Rap Music
Rap music began in the late 70’s at the beginning of the hip hop period. Herc a
Jamaican immigrant is said to havestarted rap music when he delivered simple
raps to his friends at parties. Some claim the genre was inspired by the
Jamaican tradition of toasting.
Some of the big names in rapping nowadays areJay Z, Eminem and Lil Wayne.
Some awards for rapping include “The Grammy award for best rap album” and
the “The BET Hip Hop Award”.
Key features of rapping include use of repetitive samples and programmed
beats. Also DJing is used commonly with rapping. Lyrically most rappers double
the last word of some lines, adds answering phrases and adds spoken ad libs.
Many rappers wear stylish clothes to show off their money-making music. They
commonly wear street wear during gigs and public appearances and very
rarely dress smartly. Mostrappers wear a gold chain to again show off there
money and stylish appearance.
One of the most famous sub genres of Rap music is “East Coasthip hop”, this
was developed in New York city during the 1970’s and is still to this day a very
popular style of music. East Coasthip hop focuses moreon the lyrical side of
rapping rather than the beat and musicalside of things. The lyrics were
designed to be quick and makeit difficult for the listener to follow. Eminem is a
perfect example of this, although his music is currenthe still uses conventions
of east coasthip hop in some of his songs. For example in the song “Rap god”
there is a bit wherehe raps so fastit is almost impossibleto understand him.
Although rap was originated by a Jamaican it is more commonly originated on
the streets of New York, for example Rap become popular due to artists like
Run-D.M.C, Whodiniand Grandmaster flash. All these artists lived in New York
and are described as “Old-SchoolRap Artists.”
