France,Mexico,South Africa,and Brazilvirtually everywhere that had pop music.Breakdancing caught the medias imagination,through news reports and the release of films such as Wild Style(1982)and Breakin(1984),and spread worldwide,especially in the United Kingdom,Canada,Japan,Germany,France,Russia,and South Korea.To this day,hip-hop has permeated many aspects of popular culture globally,leaving an indelible mark.What started at a young girls street party in the South Bronx in 1973 has become a global phenomenon.Poverty and the lack of means should have stopped hip-hops

Zealand.Much like the population of the South Bronx in the early 1970s,large numbers of Mori lived an impoverished life outside the mainstream of society when hip-hop arrived.They experienced more obstacles,higher levels of crime,health problems,and poorer education than the rest of society.The Mori people felt they were not represented in mainstream New Zealand media and culture.Hip-hop resonated strongly with them,and Maori bands such as Upper Hutt Posse and Third3ye embraced it as their own musical culture.Hip-Hop Goes GiobaiUpper Hutt PosseThird3ye3 Roots of Rap .4Born at the

crumbling infrastructure.The future was dim for many New Yorkers,particularly those in poor neighborhoods with few resources to begin with.Out of this poverty and decay,however,a new style of music would arise.One hot summer afternoon in 1973,teenager Cindy Campbell asked her sixteen-year-old brother Clive to DJ(disc jockey)a back-to-school jam.The party would take place on August 11 at 1520

dance records to keep the party moving,the MC grabbed the microphone and did call-and-response to excite and involve the crowd(MC:“Everybody say ho!”Audience:“HO!”).Rapping progressed rapidly from shouting out friends names and audience call-and-response to simple rhymes that worked well with the beat.A rapper was always judged by the content,flow,and delivery of his or her rap.The content covered a wide range of subjects,from clever,egotistical rhymes to social and political commentary everything was fair game.RapRun-DMC is considered one of the most influential hip-hop groups of all

stress a particular syllable of their lyric to match the beat.Good delivery indicated the mastery of the voice.This involved vocal presence(a unique,recognizable rapping voice),enunciation(clarity or

away from the pack.In the beginning,the rapper was just a part of the hip-hop party,adding flavor to the DJs mix of songs and getting the crowd more excited and involved.But once hip-hop records started becoming hugely popular,the rappers themselves became the stars.From the release of“Rappers Delight”by the Sugarhill Gang in 1979,raps first worldwide hit,through the present day,rap music has
