Did hip hop evolve from punk music?

Question

Before Ice T was a rapper, he was in a punk group called Body Count.

Answer 1

Yes and No, you have to look at the delination between hardcore and non-hardcore punk. Bad Brain used what we now call rap in their musci twenty years ago. So I think their is some vilidity to that, but Straight Edge punks would never associate with the rap scene.

Answer 2

hip hop evolved from jazz. In some jazz pieces there would be a solo where everyone would stop apart from the drummer. The solo would go on with a basic beat for a minute or so..the beat was then taken and someone rapped over it..its influenced by many different genres these days..but then again theres so much different hip hop about. safe

Answer 3

No- Ice-T was a rapper first, then he was in Body Count famous for "Copkiller" and "Evil Dick". The actually opened for Metallica and Guns N' Roses. I don't know where hip hop got it's roots- but I would say it goes back to R&B and funk (thanx James Brown). Then it was a competitive street contest- that we used to call rap. Hip hop came a little later...

Answer 4

No, linking them by oen person doesn't work.

However, some of the anger and sometimes hate foudn in rap lyrics most likely originiated in popularity with later punk music, the ones more influenced from old punk groups than just doing their own spin on rock. The post-Clash/Ramones era punk bands.

Answer 5

not really, hip hop came out in the late 80s, and it might have been derived from rock, but not punk since punk already came from rock
listen to the Ramones and you'll notice the transition
