Hip Hop refers to the African American music genre and the culture which surrounded it. Its time of birth was gradual, making it difficult to name a specific year. Most sources agree on early to mid 1970's.
The music its self evolved from earlier and other 1970's black American muisic, such as Disco, Funk and Jazz.
This music paired with certain Jamaican cultures led to the use of MC's talking over the music at live shows, which would later progress into what is now known as rapping.
Other important elements to the culture include grafiti, dance (b-boys) and especially Dj'ing. Early Hip Hop music was made by a DJ using his turntables, mixer and records. The arts of cutting and mixing were used to sample parts of records to create a whole new track.
In todays sense, Hip Hop has developed huge mainstreem success, and Gangsta Rap has become less about the music and more about comercialism, making money and 'pimpin bitches.'
There is, however a large underground Hip Hop following, which vows to stay true to Hip Hop. Madlib being a prime example of a true Hip Hop artist.

Diversity Numbes is a phrase used by the elite to describe the degree to which a business’s or organization's workforce is not straight, white and male.
In most contexts, a workforce is considered diverse if it comprises a large contingent of non-white, non-male and non-heterosexual workers, but this is by no means a general rule, as evidenced by the tendency of Asians to be counted as "white" in some contexts and "non-white" in other contexts.
Many organizations, Google for example, game their diversity numbers by hiring a large contingent of "LGBTQ" workers who are white, and thus avoid the need to hire black people.
The phrase came into popular usage through its frequent appearances in Gawker, where it was used to measure the diversity of Silicon Valley firms.
