History of rap.

There is much speculation of rap music, man see it as a bad influence on the younger generation and others see it as a link to our past and a way outta the hood. Rap has its roots in Africa due to the rhythmic ways tribes use to use drums, and the genre can to America fron the Caribbean islands. rap is a musical culture that changes but always stays the same at it's roots, in the way it inspires those that listen to it. Rap is called the "food for the soul" as many would call it, and to me that describtion is so right. good rap when listen to can touch you in many ways and it feels like the person doing the rap know you or has being walking in your shoes. Rap start out as a result of pain, miseries, and frustration suffered by the people, and Africans and African-Americans have been wronged through time. That suffering gave brith to rap, because people needed a way to express that pain and rap was that way. Many may see rap today as a infulence to violence and drug use but that is just like 5% of it,most rap is about expression of a hard time and people's hard times these days invlove drugs and such. I may self love rap and see it as a way to get your anger or sadness out and hope that those who read this article can get that.
