Leaders in the creation
Creation of the term hip hop is often credited to Keith Cowboy, rapper with Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.[17] However, Lovebug Starski, Keith Cowboy, and DJ Hollywoodused the term when the music was still known as disco rap. It is believed that Cowboy created the term while teasing a friend who had just joined the U.S. Army, by scat singingthe words "hip/hop/hip/hop" in a way that mimicked the rhythmic cadence of soldiers marching.[17] Cowboy later worked the "hip hop" cadence into a part of his stage performance, which was quickly used by other artists such as The Sugarhill Gang in "Rappers delight."
Creation
Hip hop dancing is thought to have officially begun in New York City during the late 1960s and early 70s. During this time, individuals without professional dance training but with a natural instinct for movement, brought dancing to the streets.
