The genre of my magazine will be 'Hip Hop'
Hip Hop is a large music genre which was created African American and Latino teenagers during the 1970s within the poor areas of America , primarily New York City, as a way to entertain others and themselves. The first rap song ever released (Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang) surprisingly became a top ten hit and then an interest in rapping and hip hop was born.
Recently hip hop has become a subculture as well as a music genre and has spawned many other sub-genres such as Trap, Grime and Alternative Hip Hop amongst many more. These genres have gone on to become very popular genres within their own right however they are still classified under hip hop.
In the past (and still presently), the main influential and known people within hip hop were rappers such as RUN DMC, Jay- Z, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, N.W.A, Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott amongst many more. Presently, influential people are people like Drake, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Eminem, J.Cole and Nicki Minaj amongst many more.
