Rap and hip hop are two genres of music that originated in the African American communities of New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Rap is a form of vocal delivery that incorporates rhyme, rhythm, and wordplay, often accompanied by a beat or musical accompaniment. Hip hop is a broader cultural movement that encompasses rap, as well as other elements such as DJing, breakdancing, graffiti, and fashion. Rap and hip hop have influenced many aspects of popular culture, such as language, art, politics, and social issues. For example, rap and hip hop have introduced slang terms such as “cool”, “dope”, and “fresh” to the mainstream vocabulary. They have also inspired artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Banksy to create graffiti-style paintings and murals. Moreover, rap and hip hop have given voice to marginalized groups and challenged the status quo on topics such as racism, poverty, and police brutality. Rap and hip hop are also diverse and dynamic, with many subgenres and styles emerging over time, such as gangsta rap, conscious rap, trap, grime, and drill.
One of the subgenres of rap and hip hop that has become very popular in recent years is trap. Trap music originated in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1980s and became popular in the 2000s with artists such as T.I., Gucci Mane, and Young Jeezy. Trap music focuses more on drugs and drug dealing, and the name “trap” comes from the place where drugs are sold. Trap music typically has a minimalistic beat with a complex hi-hat pattern and synth drums. Trap music usually has a more energetic and catchy delivery than other subgenres of rap. Some of the famous trap artists that you may have heard of are:
