The Joy of Urban Hip-hop Music

Did you say "Hip-hop"?  It is difficult to find exactly, the origin of the word " hip-hop, " but there is indeed the English expression "to be hip" which means "to be in fashion " and the verb "to hop" which means "to jump ." But perhaps it is also necessary to look for " hip" in the sense of "competition," or maybe not ...

In any case, the term "hip-hop" defines today's living and eclectic urban music current.

Usually, hip-hop is considered a musical stream based on rhyming at high speed on a rhythmic basis. But in reality, this is only one of its slopes, rap, a musical genre of urban character and reclamation. Hip-hop is the culture that encompasses and cannot be equated with the simple fact of singing. This cultural movement was born in the 1970s on the Bronx district streets in New York as a response to the oppression in which African citizens lived. There are mainly four manifestations of this subculture: graffiti, DJ, MC, and break-dance.

The performance of Hip Hop mixes, in successive levels, genres that for the western culture would be different and separated (music, poetry, dance, painting). The differential is the interpretation, the fusion of all these elements that makes of it an artistic form that would not be equivalent to the sum of the separated elements. To understand the multidimensionality of performance, it is necessary to do so in its social context. 

Since its evolution throughout the southern Bronx, hip-hop culture has spread to different urban, suburban, and community cultures around the world. As a result, Dallas rap music was birthed through the hard and dedicated work of rappers.

The rapper Cary Woods, also known as OG 2G  is one of the main figures of Urban hip-hop music in Dallas. The singer is highly recognized, thanks to his great mastery of improvisation and the exciting content of his lyrics.

This artist is not a simple singer; he has advanced beyond writing good rap. Cary Woods is an intellectual who has also sought to help the less privileged social classes.
