Answer 1

Hip-hop and rap both began as recordings, with live musical productions coming later. The original version of hip-hop featured DJs manipulating vinyl records on turntables, and it spread through contagious diffusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hip-hop and rap both began as recordings, and live musical productions came later. Hip-hop emerged in the 1970s as a self-taught street music that combined elements of funk with beats and lyrics. The original version of hip-hop featured DJs manipulating vinyl records on turntables as the musical accompaniment for the rapper. It is an example of an expansion diffusion known as contagious diffusion, where it spread first to nearby locations before reaching more distant cities and even small towns.
