Rap Music

Rap music first blew up in the 80s with aritsts like the Beastie Boys and Run DMC Sugarhill Gang Curtis Blow. Rap was great when it first started but it strictly appealed to an all black or dominantly black and all the white poeple listened to rgock. Run DMC changed all of this. Run DMC worked with Aerosmith who had a all white fan base to recreate the album "walk this way" which was a huge hit. The album resulted in the merging of white and black music and ultimately created a new mainstream. Artists today such as jay z and Lil Wayne evolved from Run DMC and early rap. Rap in its early stages was great.



Rap gradually became more and more vulgar and pointless but also surprisingly more and more popular and today dominates the billboards. With aritsts out today such as soulja boy Gucci Mane Lil Boosie Yung Berg Slim Thug rap is becoming more and more stupid and more and more pointless. It is a wonder why rap still dominates the charts.



Rap artists talk mostly about money girls sex and drugs and yet poeple still love it. Poeple try to defend it as if it is something positive. Let me say the next time you try and say rap music is positive rap music is influential rap music is the best look up the lyrics to the top 5 rap songs and i gaurantee you that at least 3 of those 5 songs will be pointless and speaking about drugs sex money or girls.

The values of rap music i can honestly say has diminished over the past years. Today rap music is garbage and anybody who reads this can quote me on this it is absolutely horrible.
