HIP HOP
MUSIC
Hip hop or hip-hop, also known as rap and formerly as disco rap, is
a genre of popular music that originated in the early 1970s from the
African American community. Hip-hop music originated as an anti-drug
and anti-violence genre consisting of stylized rhythmic music
(usually built around drum beats) that often accompanies rapping, a
rhythmic delivery of poetic speech.

SPOKEN
WORD
Spoken word is an oral poetic performance art that is based mainly on
the poem as well as the performer's aesthetic qualities. It is a
20th-century continuation of an ancient oral artistic tradition that
focuses on the aesthetics of recitation and word play, such as the
performer's live intonation and voice inflection. Spoken word is a
"catchall" term that includes any kind of poetry recited aloud,
including poetry readings, poetry slams, jazz poetry, pianologues,
musical readings, and hip hop music, and can include comedy routines
and prose monologues.[1] Unlike written poetry, the poetic text takes
its quality less from the visual aesthetics on a page, but depends
more on phonaesthetics, or the aesthetics of sound.

The
Last
Poets
The Last Poets, a group of musicians and poet performers, originated
out of the civil rights movement, with an emphasis on the black
re-awakening. The original Last Poets were founded on Malcolm X’s
birthday, May 19, 1968 at the former Mount Morris Park (Now Marcus
Garvey Park), at 124th Street and Fifth Avenue in East Harlem, New
York City. The original members, Felipe Luciano, Gylan Kain, and
David Nelson took the name from a poem by South African poet
Keorapetse Kgositsile, who believed that he was in the last era of
poetry before guns would take over. They brought together music
and spoken word.
