Hip hop

Hip hop or hip-hop is a sub-cultural movement that formed during the early 1970s by African-American and Puerto Rican youths residing in the South Bronx in New York City. It became popular outside of the African-American community in the late 1980s and by the 2000s became the most listened-to musical genre in the world. It is characterized by four distinct elements, all of which represent the different manifestations of the culture: rap music (oral), turntablism or DJing (aural), b-boying (physical) and graffiti art (visual). Even while it continues to develop globally in myriad styles, these four foundational elements provide coherence to hip hop culture. The term is often used in a restrictive fashion as synonymous only with the oral practice of rap music.

The origin of the hip hop culture stems from the block parties of the Ghetto Brothers, when they plugged in the amplifiers for their instruments and speakers into the lampposts on 163rd Street and Prospect Avenue and used music to break down racial barriers, and from DJ Kool Herc at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, where Herc mixed samples of existing records with his own shouts to the crowd and dancers. Kool Herc is credited as the "father" of hip hop. DJ Afrika Bambaataa of the hip hop collective Zulu Nation outlined the pillars of hip hop culture, to which he coined the terms: MCing or "Emceein", DJing or "Deejayin", B-boying and graffiti writing or "Aerosol Writin".

B2K

B2K was an American R&B boy band that was active from 1998 to 2004.

2001–02 Formation and self-titled debut album

The group met in 1998 and was managed by music producer Chris Stokes with Lil' Fizz, J-Boog, and Raz-B as members. During a New Year's Eve party that Chris Stokes was hosting in 1999, Omarion joined the group. They named their group B2K (Boys of the new Millennium) to represent the fact that they got together in the beginning of the year 2000. They had made a cameo in Lil' Bow Wow's video for Ghetto Girls, and were the opening act on the Scream Tour I.

B2K broke into the US pop charts in late 2001 with the infectious "Uh Huh", a driven by more-dance-than-hip-hop beats and a hot delivery, contrasting from the usual material favored by boy bands. The group's debut album, B2K was released on March 12, 2002. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs albums chart.

Their debut album included follow-up singles including "Gots Ta Be", which managed to break the top 40 by charting at #34. The final single, Why I Love You, was released in the spring, along with a music video that featured cameos from labelmate Jhene and Naya Rivera. Even though it had very little success on the Billboard 100, charting at #73, it broke the top 20 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, charting at #19. Nevertheless, the group's debut album was certified Gold in the summer. B2K also performed a concert special for Nickelodeon in July of that year. They were also featured in the magazines Word Up and Right On, along with other R&B artists.
