Most people always seem to caterogise rap into the stereotypical view- "YO THATS BLACK MUSIC!". They create the stereotype that rap is only for black people but why ? Yes I'll admit that majority of rap songs these days rap about drugs, sex, money, gats, shooting the cops and what not - but we should draw the line right now and make it clear that, that is 'gangster rap' - a specific genre within rap - there is SO much more to rap than what people perceive it to be.
- Rap is an expression, it allows one to express one self -our ideoligies, emotions, values, life, hopes and dreams.
- Rap is poetry it is lyrical.
- Rap is intelligence.
- Rap is genius- in the sense that it is all constructed in a manner to be tuned within a beat.
- Rap is meaningful music. Something in which people can relate to and identify with.
Just for laughs- Chris Rock's Comedy Skit on Rap :) lol!
