Rap music or Hip Hop when first came out and started getting popular, everyone thought it was just something the kids are liking at the present and it's going to go away. This was because it was the first time that the vocals were basically rhymes and it was like someone was just reading them out. I understand why people could think it was going to be just a fad.

This 'struggle' gave birth to groups like N.W.A and Bodycount who later the media started calling 'gangster rappers'. They tried to stop gangsta rap but as I mentioned in my other articles, music can't be stopped. It spread like wildfire in the American youth and surprisingly in the 'white' suburbs and soon became the thing for all kids in the U.S.A. You didn't have to be black to relate to the oppression going on in the ghettos because the struggle was painted so perfectly with words in most of these songs that everyone could feel it.

Soon rap became a force to reckon with. With guys like LL Cool J bringing it to the mainstream with full force and building an almost New Kids On the Block like fan base. Yes rap music was not just a fad anymore, but it was a full fledged music genre. It seemed like rap music was reaching it's tipping point but than came in two rappers that have effected and helped this genre more in their deaths than while being alive.

Now again people started seeing somewhat of a downfall in rap music, so they stared saying stuff like rap music is going to die out and this it but than came two heroes. One from the west coast and one from the east. Tupac and Biggie tore up the entire industry and re-molded the whole genre. It was like a gift from the rap gods and after making the biggest impact ever, they both passed away in a deadly shooting. Regrettably, they didn't see eye to eye but their legacy and talent was out of this world.

Regardless of what anyone says, I feel like rap music is just evolving. Hip hop is dead considering when it comes to the lyrics, but I won't really say that. I think it's evolving and their is going to be another artist or a few of them who are going to take hip hop to another level. This is my prediction and my promise.
