In general, hip–
hop emerged in the 1970s. In 1973, Kool DJ Herc was the first DJ to start repeating only the beat of a funk, soul or disco track, instead of playing the whole track and assembling two different beats (so-called beatjuggling).
Since the early 1990s, hip-hop has spread internationally. In the process, typical styles of the individual countries have emerged, but overall the performers from the USA remain the tone-setters. In Europe, hip-hop fell on fertile ground as early as the 1980s in the
French banlieues of Paris and Marseille. In the early and mid-1990s,
MC Solaar and
IAM gained international renown.
Hip-hop scenes also exist in other countries (e.g.
German hip-hop,
Polish hip-hop, Belgian Hip Hop,
Arabic hip-hop,
Russian hip-hop). It is also worth mentioning British hip-hop, which spawned its own style of
Britcore, and Brazilian hip-hop, which also spawned its own sub-style,
Bass Music influenced
Rio Funk.
A diverse scene has now also developed in Africa, often aspiring to American models but also producing distinct varieties of
African hip-hop.
