Every musical genre has
it’s genesis, it’s origins, it’s beginning.
Rap
music isn’t just a genre in itself; it mingles many other types of music, like
gospel, jazz, Motown, R&B and soul music.
Rap is by no means a modern invention. The idea of creative use
of language, metaphor and indirection is found in African history as a means to
express discontent with the social system
It’s a known Fact that African Americans feel
that they are the victim’s of white oppression in America. Hip Hop was a new
creative way to speak out against this social inequity. Moreover it is deeply
rooted in a history of black people declaring fearlessly, yet in a hidden
language of symbols, messages of unshackling themselves from the powers oppress
them.
Music like Rap changes with every generation. New beats and new artists shape the entire scene as they go along only to be changed again.
The beauty and
that unique twist that rap has is the fact of relating it with oneself. To some
people the aggression and anger that is portrayed within the lyrics and to
others it can bee seen as an art.
