In the 1970's
funky lyrics talking about problems in the African American community with a poetic feel illuminated on the streets of Bronx, NY. It was expression, in which people could use with the protection of freedom of speech to get a point across to their communities. 1980's hosted beat-boxing, break dancing, and disc jockeying with someone saying a verse over a beat. These Hip-Hop songs meant something more ethnically vital than anyone today could ever imagine.
The 90's embodied thuggish Hip-Hop that turned into the phrase "Gangster Rap". Their points were to announce and represent where they were from, what type of neighborhood they were raised in and how disrespect is not allow on "The Streets."
Today Hip-Hop is
not based on lyrics as the pioneers relied on, though there are still some
around, but those who are still cultured in the art of rhyming do not get the same publicity a these other artists. Music is currently made by having a catchy hook and minimum lyrics that makes absolutely no sense. There are absolutely no messages being conveyed from the lot of them and love for the art has died out slowly. Now everyone could become a rapper with just a catchy tune and gold teeth shining everywhere. Hip-Hop has now transverse from a northern "projects atmosphere, to a southern country slang tune.
