Slang, jive talk, intricate rhymes to introduce the songs, more localized slang was spread. They began to talk over the tracks (chat over instrumental records) Umbrella term for black verbal signifying, something, dozens. The foundational years: approximately 1973-1979, before 1979 there were two main ways to hear rap: Local (go to parks, house parties, community centers and eventually clubs in the south. Bronx spreading to different boroughs- brooklyn and queens) Informal (cassette tapes of live shows and then sell them on the streets) These events were advertised by word of mouth or flyers. In early hip hop culture (early to mid 70s) was all about the djs and the dancers. It was all about keeping the party going, it was these dancers that actually pioneered early break dancing. Some noticed (especially dj herc) that a part (a specific little part) of the song when the dancers would just go nuts, it usually had drums and no lyrics.
