Hip-Hop came from New York 19 Centuries 60’s.From the word Hip-Hop can we know the meaning which is like dance. Hip-Hop just has been through so many years  ,nowadays,Hip-Hop is becoming a sort of attitude, fashion ,music and sport so on.
Hip-Hop was came from street. Black people have no a truly better life than most white people, they are living in the ghetto ,or we can say hood. They have no enough money to pay the ticket for club, so they are dancing on the street, t hey have no money to play basketball in the park, so they are playing on the street ,they are also like to singing on the street ,so many elements was combined then to be the Hip-Hop.

“To me ,Hip-Hop is really important. Especially the music, which we call rap.”Jeanguy Said.
“A rap has beat ,sometimes it also has some DJ scratching. Rap has so many genre, which are gangster, hardcore, old school and west side or east side. Everybody think that rap is full of sex ,cash and violence but they have no seen the essence of rap.”
Jeanguy is a black guy who intends to be a rapper, he focus on it so hard, concentrate his spirits in every single second. “A famous rapper Eminem who only had 2 dollars in the Christmas day before he came to be famous but he ain’t quit ,he was trying so hard, finally he got a shot, he seized that opportunity. Now he is a billionaire.”Jeanguy is just like Eminem ,he left France for China to hold Hiphop shows in Dalian, he now works in Beijing.

Mentioned the influence of Hiphop to our lives, he gives me three points.

 

1. Dressing style

In China,You can see more and more teenagers wearing loose T – shirt and jeans, a pair of cool basketball shoes and a hiphop cap on his head. The hip-hop culture lovers and others formed a sharp contrast.

2. The selection of music

Those who like hip-hop music people often hold a negative attitude towards China-pop and K-pop. They always like the songs full of the strong rhythm, emotions.

3. Attitude to life

Most of them pursue hedonism and gratification, like to live in the present .Express the dissatisfaction to the social problems as they realize there is one.
In the end, Jeanguy told me:“Hip-Hop has changed people’s live and it has a extremely big impact to us. If you all think that Hip-Hop is dressed ridiculous and it is all about negative things, you are all wrong. Dressed like a Hip-Hop or act like a Hip-Hop that does not mean anything ,Hip-Hop is more about what is the way which you are going to take that  can make your life diffirently and more better. No matter what is the issues ,you will confront it,never and ever surrender to it .Anyway, Hip-Hop may not means so much to you but it surely means to much to me.”

Look back to the history of Korean popular music, there are four important periods: the early K-pop, the turning point of k-pop, the birth of the Korean wave, and the global k-pop.

Begin talking about K-pop, we should know some of its history. The history of K-pop music can be traced back to 1885 when an American missionary, Henry Appenzeller started teaching American and British folk songs at a school. At this time, the western music started enter into Korea and started influencing Korean music. From one perspective, this is the originating of K-pop.

At the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s, Korean pop music has a very important change. Because people in this time, unlike their predecessors who had to experience war and Japanese oppression. Additionally, these young musicians were heavily influenced by American culture and lifestyle. So they had a more open and free mind, and their music pay more attention to fun and self entertaining.

Different time has different fashion cycle, for example: in the 1970s, DJs started to become popular, but 10 years later, the era of ballads become more popular. Because of more and more different kinds of music come into vogue in Korea, the k-pop started blooming.

There was a time has to mention. In the 1990s, early Korean pop musicians mixed American popular music styles like rap, rock in their music. The Seo Taiji & Boys brought a true turning point in the history of K-pop. The lyrics of Seo Taiji & Boys dealt with the problems of Korean society, which other entertainers of the era failed to do. And their sound paved the way for the “success format” of K-pop songs. In other hand, the 1990s were also a successful period for underground music clubs, punk rock bands managed to gain mainstream popularity.

In 1995 Korean entrepreneur Lee Soo-man founded South Korea’s largest talent agency and record label, SM Entertainment. By the late 1990s, YG Entertainment, DSP Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and FNC Music had become the most important part of k-pop music market. And SM, YG and JYP often referred to as the “Big Three.”

Towards the turn of the 21st century, the K-pop music began spreading out to other regions of the world as part of the global Korean wave. In 2012, the number of fans in Turkey over 100,000 for the first time, and reached 150,000 in 2013. That year, there were 70 K-pop fan clubs in Mexico, with at least 60,000 members altogether. All this number shows the k-pop music become an indispensable part in present international music market.

If now you are only know western pop music, you are out of fashion. K-pop, the new music bomb had already threw to the global  music market. Maybe the song “We Are The Future” really predicted the future of k-pop. Like the lyric in this song “I want to create my own world, don’t force me to live the same life, I want to set up my own life, we are the future!” The special, bright future belong to K-pop!
