| | The terms rap and rap music are often used to describe hip hop music; the terms rap music and hip hop music are generally synonymous, although rap music is usually not used to describe hip hop songs without vocals. | | | Rapped lyrics were already a part of soca music, for example. | | | This style was innovated predominantly in soul and funk music, where beats and thematic music were repeated for the duration of tracks. |

| | Encyclopedia: Roots of rap music |
| | Rap music emerged from block parties after ultra-competitive DJs isolated percussion breaks, those being the favorites among dancers, and MCs began speaking over the beats (Toop, 1991); in Jamaica, a similar musical style called dub developed from the same isolated and elongated percussion breaks. | | | While rap as a musical genre started in the 80s, there have been many black and white performers who succeeded with rap-style performances in early jazz, blues, pop, and country performances. | | | The first rap record is generally acknowledged to have been "King Tim III" by the Fatback Band in 1979 (Toop, 1991), followed by rapping's namesake: Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight (Toop, 1991), but there were many predecessors and early indicators of the possibilities of chanting rhymes over a musical background. |

| | Rap |
| | Rap music combines rhythmic instrumental tracks created by a disc jockey, or DJ, with the spoken, rhyming bravura of a master of ceremonies, or MC. | | | The successful rap arranger, writer, and producer Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott gained fame as a performer with the 1997 release of her solo debut album, Supa Dupa Fly. | | | Writer John Pareles suggests, "In its structure and its content rap is the music of the television age, and the first truly popular music to adapt the fast, fractured rhythms, the bizarre juxtapositions, and the ceaseless self-promotion that are as much a part of television as logos and laugh tracks." |

| | Hip Hop Thoughts |
| | The original rap music audience was primarily poor and working-class black and Latino teenagers. | | | Whites are drawn to rap music made by black artists—who, along with the music, represent the flagrant disregard for authority and social norms that they no longer find in rock and roll. | | | The paradox of rap music is that while it often alerts the public to problems concerning Black Americans, the values and behaviors frequently promoted in rap lyrics and hip-hop culture may actually exacerbate those very problems. |

| | Music Feature Roots and Routes: The connections between dancehall and rap |
| | For examples of musical cross-breeding, it is fair to say that any dancehall album you listen to will have clear hip-hop influences, if not several guest rappers. | | | Rap and dancehall both share this reliance on rhythm, offering their lyrics over heavily laden bass tracks full of drum machine sound effects, handclaps, and even traditionally melodic instruments like the guitar or the horn used as rhythmic accompaniment. | | | Certainly the earlier innovations, like record players and microphones, were central to the musical forms, but it is the more recent developments in information technology that are speeding up the relationship between rap and dancehall music and the cultures out of which they come. |

| | The Roots do, and make it all sound as natural as the fact that this is one of the few hip-hop acts that's always provided its own live instrumental accompaniment, rather than relying on samples and vinyl-scratching DJs. | | | "Phrenology," the fifth and finest studio album by the Roots, is not only the best hip-hop release of the year, it's likely the best pop album, period. | | | The variety of freewheeling cameo appearances is mirrored by the album's stylistic reach, which stretches from rock and funk to jazz, Latin and the ferocious, Bad Brains/Minor Threat-inspired hardcore punk of the aptly titled "!!!!!!" |

A lot of rap these days is obviously just a bunch of arrogant crap accompanied by some of the poorest quality of “music” I have ever had the displeasure of hearing. | | | Up until the late 60’s or so, music often found a more universal appeal among listeners, the Beatles being a classic example. |
