Rap music is not just big but great that it's listened to by many individuals around the world. It is listened by people of different races, genders, and ages. This hip hop musical genre is categorized into some features that include hardcore rap, soft core rap, classic rap, underground rap, etc. The list goes on and on. Individuals have the luxury to listen, select and choose from a vast list of rap music.

 

Some of the famous artists many people enjoy listening to are DMX, Jay Z, and Eminem. Each artists have a unique character and style that appeal to fans but all rap artists have something in common found in their music that attracts many individuals to tune in. In almost all rap music instrumentalists and a sampled break beat form the backbone of a track. Also, a chorus range from atonal shouting to a sweet melody make up the components of rap music. These characteristics is what some people prefer to listen too, something they enjoy.

 

One of the main reasons why many people favor rap is because the music and lyrics portray a story which people can personally relate to. The lyrics tell a message about love, hate, crime, and so on. Also some lyrics touch topics on poverty and racism. Such topics people at some point in their life have had a similar experience or have dealt with. It may be the diverse features of rap music and the intensity of the beat and rhythm of the rap that have people greatly enthused by this genre of music.

    I like hiphop music too. But I remember that we have to write a paragraph. You write three paragraphs though. So you have several a topic. Hiphop is great music, famous artists have thier own characteristics and a reason why people like rap. Anyway, I like your analysis and I`m glad to see a hiphop listener.

    I liked your writings over hip-hop. It was comprehensive in that it briefly stated the history and the background of hip-hop and ended with the reasons to why people prefer to listen to hip-hop. However, I believe that the writing did not follow the instruction to have just one paragraph. Other than that, I liked the word choices in your writings.
