Hip-hop is a youth subculture that originated in the 20th century. Its representatives are distinguished by their attachment to special clothes, music and dances of a certain type. The music of this subculture is rap, the clothes are loose, as if from someone else's shoulder, athletic, and the dance has the same name as the entire subculture. To do a hip-hop number means to prepare a stage performance that combines dramatic, musical and dance sides.
Instructions
Step 1
Hip-hop preparation starts with writing the lyrics. Choose a topic that excites you, find a few words (as many as possible) that you will definitely include in your poems. Start writing in the size of the accent verse (three to infinity of unstressed syllables between the two stressed). Pay attention to the general form: the poetic text should be divided into choruses and vocals.
Step 2
Write instrumental accompaniment: from the rhythm base (drums and bass) to chords and echoes. The accompaniment should be very muted, have little relief and bright colors. Otherwise, he will draw attention from the voice to himself.
Step 3
Rehearse the performance of the recitative to the backing track.
Step 4
Put on a dance. To do this, it is better to turn to a professional choreographer who will profitably beat your abilities (flexibility, dexterity, endurance) and the plot of the text, smooth out the shortcomings.
Step 5
Combine dance and song. If necessary, at this stage, the dance can be slightly simplified so that the performer does not suffocate, while simultaneously jumping in a split and uttering a particularly emotional phrase.
