El Hip Hop, género musical y cultural, tiene sus raíces en la comunidad afroamericana y latina de los años 70 en el Bronx, Nueva York. La música Hip Hop se caracteriza por su ritmo y poesía hablada en forma de rap, acompañada frecuentemente de beats electrónicos y samples de otras canciones. La cultura Hip Hop también incluye elementos como el breakdance, el graffiti y el DJing.
Las letras del Hip Hop a menudo tratan temas sociales y políticos, como la desigualdad, la discriminación y la violencia en las comunidades urbanas. También se utiliza para expresar identidad y orgullo cultural. El Hip Hop ha evolucionado y se ha diversificado en subgéneros como el gangsta rap, el conscious rap y el trap, entre otros.
El impacto del Hip Hop en la cultura popular es significativo en todo el mundo, no solo en la música, sino también en la moda y el lenguaje. Muchos artistas de Hip Hop se han convertido en íconos culturales y han utilizado su plataforma para promover la justicia social y la igualdad.
William "Bootsy" Collins (born October 26, 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is a funk bassist, singer, and songwriter.
Rising to prominence with James Brown in the late 1960s, and with Parliament-Funkadelic in the '70s, Collins' driving bass guitar and humorous vocals established him as one of the leading names in funk.[1] Collins is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. With his older brother Catfish Collins, and Kash Waddy and Philippé Wynne, Collins formed a group called The Pacesetters in 1968.
In March 1970, after most of the members of James Brown's band quit over a pay dispute, The Pacesetters were hired as Brown's backing band and they became known as The J.B.'s. (They are often referred to as the "original" J.B.'s to distinguish them from later line-ups that went by the same name.) Although they worked for Brown for only 11 months, the original J.B.'s played on some of Brown's most intense funk recordings, including "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine", "Super Bad", "Soul Power", and "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing".
It is known that the young Bootsy clashed several times with the rigid system Brown used to discipline the young band whenever he felt they stepped out of line. After leaving the band Collins then moved to Detroit, following the advice of singer and future Parliament member Mallia Franklin.
