Hip-Hop background

Hip-Hop music is a music genre consisting of rapping (a vocal style) and a backing beat. It began in the Bronx in New York City in the 1970's. Most of the artists involved in this music genre are African Americans and Latino Americans. I did research on Hip-Hop artists and found that most where of a African/American ethnic origin. The artist I found were: Chamillionaire, T.I, Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Nelly, Jay-Z, T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, P.Diddy and Ciara. And British artists: Estelle and Dizzee Rascal. As most of these artists are of a dark-coloured skin, I believe that I may have to find a person very similiar for my front cover photo in order to make my magazine look as real as possible.
