothing ekes. I grew up in S Fl, I knew more people from New York, New Jersey or from wherever in the Tri-State area than I knew people from Florida. I’m a baller to this day, I’m still beating my teenage kids and their friends at basketball and I’m in my 50’s. And everyone I knew, including the brothers on the basketball court called it rap until sometime in the 90’s. End of story. Just because there was someone calling it “hip-hop” sooner doesn’t mean everyone was back in the 70’s and 80’s. It wasn’t a thing no matter what some revisionist history show is telling you however old you are. I was there, peace.
Just because YOU called it rap, doesn’t mean it wasn’t called Hip Hop. It doesn’t make YOU right. I call a spatula an egg-lift, that don’t mean I’m right. Peace Out!!!
I didn’t call it rap, everyone else did. It’s ok, you can admit you’re wrong anytime. It’s alright. It’s ok to be wrong. I’ve been wrong before. At least a couple of times. What’s your beef? I’m huge into history and this is hardly where I’d draw the line on fake history, cuz there’s a ton of fake history being spread around these days. How old are you? Inquiring minds wanna know.
If you’d have read my initial response, you’d see that I’m 53.
I note that you’re from Florida, the state that wants to teach in schools that blacks benefitted from slavery. It all makes sense now, you Floridians make stuff up to suit your own agenda.
Are you trying to conflate me with the government of Florida? Wow that’s pretty hilarious. Although I personally could probably do a better job representing this entire state by myself, than every version of the Florida government in my entire lifetime. And I wasn’t even living here for half my life. I moved to Hawaii when I was 23. Was there almost 22 years and was in Dallas until last summer. But at least we can agree that Florida has an entirely fucked up government, lol. So what’s your thoughts on Himmy the Greek saying black athletes have an advantage in sports because of slavery? You’re old enough to remember that. My 14 year old son and I had an interesting conversation on that topic today, lol.
Ahhh....this argument kinda makes me think....were they Nazis when they hated everyone but didn't call themselves Nazis? Did they not exist as "Nazis" as we understand them to be until the whole world called them that? Or can we look at history and say "yes, this is where is started, this whole thing" even though we know that it didn't have a name until later.
Haha definitely not! What I was saying is that the nazi movement started long before the term nazi was in common usage. Same as Hip Hop, that movement didn't start when the term became common usage, it started far before that.
I was never denying you were right about that. All I was trying to say all along was that it wasn’t “mainstream”. So OP’s joke didn’t work. That’s all. Most people don’t know that traveling Hawaiian musicians influenced black blues musicians at the turn of the century, who eventually inspired early Rock pioneers who are now considered greats by most of the planet. Early hip hop wasn’t even close to mainstream. They were pioneering. Mainstream hip hop wasn’t a thing until the 90’s
I'm not familiar with hip-hop's origins but my guess is that probably the peer-reviewed article that says the cultural origins of hip-hop are in the 1970s is correct and you just don't know enough about it. Also apparently the term was coined in the 1950s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music
You must be talking about the hip-hop that was played in the suburbs on commercial radio stations. Have you never heard of DJ Herc or Afrika Bambaataa or The Rock Steady Crew. . Hip Hop wasn't just the music but the culture
Probably best to do some research before making such statements. From a 53 year old who was listening to Hip Hop from at least the early 80s and knew it existed before then.
I saw a one-man play, mostly rapped, that was loosely about the early days of hip hop. The story was fiction but it was based on real history. It focused on mid 70s Brooklyn, independent record shops, garage studios, small underground clubs. The scene was starting...even tho rappers didn't get big until the 80s.
So I believe the overall movement is 50, even though most people weren't aware of it until 10-15 years later.
Most genres are probably like this to some extent.
“What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet”
No doubt it wasn’t called hip-hop when it first emerged, but it’s the same genre of music. New age and older artists might conflict about when rap “became” hip-hop, but the genre is generally seen as the same.
But does it give accurate information about hip-hop in the 70s? The joke relies on the idea that the genre known as hip-hop started in 1973. The article doesn't claim there was no influence from earlier styles, it just points to the earliest recognition of the style.
Wasn't hip hop an outgrowth of disco? [Yeah, Wikipedia backs me up on this.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music)
It may have not reached mainstream popularity until the 90s. Kind of like when people hear Disco and their brains go to the 70s so that's when they assume it was invented but it actually started in the 60s.
Actually, hip-hop may be way older than any of us thought.
Little known fact: Albert Einstein was a musician throughout his life. He went through a phase where he experimented with hip hop.
His rapper name was ... MC squared.
If rapper's delight came out in 79, hip hop is only 44. Do love the song though and can't hear the song and not remember the old lady singing it, in the movie wedding singer. 😊
I'm reminded of an old Nick Swardson bit where he talks about he's going to be old as shit bumping Dr. Dre. It was on a Comedy Central Presents back when CC used to actually play a lot of actual comedy.

