MCing and rapping performers moved back and forth between the predominance of songs packed with a mix of boasting, 'slackness' and sexual innuendo and a more topical, political, socially conscious style. The role of the MC originally was as a <a href="/wiki/Master_of_Ceremonies" class="mw-redirect" title="Master of Ceremonies">Master of Ceremonies</a> for a DJ dance event. The MC would introduce the DJ and try to pump up the audience. The MC spoke between the DJ's songs, urging everyone to get up and dance. MCs would also tell jokes and use their energetic language and enthusiasm to rev up the crowd. Eventually, this introducing role developed into longer sessions of spoken, rhythmic wordplay, and rhyming, which became rapping. </p><p>By 1979, hip hop music had become a mainstream genre.

This form of music playback, using hard funk and rock, formed the basis of hip hop music. Campbell's announcements and exhortations to dancers would lead to the syncopated, rhymed spoken accompaniment now known as rapping. He dubbed his dancers "break-boys" and "break-girls", or simply "b-boys" and "b-girls". According to Herc, "breaking" was also street slang for "getting excited" and "acting energetically".<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>63<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:1520_Sedwick_Ave.,_Bronx,_New_York1.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/1520_Sedwick_Ave.%2C_Bronx%2C_New_York1.JPG/180px-1520_Sedwick_Ave.%2C_Bronx%2C_New_York1.JPG" decoding="async" width="180" height="240" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/1520_Sedwick_Ave.%2C_Bronx%2C_New_York1.JPG/270px-1520_Sedwick_Ave.%2C_Bronx%2C_New_York1.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/1520_Sedwick_Ave.%2C_Bronx%2C_New_York1.JPG/360px-1520_Sedwick_Ave.%2C_Bronx%2C_New_York1.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2736" data-file-height="3648" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/1520_Sedgwick_Avenue" title="1520 Sedgwick Avenue">1520 Sedgwick Avenue</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Bronx" title="The Bronx">the Bronx</a>, a venue used by Kool Herc that is often considered the birthplace of hip hop on August 11, 1973<sup id="cite_ref-HercHistory_52-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HercHistory-52"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-64" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-64"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></figcaption></figure> <p>DJs such as <a href="/wiki/Grand_Wizzard_Theodore" title="Grand Wizzard Theodore">Grand Wizzard Theodore</a>, <a href="/wiki/Grandmaster_Flash" title="Grandmaster Flash">Grandmaster Flash</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Jazzy_Jay" title="Jazzy Jay">Jazzy Jay</a> refined and developed the use of breakbeats, including cutting and scratching.<sup id="cite_ref-65" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-65"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>65<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> As turntable manipulation continued to evolve a new technique that came from it was needle dropping.

The first full-length Jamaican DJ record was a duet on a Rastafarian topic by Kingston ghetto dwellers U-Roy and Peter Tosh named <i>Righteous Ruler</i> (produced by <a href="/wiki/Lee_%22Scratch%22_Perry" title="Lee &quot;Scratch&quot; Perry">Lee "Scratch" Perry</a> in 1969). The first DJ hit record was <i>Fire Corner</i> by Coxsone's Downbeat sound system DJ, <a href="/wiki/King_Stitt" title="King Stitt">King Stitt</a> that same year; 1970 saw a multitude of DJ hit records in the wake of U-Roy's early, massive hits, most famously <i>Wake the Town</i> and many others. As the tradition of remix (which also started in Jamaica where it was called 'version' and 'dub') developed, established young Jamaican DJ/rappers from that period, who had already been working for sound systems for years, were suddenly recorded and had many local hit records, widely contributing to the reggae craze triggered by Bob Marley's impact in the 1970s. The main Jamaican DJs of the early 1970s were <a href="/wiki/King_Stitt" title="King Stitt">King Stitt</a>, <i>Samuel the First</i>, Count Machuki, Johnny Lover (who 'versioned' songs by <a href="/wiki/Bob_Marley_and_the_Wailers" title="Bob Marley and the Wailers">Bob Marley and the Wailers</a> as early as 1971), Dave Barker, Scotty, Lloyd Young, Charlie Ace and others, as well as soon-to-be reggae stars <a href="/wiki/U-Roy" title="U-Roy">U-Roy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Alcapone" title="Dennis Alcapone">Dennis Alcapone</a>, <a href="/wiki/I-Roy" title="I-Roy">I-Roy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Prince_Jazzbo" title="Prince Jazzbo">Prince Jazzbo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Prince_Far_I" title="Prince Far I">Prince Far I</a>, <a href="/wiki/Big_Youth" title="Big Youth">Big Youth</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dillinger_(musician)" title="Dillinger (musician)">Dillinger</a>.

The Jamaican DJ dance music was deeply rooted in the sound system tradition that made music available to poor people in a very poor country where live music was only played in clubs and hotels patronized by the middle and upper classes.

Youssef Soukouna n'était à l'origine même pas dévoué au rap. Là ou il témoigne d'un talent précoce en rédigeant ses premières rimes assez tôt, c'est d'avantage sa maîtrise du ballon rond qui le caractérise. Toutefois membre d'un groupe local avec ses amis Baba et Kuamen(NCC: Nouveaux Clandés de la Cité, puis rebaptisé New City Connection) en parallèle, il délaissera finalement le sport afin de se consacrer pleinement à son activité artistique. A Londres, puisqu'il s'entrainait au centre de formation d'Arsenal, il se blesse grièvement au genoux et rentre à Paris. Quittant également NCC, il décide de s'immerger pleinement dans le rap. C'est l'occasion d'enchaîner plusieurs apparitions, notamment aux côtés de Rohff sur Code 187 (album "La Fierté des Nôtres").</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.jtitle=Hip+Hop+Corner%3A+Actu+rap+fran%C3%A7ais%2C+US+et+culture&amp;rft.atitle=Sefyu%3A+Retour+sur+la+carri%C3%A8re+du+rappeur+d%27Aulnay&amp;rft.date=2017-07-04&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fhiphopcorner.fr%2Fmais-quest-devenu-sefyu-chronique%2F&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHip+hop+music" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-300"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-300">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1 cs1-prop-foreign-lang-source"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://visittampere.fi/article/blockfest">"Blockfest 2016"</a>. <i>Visit Tampere</i> (in Finnish).
