Background • Rap and hip-hop music as we know it today actually began thousands of years ago in Africa with the “griots”! • The griot was , still is, a major form of communication in parts of Africa. • This “talking” while music is playing is rap music in its most rudimentary form. • When the slaves would attend religious services, this call and response trend continued and prevailed in churches even after slavery ended. Often, the minister would make the "call" and the congregation was responsible for the "response." This call and answer trend can be found in early rap music all the way up to current rap music. The DJ would call out "Can I get a Woo Woo?" and the response would of course come back as "Woo Woo" from the people listening. • Then in 1978, a year in which the American musical did not seem to be evolving in any direction, in New York City, two deejays, DJ Hollywood and DJ KoolHerc, had had enough with the aging disco scene. • ” In the summer of 1979, rap broke out with “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang.
