Next in #50yearsofhiphop is the year 1984. I saw that in the thumbnails, there is often a wrong release year. That's due to mistakes made by Spotify. Btw. Let me know if you prefer a different platform than Spotify for the songs in the comments.
Anyway, before we come to the songs that represent 1984, I wanted to shed a light on the other elements representing Hip Hop again. This time we focus on Graffiti.

As you might know, Hip Hop consists of several elements. And Rap music is only one of them. Wether this is really true or just a PR stunt to market the culture with books and movies (Wild Style, see below) and how many elements there really are, is a matter…
As I already mentioned, it's disputed wether the different elements actually came together naturally, or if it was merely a PR stunt. Especially for Graffiti the later is true, since the foundations of modern Style-Writing (Tagging, Throw-ups) can be found in late 60s New York City. A few years before a Hip Hop culture even existed. Lots of early Writers were more into Punk than Rap music.
