Did You Know?..Hip Hop....Africa...Wolof...Senegal where the English learned to drink tea at a specific time..in Senegal, its four-ish. Anyway, Hip hop is the combination of two separate terms. hip, comes from the Wolof (a Senegalese language) verb hippie , which means to opens ones eyes and see. It is a term of enlightenment. Hop, is an English word that signifies movement. Therefore Hip hop truly means intelligent movement. Keith Cowboy Wiggins, a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, has been credited with coining the term in 1978 while teasing a friend who had just joined the US Army, by scat singing the words hip/hop/hip/hop in a way that mimicked the rhythmic cadence of marching soldiers. #history
