Hip-hop is a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, breakdancing, and graffiti art or writing.[24][25][26] Knowledge is sometimes described as a fifth element, underscoring its role in shaping the values and promoting empowerment and consciousness-raising through music.[27][28][29] In 1999, emcee KRS-One, often referred to as “The Teacher,” elaborated on this framework in a Harvard lecture, identifying additional elements that extend beyond the basic four. These include self-expression, street fashion, street language, street knowledge (or universal law), and street entrepreneurialism, which remain integral to hip-hop’s musical expression, entertainment business, and sound production. Girls’ double-dutch was also recognized as a key stylistic component of breakdancing, according to KRS.[30]
The origin of the phrase “hip-hop” is unknown but a very old example of the phrase appears in scene II of an anonymously written satirical play from 1671 called The Rehearsal, thought to be written by George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and others. A character in the play named Bayes says: “Ay, is’t not, I gad, ha? For, to go off hip hop, hip hop, upon this occasion, is a thousand times better than any conclusion in the world, I gad.”[31] This play and two other later sources are mentioned as an entry “Hip-hop” in a multi-volume dictionary from 1901 called A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, in Volume 5 H to K, on page 296;[32] the definition is this dictionary is: “Hip-hop, adv. [v. hip + hop v.; or re-duplication of hop, with alternation of lighter and heavier vowel : cf. drip-drop, tip-top: With hopping movement; with successive hops.” A similar phrase “hippity hop” of unknown origin goes to least back to the 1800s and appears in a poem, “Spring Weather”, written by Elizabeth Cummings published in an 1882 children’s magazine called Wide Awake.[33] The illustrated poem begins “Hippity hop to the candy Shop four little men in a row” and the phrase appears a few more times. The hopping depicted in the illustration seems to crossover later to describing dances such as the Lindy Hop, which began in Harlem in the late 1920s. Later dance parties in the 1970s with DJs predated rap music but rap music would evolve out of them. In an article in Medium, Jeff Chang writes: “Father Amde Hamilton of the influential rap precursors the Watts Prophets once told me that, when he was growing up along Central Avenue in 1950s Los Angeles, the older folks used to call teen house parties ‘them old hippity hops’.”
