The history of rap music would not be complete in the absence of a look at the performers who make it all possible – the rap musicians. Most rap music typically includes one or more rappers who generally rap about their own individual life stories, important get togethers in their lives, or social problems they wish to make a public statement about. Rap songs could furthermore represent romanticized or fictional themes. The sky is the limit. Musically, rap songs generally have a strong rhythmic aspect with the spoken lyrics emulating the intense rhythm of the beat. Rap songs are known to make use of a lot of poetic techniques including easy word rhymes and alliteration.
The history of rap music furthermore shows that the instrumental track or beat performed by the disc jockey generally includes the rhythms and beat “samplings” from popular and/or well-known funk, rock, or soul songs. The sampled sounds and rhythms are synthesized, integrated, and reinvented with original twists by the performers.
Two other highly popular aspects of rap music that saw their hasty growth into the American mainstream are break dancing and tagging (graffiti). Break dancers and taggers are now stars in their own right with loyal followers and audiences throughout the world. Annual break dancing competitions are now truly popular even in countries throughout Europe and Asia. The history of rap music can be considered relatively new, yet it’s obvious ly a compelling influence in today ’s music world. Indeed,  the musical influence of New York(NY) City African American and Latino culture is now as pervasive globally as fast food hamburger chains.
