Basketball is one of the world&amp;#8217;s most popular and widely viewed sports.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball#cite_note-0"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A regulation basketball hoop consists of a rim 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted to a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backboard_(basketball)" title="Backboard (basketball)"&gt;backboard&lt;/a&gt;. A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the hoop during regular play. A &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_goal_(basketball)" title="Field goal (basketball)"&gt;field goal&lt;/a&gt; scores two points for the shooting team if a player is touching or closer to the hoop than the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_point_line" title="3 point line"&gt;three-point line&lt;/a&gt;, and three points (a &amp;#8220;3 pointer&amp;#8221;) if the player is &amp;#8220;outside&amp;#8221; the three-point line. The team with more points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) may be issued when the game ends with a tie. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or running (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dribbling" title="Dribbling"&gt;dribbling&lt;/a&gt;) or passing it to a teammate. It is a violation (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_(basketball)" title="Traveling (basketball)"&gt;traveling&lt;/a&gt;) to walk with the ball, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_(basketball)" title="Carrying (basketball)"&gt;carry&lt;/a&gt; it, or to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dribble" title="Double dribble"&gt;double dribble&lt;/a&gt; (to hold the ball and then resume dribbling).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Various &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball#Violations" title="Basketball"&gt;violations&lt;/a&gt; are generally called &amp;#8220;fouls&amp;#8221;. Disruptive physical contact (a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_foul_(basketball)" title="Personal foul (basketball)"&gt;personal foul&lt;/a&gt;) is penalized, and a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_throw" title="Free throw"&gt;free throw&lt;/a&gt; is usually awarded to an offensive player if he is fouled while shooting the ball. A &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_foul" title="Technical foul"&gt;technical foul&lt;/a&gt; may also be issued when certain infractions occur, most commonly for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsportsmanlike_conduct" title="Unsportsmanlike conduct"&gt;unsportsmanlike conduct&lt;/a&gt; on the part of a player or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coach_(basketball)" title="Coach (basketball)"&gt;coach&lt;/a&gt;. A technical foul gives the opposing team a free throw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basketball has evolved many commonly used techniques of shooting, passing, and dribbling, as well as specialized &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_position" title="Basketball position"&gt;player positions&lt;/a&gt; and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning) and techniques. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_(basketball)" title="Center (basketball)"&gt;center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_forward_(basketball)" title="Power forward (basketball)"&gt;power forward&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_forward" title="Small forward"&gt;small forward&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed play &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_guard" title="Point guard"&gt;point guard&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_guard" title="Shooting guard"&gt;shooting guard&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variations_of_basketball" title="Variations of basketball"&gt;variations of basketball&lt;/a&gt; have developed for casual play. Competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport played on carefully marked and maintained &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_court" title="Basketball court"&gt;basketball courts&lt;/a&gt;, but less regulated variations are often played outdoors in both inner city and rural areas.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://beatsandhoops.tumblr.com/post/17260858758</link><guid>http://beatsandhoops.tumblr.com/post/17260858758</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:54:36 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>HIP HOP: RAP TI'LL YOU DROP LEARN ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Creation of the term &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop" title="Hip hop"&gt;hip hop&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is often credited to Keith Cowboy, &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapper" title="Rapper"&gt;rapper&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmaster_Flash_and_the_Furious_Five" title="Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five"&gt;Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-furious5_12-0"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music#cite_note-furious5-12"&gt;[13]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; However, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovebug_Starski" title="Lovebug Starski"&gt;Lovebug Starski&lt;/a&gt;, Keith Cowboy, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Hollywood" title="DJ Hollywood"&gt;DJ Hollywood&lt;/a&gt; used the term when the music was still known as &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco" title="Disco"&gt;disco&lt;/a&gt; rap&lt;/em&gt;. It is believed that Cowboy created the term while teasing a friend who had just joined the U.S. Army, by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scat_singing" title="Scat singing"&gt;scat singing&lt;/a&gt; the words &amp;#8220;hip/hop/hip/hop&amp;#8221; in a way that mimicked the&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythmic" title="Rhythmic"&gt;rhythmic&lt;/a&gt; cadence of soldiers marching.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-furious5_12-1"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music#cite_note-furious5-12"&gt;[13]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Cowboy later worked the &amp;#8220;hip hop&amp;#8221; cadence into a part of his stage performance, which was quickly used by other artists such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sugarhill_Gang" title="The Sugarhill Gang"&gt;The Sugarhill Gang&lt;/a&gt; in &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapper%27s_Delight" title="Rapper's Delight"&gt;Rapper&amp;#8217;s Delight&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221;.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-furious5_12-2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music#cite_note-furious5-12"&gt;[13]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hip hop music originated as improvisations made to existing music by party DJs. Although hip hop music predates the introduction of rapping into hip hop culture, the majority of the genre is accompanied by rap vocals. However, rap vocals are absent from many hip hop tracks, such as &amp;#8220;&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_Hop,_Be_Bop_(Don%E2%80%99t_Stop)" title="Hip Hop, Be Bop (Dont Stop)"&gt;Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don’t Stop)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Parrish" title="Man Parrish"&gt;Man Parrish&lt;/a&gt;; &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paid_in_Full_(album)" title="Paid in Full (album)"&gt;Chinese Arithmetic&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_B._%26_Rakim" title="Eric B. &amp;amp; Rakim"&gt;Eric B. &amp;amp; Rakim&lt;/a&gt;; &amp;#8220;Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re Rocking the Planet&amp;#8221; by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Calliste,_Jr." title="Jerry Calliste, Jr."&gt;Hashim&lt;/a&gt;; and &amp;#8220;Destination Earth&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
