Essay on History of Rap
History of Rap The most popular and influential form of African–American pop music of the 1980's
and 1990's, rap is also one of the most controversial styles of the rock era. And not just among the

modest peak on the pop charts. No longer could rap be ignored as a frivolous microgenre; here was
straight up social commentary, reporting from the front lines of the ghetto with more immediacy
than almost any newspaper or television broadcast. From it's inception, rap indured a lot of hostility
from listeners––many, but not all, White––who found the music too harsh, monotonous, and lacking
in traditional melodic values. However, millions of others––often, though not always, young
