Rap Music – History and Facts Revealed
Rap music worked its way to mainstream music around the late 70s to the early 80s. Those who study history would trace rap musics roots way back in American history when Griots or West African folk poets used to deliver their stories in a rhythmic tone accompanied by drums and other sparse instrumentation. Today, the art of rapping has evolved into something that spans cultural and lifestyle dimensions.
Folk roots meet Jamaican-style
Rap music combines the poetry of the Griots with Jamaican-style toasting. Toasting is used by Jamaican disc jockeys or DJs in dance parties to coax people to dance to their music. DJs are the first rappers or MCs (short for master of ceremonies). They would speak over their music to shout out slogans like Work it, work it and Move it to keep encourage continuous dancing on the dance floor. Soon, toasting became longer and became less about dancing and more about life and having fun. Contextually, these raps can be insult raps, news raps, message raps, nonsense raps, and party raps.

Aging rock band reunions: Weren’t they bad enough the first time around?
To those who were born during the Great Depression, the onset of rock and roll music must have been as horrible to them as rap and hip-hop is today for Baby Boomers. If an individual from this aforementioned era was raised on the sounds of artists such as Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman, and Perry Como, then it stands to reason that rock and roll could be regarded as horrible.When disco became the rage at Studio 54 in the mid-1970′s and synthesized New Wave bands arrived a few years later, those who embraced the hard rock of the late 1960′s and early 1970′s likewise hated it.

Music History : The history of hip hop
Recently, a Black person told me that there was no Black music. The point that she was trying to make, was that since she knew White people that listened to hip-hop and that she knew Black people that listened to Country and Rock & Roll, therefore music has no color. I disagree. We, as Black people, need to be proud of all of the accomplishments that we have, and being the creators of Gospel, Jazz, Blues, Soul, Funk, New Jack Swing, Go-Go, Neo-Soul, R&B, Rap, and Hip-Hop is definitely a big achievement for us to be proud of.
Our music is derived from a strong, courageous people that even while being enslaved used their minds, talents, and creativity to use their music to not only entertain themselves, but to help set themselves free. It’s been said, that songs such as “Wade in the Water” and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” contain coded messages to aid slaves on their journey to freedom. Black music has definitely evolved from the Spirituals, Field Hollers, and Work Songs of slavery times.
