Rap Music: The Symbol of Resistance

We are familiar with the different types of art that feast on values in the eyes of the populace, who value modernity. Poetry is undoubtedly the first of these. Rap music is a new art form that has recently entered the world of this type of art. At first glance, it may seem that rap is a form of poetry transformed into a style of music. But rapping is a form of music in which ideas are given prominence, rhythmic words are intertwined, and people interact.

Afrika Bambaataa, popularly known as "The Godfather" by rap music fans, is considered one of the four major components of hip hop. He listed DJing, MCing (rap), B-boying (breakdance) and Grafitti as the four components of hip hop. The Universal Zulu Nation, formed by Bambata in the late 1970s, used these four categories of people for hip hop, but today Graffiti remains another independent art form.

Rapping is a refined form of pop music. Although the community views it as a gift, rapping music is centuries old. The word "rapping" was first used around the 15th-16th centuries. In 1541, the word "rap" was used in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary to mean "quick and dynamic."

Rap music originated in Africa. Centuries ago, the Griot people of Africa would play musical instruments as they told the rural stories of their family and region. This style of speaking is considered to be the first example of rap music. Later, in the 1960s, blacks in the United States began to study and pop up rap music. Many people believe that the real origin of rap music is from the Afro-American people. With the release of The Fatback Band's Kim Tim III (Personality Jock), the first rap song to be released commercially in 1979, rap music began to spread across the continents, not just in Africa and the United States. However, "Kim Tim III" was not recognized by many in the industry as the first rap song. It is considered to be a typical rap album, modelled on rap music. The song "Rapper's Delight", released in 1979 by Sugar Hill Gang, is considered to be the world's first rap song.
It can be said that the development of political rap music is also related to this history. Proof of this is that the songs criticize and discuss black emancipation, such as The Black Eyed Peas' "Where is the Love". Poems like Tupac Shakur's "How can we be free", James Brown's "Say it Loud - I am Black and I am Proud" and Billy Paul's "Am I Black Enough for You" help to sharpen it. These songs were a complete success in introducing the politics of racism without covering the face.

But hip hop music has done little less than confusing it with communism. This includes people like Loop Fiasco. Hip hop music had long been used for political discussions. Then the lines began to appear, alluding to the fall of capitalism and highlighting the socialist idea. This is how communist hip hop songs came to be.

Conspiracy theories (Illuminati) are another concept that can be found in hip hop music. Artists such as Professor Griff and the Jedi Mind have widely supported this satanist theory. Tupac Shakur is completely critical of this. Later, several artists began to sing rap, introducing themselves to the values of their religion. Thus rap music continued to grow with representation in various fields during the music and dancing were highly celebrated in American countries as much as blacks, slaves and migrants were also focused with the eyes of dirty and shame, and aware from the categorized and depressed situations make them hurt at the deepest chamber of their heart. At that time, the African migrants to America drew a type of culture and movement in the American context to make a mark on the Americans and other executives, this type of culture in America began to spread in the name hip hop music.

 
In the 1960s and 90s, this culture spread to all corners of the world, and it began to use as a language that people could understand their situation. Thus the art became ubiquitous. 
Typically, hip hop music consists of rhythmic lyrics using techniques like assonance, alliteration, and rhyme. Thus in recent years, hip hop has become common for the beat which has built up from individual drum samples. In addition to the beat, other sounds are often sampled, synthesized, or performed. Sometimes a track can be instrumental, just like the showcase of the skills of the DJ or producer. And usually, the rappers were accompanied by the instrumental track,  referred to as 'beat' which was performed by DJ, when DJs began isolating the percussion break from funk and disco songs. While the early role of MC was to introduce the DJ and the music keeping their audience very excited. MCs began by speaking between songs having that a  system of this genre of music, giving exhortations to dance, and giving greetings to audiences, jokes and anecdotes. Eventually, these deeds became more stylized and became known as rapping.

 
By 1979, hip hop had become a commercially popular music genre thus began to enter the mainstream of the US. In the 1990s, a form of hip hop called gangsta rap became a major part of American music cause of significant controversy over lyrics that were perceived as promoting violence, promiscuity, drug use and misogyny. Nevertheless, by the beginning of the 2000s, thus this genre becomes a staple of popular music charts and it was being performed in many styles across the world despite America.
