Korean Hip Hop
Korean hip hop, also known as K-hip hop or K-rap, is a subgenre of Korean popular music. It is widely considered to have originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and has since become increasingly popular, both in Korea and abroad. While Korea's hip hop culture includes various elements such as rap, graffiti, DJing, turntablism, and b-boying, rapping comprises a significant part of the culture. The term "hip hop" is largely recognized and understood as "rap" in Korea.

Many Korean hip-hop songs boast syllabic similarities that could be interpreted in either language. The bilingual aspect of this music is one distinguishing factor between Korean hip hop and American hip hop. As early-stage Korean hip-hop was heavily influenced by African-American hip hop, Korean hip-hop artists naturally started using AAVE i ...
