Rap should mean more than just music
Rap is a unique style that is different from all the other music genres. It is doing what is needed to survive. the plurality of people united by roots and origin. What attracts people to rap? Is it just catchy, the beats or something deeper?


Rap is the combination of lyrics and beats, actually it is lyrics spoken on musical beats. And when we say that individuals are united through music, meaning every single person in the world, rap unites together. What attracts individuals to rap? Is it catchy? Is it the musical beats that mixes the two together?
Rap is also known as urban poetry. This is why it is not the music for rural areas like country is. It is the underground power of those drawn together by music in bigger cities.

Once captured by the musical beats, most people (even younger ones) Start to hear the lyrics, and the lyrics may say how they are feeling that day. Most of you will feel the lyrics and the beat, especially when inside in a car driving at 65 on the freeway. It’s crazy how driving with the music "turnt up" has a way of captivating the mind and supplying a means of peace inside the lyric and beat.


Some hooks can be catchy and when sung with a certain tone, will stay in your mind long after. Top rappers have unique tones that some people may find attractive or sound the same as their own voice, and make it makes it more catchy.

One may say that Rap is the most pain expressing musical genre. Those who iterate it would say it "revives" their emotions not only dealing with love, as most other genres do. Rap is message is about life and its joy and its problems, primarily, ones of the Black community.
You guys should do the yourselves a favor, and never let Rapdie.

personally i believe we all feel empowered when we speak out and loudly about what touches our heart, and that people who cannot "sing" generally gravitate to other forms of musical self expression such as rap. however, i disagree that rap should be more than music. music without rap tends to be far more enjoyable than rap without music, and you can take the music out of most of the modern-day rap "hits" to prove the point.

rap is just a term we give it, just like "singing". and just like "singing", it loses most of it's value when it has no substance.
