Introduction to hip-hop

Hip-hop was introduced to China in the mid-1980s, thanks to the 1984 American hip-hop movie "Breakin'". 1984 was the first boom of hip-hop in the United States. Hip-hop attracted widespread attention from the society. It suddenly emerged from the ground and was reported by major media. It appeared on the cover of National Geographic and in the prime time of major TV stations. , even President Reagan watched the break dancing performance live.

Street dance movies and TV movies have been released one after another. In 1984 alone, 7 hip-hop movies were released. The peak of the entire hip-hop craze occurred at the closing ceremony of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

When Lionel Richie sang the song "All Night Long", 200 dancers from more than 10 groups danced street dance in front of 100,000 viewers under the reflection of fireworks, and many dancers started to turn their heads at the same time. (a difficult power move in break dancing), millions of viewers saw this exciting scene in front of their TV sets.

In China, video recorders had just begun to enter households at that time. The video tape of "Break Dance" was delivered to the hands of Chinese teenagers through various channels. Those teenage families who were the first to have TV VCRs became the dissemination center of break dance. .

Many "motors" (one of the protagonists in "Break Dance" named Boogaloo Shrimp) with floral cloth heads and jialai sneakers appeared all over the street. ), the famous dancers in the history of hip-hop, they act like there is something wrong with their brains. Sometimes they are "passing electricity" from one hand to the other, sometimes they are walking "moonwalk" back and forth, and sometimes they are facing the air. "Cleaning the glass". In fact, even the American media at that time was confused by the first hip-hop craze. They attached the name of break dance, a New York dance, to West Coast dance.

The movie "Break Dance" should be called "Funky" or "Lock and Pop" because it was filmed in California and basically reflects the dance of the West Coast. But no matter what, "Break Dance" has had a huge impact on China. As a result, a large number of street dancers have appeared in mainland China almost simultaneously with the United States, and the level is also quite high.

The late young dancer Tao Jin was a well-known professional dancer who studied and practiced street dance at that time. In 1988, he filmed the movie "Young Rock", which used many hip-hop moves and received a great response among teenagers at the time. He also went to the United States to learn street dance from the famous funk dance veteran Pop N Taco. He was the first Chinese person, including Taiwanese dancers, to be introduced to him by a hip-hop master.

Unfortunately, break dancing quickly disappeared in China by the late 1980s. There are three main reasons for this: First, the influence of the United States. Since 1986, the hip-hop craze has gradually cooled down in the United States. Excessive commercial hype has quickly made hip-hop the chewing gum left in the public's mouth. Popular artists quickly steal the achievements of hip-hop and repackage them into popular products that are more acceptable to the public. The real Street dance was abandoned.

Breakdancing has become obsolete in New York, and all b-boys around the world seem to have been wiped out overnight; secondly, "breakdancing" has not been correctly understood by society. Except for art majors, most of the young people who danced "break dance" were students who did not like to study, were playful and active, or young people who were idle in society. Many of them were delinquents who were called "ruffians" at the time.

The social consciousness in the 1980s was far less open than it is now (even today, hip-hop is still not fully understood and accepted by the public). The antipathy of teenagers to hip-hop gave hip-hop an unhealthy social image, and thus no received correct treatment, let alone guidance and support; thirdly, "break dancing" did not have a market environment to grow and develop at that time.

The first wave of hip-hop craze in the United States was based on large-scale commercial promotion and commercial development. In the 1980s, there were very few advertisements in China, and there was no commercial packaging and development of hip-hop at all. . Street dancers gain nothing from hip-hop except to satisfy their personal interests. They have no economic basis for survival. As a non-traditional art form, hip-hop will eventually lose its vitality in China.

Another important early influence of hip-hop in China was Michael Jackson. Today, many young people still imitate his dance steps, which shows the influence of this "King of Pop". In fact, Michael Jackson is a typical artist who "steals the achievements of hip-hop and repackages them into popular products that are more acceptable to the public." Almost all of his representative dance steps were learned from American underground hip-hop artists.

As early as 1974, 16-year-old Michael Jackson sang the song "Dancing Machine" on TV as a member of the "Jackson Five" singing group and danced The robot dance became popular across the United States.

In 1983, Jackson performed a moonwalk on Motown Records' 25th anniversary TV special, which became a sensation. Since "Beyond the Wall", each of his albums has been shot with many exquisite music videos, including a large number of dance performances. Dance has become an important part of his music art.

Thriller, Bad and Remember The Time are three of the most exciting music videos with dance performances, including funk, A classic of new-style street dance that combines hip-hop and jazz dance. The choreographer is a famous street dance master in New York, including Henry Link and others. And Jackson's dance performance at the concert was even more popular in China and will last forever.

Although the rise of Beijing street dance culture is relatively late, it is the most representative. From 1996 to 1998, the "Korean Wave" swept across the country, and Beijing was the "hardest hit area." The concept of hip-hop in Beijing, and even across the country, came with this "Korean wave". After the Korean Wave, a large number of hip-hop teenagers emerged in Beijing. They formed teams to imitate the dances of Korean groups and performed in places where teenagers gathered. But at that time, the union of hip-hop teenagers was quite loose, and there was no formal market operation, so it had almost no influence across the country.

In early 2002, the first commercial hip-hop group Bei Dance Hall appeared in Beijing. Under the standardized management system and market development, Bei Dance Hall developed rapidly. Become the most well-known team in the circle. Bei Dance Hall is the representative of Beijing's hip-hop. Its hip-hop styles are comprehensive, and its level of break dance, funk dance, and new-school hip-hop is among the best in the country. In addition, with the holding of several national competitions in Beijing, Beijing has become a place that all hip-hop enthusiasts yearn for with its leading cultural influence.
