NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) –
The producers behind “Next Day Air” are ready to groove to a new dance move.

Melee Entertainment and independent film producer Shariff Hasan are developing a movie that will center on jerkin', the hip-hop dance trend that has been attracting a host of mainstream coverage.

Jerkin,' which has landed coverage in L.A. Weekly and the Los Angeles Times, is a form of dancing that, like breakdancing and other performance art, originated in the streets. Setting it apart from some other forms of street art is its specific political ideology of providing a positive, anti-gang message in the inner city. Jerkin' dancers wear brightly colored, non-baggy jeans and shirts, in marked contrast to conventional hip-hop wear.

The first jerkin' crews originated in Southern California, but the movement has spread to other parts of the country and around the world.

Melee's Bryan Turner, one of the film's producers, described the jerkin' movement as “hip-hop reinventing itself before our eyes.”

Hasan said that, because it is anti-gang, the phenomenon marks “the first time in human history where youth culture is rebelling against itself.”

Also producing the project are Melee's Scott Aronson and Mike Regen, along with Hasan, Todd Moscowitz and Mike Mavrolas. Moscowitz runs Asylum Records, which has released a number of jerkin'-themed recordings, and Mavrolas manages jerkin' act the New Boyz, which is enjoying a hit with “You're a Jerk.”

The producers are in talks with writers.

Melee is the production company behind the Mos Def action comedy “Next Day Air,” which earned $10 million when Summit released it in May, and Screen Gems' $40 million breakout “You Got Served.” It is prepping the thriller “Day One.”

I love hip hop dance. I know there are different kinds, and artists have come up with their own styles as well as been influenced by dancing greats (i.e Ne-yo and Chris Brown being influenced by Michael Jackson). I know about break dancing, street dancing, crunk. etc. but give me a low down on the styles and history.

The History of Hip Hop

Although the hip hop culture is very popular amongst most people, not many are aware of the origins of hip hop. Read on to know more about the history of hip hop.

Hip hop has started a culture since the time it originated. Millions of people around the globe have been influenced with the hip hop culture. Hip hop music and hip hop dance have rewritten the music and dance trends since the olden days. The music industry has seen the emergence of artists that have caused a rage amongst youngsters. Coolio, Missy Elliot, Puff Daddy, Salt ‘N’ Pepa, The Fugees, MC Hammer and many such artists have given us chartbusting hip hop tracks that have caused a huge and loyal fan following for the hip hop culture.

Have you ever wondered where the hip hop culture actually begun? Here is a look at the history of hip hop and why it is still a rage today.

History of Hip Hop:

The hip hop period is divided into two eras-the old school hip hop (1970-1985) and the golden age hip hop (1985-1993). The hip-hop style is actually very famous and popular in the USA. Hip hop involves rapping, break dancing and is also very popular because of the style of dressing. It is believed that hip hop originated in the Bronx by Kool Herc who was a Jamaican DJ. He was amongst the earliest to gain fame. In hip hop music, the singers individually vocalize over the beats. The old school hip hop artists always focused on introducing themselves and even the guests over the music. Later, this presentation got more varied and the approach was more rhythmic with rhyming lyrics from the African American culture. One also saw the emergence of break dance or b-boying/b-girling, which is a street dance style that has also evolved with time. This formed the base for the hip hop style of dancing as well.

Hip hop music has originated from the African American and the West African music. There was a lot of funk and soul music being played during the old school hip-hop era. The Djs finally started separating the percussion breaks from hit tracks. They gradually realized that these beats were more entertaining and fun to groove to.

The golden age hip hop era saw rappers such as Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap. The new school of hip hop culture also saw the duo Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince bag the first rap Grammy Award. This was the period that saw the emergence of new hip hop styles. For the first time in the history of hip hop, it was combined with rock, reggae and even techno music. Rap formed a major part of hip hop and also the dance and the clothing styles achieved prominence. The all female group, Salt ‘N’ Pepa tasted stupendous success with singles such as the ‘The Show Stoppa’. The interests in the rap music saw a steady rise and there were various messages that were incorporated in the hip hop music such as stories on crime, drugs and violence. The street language was passed on to the hip hop culture through rap music.

The hip hop dance gained popularity as it offered a platform to express one’s creativity. Hip hop gave one a chance to dance freely without adhering to the rules that is required in ballroom and jazz style of dancing. Breakdance formed the base for hip hop dance. This appeared in the early 1960s in the New York City. The different styles of hip hop dance includes the harlem shake, snap dance, grinding, gangsta walking, soulja boy, krumping etc. Along with the dance, the hip hop style of dressing also gained popularity along the way. The hip hop look was never complete without baggy jeans, loose Tees, chunky jewelry and loads of bling. This is because, hip hop is not just about dance and music but is a culture in itself. The hip hop dance can never be complete without the right style of hip-hop clothing. Hip hop fashion has cut across all boundaries since the olden days. Today, apart from the loose attire, the women are known to sport fitting skirts with legging and layered tops with gold lockets to make a style statement.

Gangsta rap saw success in the year 1986. This was mainly because of the very popular “6n’ Da Mornin’” by Ice T. This gangsta rap trend influenced more groups along the way such as Puff Daddy, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr. Dre and The Notorious B.I.G. etc.

Hip hop therefore has generations of fan following. We can see how hip hop music and the hip hop culture has evolved since the olden days. Many argue that the present style of hip hop may not always reflect the pure form. But despite all the disagreements, one cannot argue with the fact that the hip hop is immensely popular even till date.
