Never really gotten into hip hop music before. Why do people listen to it? What's popular about it? Who are some key figures? Anything you can tell me there?
Hip hop was developed in the 1970s, and has a stylized rhythm.  It's quite similar to rap.  To be honest, I prefer rock music.
Ah, I understand. That's alright. But you seem to have some history on it. Anything you can tell me about its popularity or key figures?
Keith Cowboy of The Furious Five may have been the first person to use the term.
I would have never known that. What's another fun fact?
AT first, hip hop wasn't accepted outside of the ghetto, and didn't hit radio or television until 1979.
Ah, I see, what else can you tell me?
Block parties in New York City during the 1970s helped hip-hop rise in popularity, especially amongst young people.
