FAQs

Yes and no.

Hip Hop is a style of music created from African music. For all intents and purposes, rap music can be intertwined with Hip-Hop music. Rapping is a vocal style in which the vocalist speaks lyrically, in rhyme and verse. The creation of Hip-Hop has been accredited to Keith Cowboy of the music group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

There are many claims about the first Hip-Hop recording. However, our favorite is to be The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” from 1979. The lyrical content of Hip-Hop evolved from the 1970s to metaphorical lyrics over more complex, multi-layered instrumentals.

Artists such as Chuck D and KRS-ONE revolutionized hip-hop by transforming it into a more mature art form. Hip Hop from the ’80s and into the new decade formed into many genres including east coast and west coast Hip-Hop, gangsta rap, new school Hip-Hop, world, and crunk.

You don’t have ONE Michael Jackson song OR Prince song. “Wanna be starting something” & “Kiss”. Also Cameo “Candy”
What it should replace, that I don’t know but there’s a few suspect songs on here. Just my opinion.

Hi DJ UNEEQ. Thanks for your input. However, we would consider your song suggestions more of the R&B side than the Hip Hop genre. You can see it here https://www.myweddingsongs.com/wedding-song-lists/rb-wedding-songs/ Cameo’s song “Word Up” is one of my favorites!
