Long Answer

1. Hip-hop expanded out of the Bronx as artists began touring and spreading their music around the country and the world. Afrika Bambaataa was the first hip-hop artist to tour outside of New York. Further expansion happened as hip-hop found its way into clubs, onto MTV, and achieved more and more record deals. (Chapter 18)

2. DJ Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa are considered the pioneers of hip-hop. DJ Kool Herc borrowed the two-turntable method of DJing from Disco clubs to create breakbeat and added MCing to create rap music. Afrika Bambaataa was the first to combine hip-hop and electronica, effectively merging white and Black music together. Both started out in the Bronx as members of gangs.
