Thesis paper on rap music.
Rap music has become one of the most distinctive and controversial music genres of the past few
decades. A major part of hip hop culture, rap, discusses the experiences and standards of living of
people in different situations ranging from racial stereotyping to struggle for survival in poor,
violent conditions. Rap music is a vocal protest for the people oppressed by these things. Most
people know that rap is not only music to dance and party to, but a significant form of expression. It

multicultural world with no borders and limits. A raw expression of urban hip hop culture, rap

began developing its style and sound in New York party scenes in the Bronx, Brooklyn and other
ghetto areas in the late 1970s. By the 1980s, a whole cycle of New Yorkā€“based hip hop and rap
artists emerged to public attention, including Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Run DMC, Eric
B and Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, KRSā€“ONE, Tone Loc, Salt 'n'
