Where Did Hip Hop Originated?

Hip Hop originated in the streets of the South Bronx. Hip Hop was created to stop the youth from joining gang. Moreover, it was created by Puerto Ricans and Blacks people in the South Bronx. Noticed that I say blacks because Jamaicans, Nigerians, African Americans etc.. help to build what we know today as Hip Hop. Hip Hop have elements. You may wonder what are they? Some people might argue that there are 8 elements of Hip Hop, but the 4 main elements are Mcing, BBoying, Graffiti, and DJing. Rock Steady Crew were a crew of the bronx that merged in the 1970's 


Below are some links which states that Puerto Ricans were involved in the Hip Hop movement:
