Beatboxing, also known as B-boxing is an element of Hip Hop that involves mimicking

percussion instruments by using your voice, mouth, lips and throat.


From what I’ve learned Beatboxing is divided into two recognized types and they are called
‘schools’ and these are Old School Beatboxing and New School Beatboxing.
In Old-school beatboxing it is usually characterised by technical sounds or those BTKs, kick
rolls and click rolls, or what people imagine when they think of stereotypical beatboxing.
And New school beatbox is less of a musical style and more of a technical style. This means
faster beats at the cost of moldy/rhythm and this style is when a person can do different
sounds and beats at the same time.

Tutting is a hip hop dance style that emphasises the body's ability to create geometric
shapes and movements and this street dance style is also said to be interpretative in nature
and some movements that are taken from Egyptian wall writings. The movements involved in
tutting are done to mimic various angles and shapes and these are done along with the
specific music beat or rhythm, making the whole dance routine somewhat robotic.
Until today, tutting is still a respected move and King Tut also known as Mark Benson is
widely praised for developing this style.
