| | Rapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Rapping is one of the elements of hip hop and the distinguishing feature of hip hop music; it is a form of rhyming lyrics spoken rhythmically over musical instruments, with a musical backdrop of sampling, scratching and mixing by DJs. | | | Rapping (as a self-conscious artistic school) began as a variation on the toasting found in reggae, funk and dub music, mixed with influences from jazz-related performance poetry (Langston Hughes's album Weary Blues being an important example; the Beats also notable), radio DJ patter, and the tradition of playing the dozens. | | | See roots of rap music for earlier forms that also contributed to rap. |

| | Rapping: it’s not just for tefillin |
| | Rap albums have been outselling albums by popular rock and pop style groups for the first time, and seven of the current top ten radio songs in the country are in the rap or hip-hop categories, according to the Billboard music chart. | | | Rap, as it is known today, was introduced to mainstream music relatively recently, with The Sugarhill Gang’s 1979 hit “Rapper’s Delight” which was considered by many to be the first recorded rap song. | | | The urban attire and sometimes coarse terminology that rap music is so famous for have found their way through the music to every avid fan, and the clothing that one sees in most rap music videos are becoming increasingly popular among its listeners, including those that attend the school. |

| | I consider the message rap the equivalent of what strings were to rock 'n' roll in the late '50s - a capitulation to the adult norm who can't accept the music on its own terms. | | | "Because most rappers started out with a DJ playing records for musical accompaniment (no live musicians), many rap records are based around the chords and bass lines of popular songs." | | | The people who considered "Sixty Minute Man" by Billy Ward and the Dominoes, "Annie Had a Baby" - as the pinnacles of '50s RandB now are super uptight over the - in quotes - hotel/motel lyrics of rap. |

| | Most of us recognize rap music by its characteristic angry bravado and preoccupation with guns, gangsters and girls; then along comes Racism Exposed featuring vocalist Shoanna Z (with appearances by Moe Z with Tionna Day, lyrics by Don Kennedy and Rocco Gotti, and music by Cube-Savannah Street Music on Corad Records). | | | Rap music has been around for 20 years. | | | In all of my years of listening, I don't recall any of these artists skewering liberals, railing against Democrats or closing their album, as Shoanna does, with recitations of the Gettysburg Address, the Bill of Rights, and "Timeless Quotes" from Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater and Martin Luther King. |

it takes real, imaginative, quick thinking and creative lyricism to freestyle well. | | | Freestyling is where an emcee simply ‘raps’ for an unlimited number of time, either over a basic beat or no beat. |
