Hip hop, or one of its subgenres (such as Gangsta or Conscious), features on a great many internet radio stations. There is a large amount of variety in the different sub-genres. The primary defining feature of Hip Hop music is rapping or MC-ing, where artists speak (rap) in a rhythmic and lyrical fashion over samples, beats and loops. Hip Hop is also closely associated with the related activities of DJing and scratching, graffiti, breakdancing and beatboxing. DJ Kool Herc is widely recognised as the father of hip-hop, and early pioneers included Grandmaster Flash and Afrikaa Bambaataa. Artists such as mc chris, Lil Wayne and 2Pac are some of the more popular Hip Hop artists on online stations.
