Rap and Soul Music

RAP AND SOUL MUSIC.

By okolo richard

Music has always been around from the beginning of time. It has grown from

stage to stage over the past decades. Different decades carry along their different

memories of music. The type of music listened to in the seventies, eighties and

nineties, have their obvious differences. nowadays, in the 21st century, the two most

popular forms of music are Rap and Soul. Although rap and soul both require a lot

of time, money and talent to create, soul music is more complicated, influential,

Rap and soul music have grown tremendously over the past years, and both sell in

. . .
I don’t think there could be any better explanation for it. As technology advances, and new forms of creating music are

discovered, talents are also discovered.

Rap music has always been more appealing to young African Americans than

soul. Most teenagers listen to rap music, while some grow to mature and listen to soul

music, later on in their lives. Although

Gangster rap is the most common form of rap music, not all rap songs portray

Negativity, there are some that contain positive messages and advises, influential

to their listeners. After they

know all these, they would have to work hard to train their voices, and build up their

talents, to make people not only hear and enjoy their music, but to actually be able to feel

and relate to it. From a lighter less violent pace, to a harder,

more intimidating violent pace, known as hard core rap or gangster rap. Soul, is one of the most stagnant forms

of music, it has pretty much remained the same for a long time. The contrast

is so obvious, compared to the disco rap, which people now call “old school”. Soul music is danced to in a

slow and soft manner, while rap has been known to have a loud hard banging, ear

popping base that requires a much faster body movement.

Both rap and soul music can be played and danced to. While

soul music is positive, and portrays and true love, which is everlasting and never

changing.

I guess its now clear why soul music has remained the same for a long time,

compared to rap.
