Hip-Hop was born in the 1970s in the Bronx and ultimately leading to the rap movement. The difference between the two is that hip-hop is more generic and encompasses more of a dance/party atmosphere. Hip-hop also is known to use looping and turntables. Kool Herc is credited with starting the hip-hop movement.

The hip-hop movement became popular and got its name from the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rappers Delight.” The name came from the hook of the song.
