The beginnings of hip hop in the 1970s did not suggest that this subculture would have grown into a mainstream or pop culture in the following twenty years. Born and raised on the streets of New York City, hip hop culture is to expand in all spheres of urban living. The four original elements of hip hop, MC, DJ, graffiti, and b-boy, were quickly complemented by new ones that support the thought and the art form of expression. The subject matter of the paper are the language and lyrics of hip hop, hip hop subgenres, freestyle, slam poetry, rap opera or hip hopera, hip hop theater, break dance, and hip hop dance, hip hop montage, hip hop movies, and hip hop clothes.
