Rap music or Hip Hop when first came out and started getting popular, everyone thought it was just something the kids are liking at the present and it’s going to go away. This was because it was the first time that the vocals were basically rhymes and it was like someone was just reading them out. I understand why people could think it was going to be just a fad.

It wasn’t the rappers themselves who were gangsters, it was the media that used the term ‘gangster rap’ that gave hip hop the bad name. I mean their were even politicians standing up against these rappers and some of them even ended up on rapper’s lyrics. However, music is a powerful force and it soon spread from the east coast to the west and the surprising thing is, the white kids really started digging rap music. I guess everyone could relate to the songs because we all go through different struggles and pains and rap music was actually healing this pain.

No one could put a lid on this genre of music anymore. When rock music first came out, it was labeled the devil’s music and soon every kid wanted to hear it and have a great time with it. Same kind of scrutiny and negativity was thrown at Hip hop and rap music. Some of these rappers were actually called criminals and law breakers in the open and the media just didn’t care. The more you bashed rap music, the more money the media made.

Now again people started seeing somewhat of a downfall in rap music, so they stared saying stuff like rap music is going to die out and this it but than came two heroes. One from the west coast and one from the east. Tupac and Biggie tore up the entire industry and re-molded the whole genre. It was like a gift from the rap gods and after making the biggest impact ever, they both passed away in a deadly shooting. Regrettably, they didn’t see eye to eye but their legacy and talent was out of this world.

Don’t listen to what people say about rap music or hip hop being dead, it’s just going to morph into something. I don’t know if you’ve noticed it but it is already turning into more electronic than rap or kind of mixed. These are just record companies who do it but their is going to be someone who is going to start a trend. Let’s just hope that person is ready because rap has chosen him.
