Hip hop is a cultural movement that includes music, DJing, graffiti writing, breakdancing, and MCing. It originally came from NYC within the African American culture in the 1970s. Afrika Bambaataa who was a DJ was the person who set up the main categories of hip hop which is music, DJing, graffiti writing, breakdancing, and MCing but there are other elements such as slang, beatboxing, and hip hop style that goes along with it. The hip hop culture began to spread around the world after it had emerged in Bronx and when it began to spread, disc jockeys were at the center of hip hop. The disc jockeys focused on making samplings which is made on two turntables to emphasize certain rhythm patterns. After samplings were beginning to be made, rapping, beatboxing, and other forms of music followed to accompany the sampling with the main purpose of imitating musical techniques. Lastly, as time passed and hip hop movement continued, new developments and changes were made making hip hop a history and culture.

The Kia Tigers are professional baseball team was founded in 1982 but before they were called Kia Tigers, they were known ias Haitai Tigers. The team is a member of Korean Baseball Organization and is one of the most successful teams for they have won national championships, Korean Series with great records one of them being a perfect record. They first had their success in the 1980s and 1990s but afterwards, they ended up at the bottom of the Korean League twice; once in 2005 and the other in 2007. However, Kia Tigers made their return last year by winning the 2009 KBO Season and 2009 Korean Series. Lastly, they reside in Gwangju which is where their home stadium is called Moodeung Stadium. I'm part of this subculture because all my family members like this team and baseball so therefore, I got involved in cheering for the team as well by going to stadiums and etc. Due to the fact that my family members support the team, I naturally got involved and I have been part of this subculture for three years so far.
