"Certainly music has been around, but when it comes to graffiti - that''s been around since the late ''60s. It was a thing unto itself, that had its own movement.""So by the time the late ''70s came around, and all the elements become a collective," Adams continues, "graffiti art took a back seat to rap music. Music has always been universal. Music lives in the air, music is everywhere - it doesn''t cost you anything.""That said, hip-hop is a visual movement, [and] graffiti will remain a necessary element of creative expression within the culture," he added.Also tapping the talents of Lyor Cohen, the global head of music for Google-owned YouTube and the former Def Jam president - Cohen says on Google''s blog that hip-hop "shows that people in any situation have the ability to create something powerful and meaningful. The progression of this culture and sound - from Kool Herc spinning James Brown breaks at a block party to Jay-Z, Kanye West and Drake being some of the biggest forces in music 44 years later - is something that few people at that first party could have anticipated."If you haven''t done so yet, check out Google''s home page now as Fab 5 Freddy narrate''s the home-page where you can view a quick glimpse of hip-hop''s history, toward a tutorial of pulling tunes from the digital crate and working the turntables.83041Hip,Hop, Google, DJ Mark
