Question by Jonas Rand: How did the counterculture of the 1960s influence hip hop music?
It was influential in modern music, can someone provide examples of how it influenced hip-hop?

Thanks
I meant to write American music; “modern” was an error (though I guess you could say that it did, to some degree).
influence != initiate. I did not say that hip hop started with the 60’s. I asked how the counterculture influenced hip hop later on, or what influences it took from the counterculture.

Best answer:
