Rap and the Hip Hop culture began in the early 70’s with artists like Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five with breakout songs like 'The Message' and DJ Kool Herc a Hip Hop pioneer. Over the years the music has evolved and changed with the times, with fun and fresh tracks from DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince (Will Smith) to Bel Biv Devoe and more recently has evolved to incorporate East and West Coast Rap Artists and several variations, including Gangsta Rap and Crunk Hip Hop.
Rap is a vocal style where the artist speaks in rhyme to a beat that is usually sampled from parts of other songs or DJs through synthesizers and other machines. Generally rap is a key component to Hip Hop. By the late 70’s, Hip Hop became a significant commercial music genre and entered into the mainstream; gaining increasing popularity through the 90’s.
Now, one of the most popular music styles, Rap and Hip Hop are consistently used as accompaniments to other genres; for example popular rock bands like Linkin Park have incorporated rap into their songs like 'In The End'.
