Hip Hop Word Search
This hip hop word search holds forty words from the first Bronx block party on: the rapper and the deejay, the turntable and the breakbeat, the cypher and the freestyle, the mixtape, graffiti, and names like Tupac and Eminem.
Hip hop started at a party. On August 11, 1973, Clive Campbell, known as DJ Kool Herc, played a back-to-school party for his sister in the recreation room of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx. He saw that dancers waited for the break, the short drum part of a funk record, so he bought two copies of the same record and switched between them on two turntables to stretch it out. The dancers who took over that stretch became b-boys and b-girls, and the four elements of hip hop were in place: the DJ, the MC, breaking and graffiti.
Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang came out in 1979 and was the first rap single to reach the Top 40. In 1986 Run DMC remade Walk This Way with Aerosmith, and their song My Adidas won them a sneaker deal of their own. Def Jam began in a college dorm room, where Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons put out its first records. In 2018 Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his album DAMN., the first winner from outside classical music and jazz.
