<P> Keith "Cowboy" Wiggins, a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, has been credited with coining the term in 1978 while teasing a friend who had just joined the US Army by scat singing the made - up words "hip / hop / hip / hop" in a way that mimicked the rhythmic cadence of marching soldiers . Cowboy later worked the "hip hop" cadence into his stage performance . The group frequently performed with disco artists who would refer to this new type of music by calling them "hip hoppers". The name was originally meant as a sign of disrespect, but soon came to identify this new music and culture . </P> <P> The song "Rapper's Delight", by The Sugarhill Gang, released in 1979, begins with the phrase "I said a hip, hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, and you don't stop". Lovebug Starski--a Bronx DJ who put out a single called "The Positive Life" in 1981--and DJ Hollywood then began using the term when referring to this new disco rap music . Bill Alder, an independent consultant, once said, "There was hardly ever a moment when rap music was underground, one of the very first so - called rap records, was a monster hit (" Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang on Sugarhill Records). Hip hop pioneer and South Bronx community leader Afrika Bambaataa also credits Lovebug Starski as the first to use the term "hip hop", as it relates to the culture . Bambaataa, former leader of the Black Spades, also did much to further popularize the term . The words "hip hop" first appeared in print on September 21, 1982, in The Village Voice in a profile of Bambaataa written by Steven Hager, who also published the first comprehensive history of the culture with St. Martins' Press . </P> <P> In the 1970s, an underground urban movement known as "hip hop" began to develop in the Bronx, New York City . It focused on emceeing (or MCing) over "breakbeats", house parties and neighbourhood block party events, held outdoors . Hip hop music has been a powerful medium for protesting the impact of legal institutions on minorities, particularly police and prisons . Historically, hip hop arose out of the ruins of a post-industrial and ravaged South Bronx, as a form of expression of urban Black and Latino youth, whom the public and political discourse had written off as marginalized communities . Jamaican - born DJ Clive "Kool Herc" Campbell pioneered the use of DJing percussion "breaks" in hip hop music . Beginning at Herc's home in a high - rise apartment at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, the movement later spread across the entire borough . Herc created the blueprint for hip hop music and culture by building upon the Jamaican tradition of impromptu toasting, a spoken type of boastful poetry and speech over music . On August 11, 1973 DJ Kool Herc was the DJ at his sister's back - to - school party . He extended the beat of a record by using two record players, isolating the percussion "breaks" by using a mixer to switch between the two records . Herc's experiments with making music with record players became what we now know as breaking or "scratching". </P> <P> A second key musical element in hip hop music is emceeing (also called MCing or rapping). Emceeing is the rhythmic spoken delivery of rhymes and wordplay, delivered at first without accompaniment and later done over a beat . This spoken style was influenced by the African American style of "capping", a performance where men tried to outdo each other in originality of their language and tried to gain the favor of the listeners . The basic elements of hip hop--boasting raps, rival "posses" (groups), uptown "throw - downs", and political and social commentary--were all long present in African American music . MCing and rapping performers moved back and forth between the predominance of toasting 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 Master of Ceremonies 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>
