Connotaions of Rap

picture in their heads of black men cussing, guns, marijuana, lots of gold,

and girls looking like prostitutes. Parents and teachers put an image in

their kidfs head that Rap music is gbadh, and they donft want their kids

to be influenced by something that is negative. With the way Rap music is

advertised in the US, I would have to agree with that looking at it from an

average parentfs point of view. But what people donft know is that Hip

Hop isnft just a type of music, itfs a culture. Itfs a culture full of

original elements, and itfs also a place where people can show others what

theyfve got and who they are. Within this original society called Hip Hop,

there are basically four main elements of MC, Break, Tag, and DJ. And each

is represented by millions of people all over the globe. When the four come

together, it makes Hip Hop music, and people live the music instead of

MC-ing is what people know as rapping. The main point of an MC is to make

your crowd enjoy your music, and to send a message out to them. Unlike most

of the lyrics out on the market today, Hip Hop contains meaning and it sends

. . .
Itfs a way of communication in the form of

Hip Hop. People spin on their heads, do handstands, slide with just their

hands on the ground, spin on the floor with their legs spread out, and all

kinds of astonishing moves. Although Breaking has become a small part

of the whole dance scene in Hip Hop today, itfs the first form of Hip Hop

dances. Their music

represents their area and their people, and itfs no different from a farmer

singing about his cows and chickens in Idaho. I

personally canft relate to the ghetto, guns, and all of that ggangsterh

stuff, so I donft listen to that genre all that much, but there are many

elements people can pick up from the Hip Hop music.

Before, their main goal was to have the knowledge of the music so they can

make people dance according to the mood and time. Now, DJs have lots more jobs and probably the

toughest element of all. Its definitely

not just about claiming area by the gangs, and its not just about

vandalizing other peoplefs property. This is actually a

controversial issue because many people believe its wrong. Also scratching records

were their performance. Many rappers put out lyrics about what they believe in, their own

philosophies, entertaining others, and although it may seem unlikely, many

lyricists seem like Einstein to me. This is probably the most popular form of Hip

Hop in Japan today because its so easy to begin and watch.
