A History of Hip-Hop Culture - Short Thoughts

Hip-hop and disco—two of the most influential music movements of the 20th century—didn’t emerge in isolation. They were shaped by a mix of cultures, pioneers, and global influences. In this video, we explore the groundbreaking contributions of three key figures:

🔹 DJ Kool Herc – The Jamaican-born Bronx DJ who laid the foundation for hip-hop with his breakbeat technique, setting the stage for rap, b-boying, and the entire culture.
🔹 Afrika Bambaataa – The visionary behind the Zulu Nation, who fused electronic sounds with funk and Afro-futurism, pioneering electro hip-hop and inspiring generations of DJs and producers.
🔹 Régine Zylberberg – The Belgian-born nightclub queen who revolutionized nightlife and helped popularize disco worldwide, creating the modern nightclub experience and influencing dance culture.

From the streets of the Bronx to the high-energy discotheques of Europe, their legacies continue to shape music, nightlife, and global culture. Watch as we break down their impact and the crossover between hip-hop and disco and their shared origins.
