Techo-Art?
Is technology going to take over art?
Technology is the worlds fastest innovation to modern society and seems to be growing only faster and faster.. So...
What happens to art? Not only art as in painting, drawing, or sketching...
But art as in the collective!
Music, DAnce, ACTing, ILLUSTrating, and MORE!
If technology take over these forms of art, how can we as a people progress?

Urban & Graffiti Arts
Urban Art looks and feels like graffiti right?
Graffiti looks like Urban Art.
So what are the key differences?
Urban Art has more of an image based design while Graffiti has more of a word based design.
Graffiti also can be used for recognition or attention to an artist or gang, while Urban Art is just an organized abstract expression of art.
Here are some examples:
URBAN ART
GRAFFITI
Now while Urban Art and Graffiti may have their differences, they are still both considered street art. But- it is important to now your differences.

Hip Hop Movement
Your own body has movement in music. Whether you know it or not- your body is always moving and creating a rhythm.
Your heart beating in a certain pattern-
Your leg/foot tapping to pass time-
You cracking your knuckles-
Even kissing your teeth-
All of these moments create a sound and whether you know it or not, that hip hop.
Hip hop is not just the modern music we hear today, it's more of a culture. Being able to hear all of the sounds a body could make and turning it into a "chant" or a "song" is of an ancient African time. Tribes would often use their bodies to create sound or music as a culture or tradition. Before there were drums and auto percussions, there were slaps, taps, and mouths.
hm... mouths? like beatboxing?
YES! Just like that. That ti-ti-ti-tat-ti-ti-ti-ti-tat is beatboxing.
Or in other words ancient hip hop with the movement of your mouth (& body).

MCing
*Drops the Mic*
What is MCing?
What is MCing?
Old school rap that makes you feel a gangster personality.
A way of spreading a message to a group of people on stage.
Yeah. It's a way of spreading encouraging messages in a rhythmic flow using emphasis on certain words, rhyming organically and not to a specific pattern, and knowledge beyond reach for effective vocabulary.
MCing is such an art that some have even went as far as learning the entire dictionary to gain knowledge and leverage on their rhymes.

What is Go-Go Music?
That ..^.. is Go-Go.
This type of music, like said in the video, has a funkadelic sound mixed with Latin drums.
Go-Go bands bring out the soul of the person and uses elements such as call and response, role call, syncopated polyrhythms, and a vast use of percussion instruments.
Go-Go Music's home is the capital of the United States (Washington D.C.) and it is a beautiful sound. Especially in-person.

The Elements of Hip Hop
Boom, Bap = Sound
Boom Bap Bap . . . Boom Bap Bap . . . Boom Bap Bap . . .-
1 234 1 234 1 234
= Beat
Do you know the elements of Hip Hop and what it takes to make or recognize the beat?
Well... it takes:
MCing (rapping): The art of rhythmic speech, often improvised to express yourself.
DJing: The skill of selecting and mixing records to create beats and rhythms.
Breakdancing (B-boying/B-girling): A deep physical and emotional style of dance involving acrobatic moves and floorwork.
Graffiti: A visual form of art using spray paints or markers to create designs on walls.
Knowledge: The understanding and appreciation of hip hop culture, its history, and its social and political significance.

The Origin of Hip-Hop
Soo... hip hop. It had a huge impact on the African American culture and has transcended all over the world.
But- where did this vibrant tapestry come from?
Africa. Yes. It started in Africa and came about through the tribal chants and rhythmic storytelling in their everyday life. The slave trade ultimately carried the different cultures to the U.S. giving the Bronx, NY a new, emerging sound. A blend of the African, Jamaican, and Afro culture = Hip Hop.
BOOM!
DJs, Scratching, Mixing, Masking, MCs, and many more talents came about. So the next time someone asks you how hip hop came along and changed the world, tell them where it began. The Motherland.

Usually in 𝓗𝓲𝓹-𝓗𝓸𝓹 and 𝓡𝓷𝓑, they say the best die young. Iv’e always believed in that 𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔫𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔬𝔫 because so many of my favorite authentic artists have passed.
The industry seems to forget these artist who lost their lives generally changed the game. Now, there are rappers who don’t speak full words- but ᧁⅈ᥇᥇ꫀ𝕣ⅈડꫝ.. and artist who only sing about 𝕊𝕖𝕩.