That was the 80s in Long Beach, CA
I put on an oldies radio station (K-Earth 101) the other day thinking I was going to listen to music from the 50s and 60s and they were playing Fugees (Killing Me Softly) and 2pac (Changes).
Incase watching a tiny desk concert with Cypress Hill yesterday and realized that since hip hop is new in our generation, we haven't really seen that genre age yet. Eventually they're will be a slew of older rappers out there in their 70s and 80s blaming the younger gen for ruining rap and trying to grandpa rap themselves.
I'm so sick of that crap. It all sounds the same. I wish it had never been created. Give me real singers with distinctive voices, good songs with lyrics, in bands playing actual instruments, no computer-generated beats. EDIT - Prince used to worry that future generations would think all music came from a computer. Here we are with this hip hop crap. Give me Prince any day of the week. That's real music.

I mean that's rap. It's called Rapper's Delight
The first line literally says hip hop
The fourth line says bang bang boogie. So it must be called bang bang boogie
Just because it *mentions* hip hop doesn't mean it *is* hip hop. Edit: OK, I realise this is a moot point, as it still proves that hip hop was around at the time.
Lol, now we can argue about bands that don't want to be labeled "trip hop"
The name of the song literally says rapper.
Because a rappers delight is hip hop
Rapper: noun. person who raps. Rap: noun or verb. Hip-Hop: noun. type of music.
Rap is a he music. Hip Hop is the culture.
but it was not hip hop, if you ever heard the actual song. agreed the style of hip hop became mainstream late 80s early 90s
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet.

Damn, now I want to know how rock started.
Rock and roll developed as R&B and jump blues combined and began to add a little "raunch" to it's sound (I know this is a simplification but it's a Saturday morning and I haven't had breakfast yet). There's a lot of discussion on what the first true "rock and roll" song was and I personally lean towards "Rocket '88" by Ike Turner's band the Kings of Rhythm (though it was credited to his sax player Jackie Brenston) due to the inclusion of distortion on the guitar and backbeat syncopation.

The 1952 hit "Rock Around the Clock" by Billy Haley and his Comets was originally marketed as a "foxtrot", which goes to show how reliable labels are.
That’s a really cool fact, and also makes a lot of sense because you could dance a mean foxtrot to it!

I’m drowning in “artists” these days, there’s no way I could ever find those groups if you hadn’t mentioned them.
Rap is part of hip hop music and scene. Rapping is the vocal style. Both are used generically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music
Actually, early years of hip hop are considered to be 1973-1979.

I'm around the same age and sadly the mid 90s were still 30 years ago.. :(
No.....you're wrong......the 90s was not long ago......I'm not old yet.....I'M NOT OLD YET!!!
You are correct! The 90s were just... oh my god... I may have gotten old.
current hip hop is still good you just have to find the right stuff
Yeah this article contradicts that. https://timeline.carnegiehall.org/genres/rap-hip-hop
That article is very US centric and completely misses the connection to Reggae and Dancehall.
