Rap is a form of spoken word poetry that is performed over a rhythmic beat. Rap originated in the late 1970s in the Bronx, New York, as a way for African American and Latino youth to express themselves and their experiences in the urban environment. Rap was influenced by various musical genres, such as blues, jazz, soul, funk, disco, and reggae, as well as by oral traditions, such as storytelling, toast, and griot. Rap also incorporated elements of DJing, such as scratching, mixing, and sampling, to create new sounds and styles. Rap soon became a popular and influential musical genre, spreading across the United States and the world. Rap also gave rise to various subgenres and movements, such as hip hop, gangsta rap, conscious rap, alternative rap, and trap. Rap has also been a platform for social and political commentary, cultural identity, artistic expression, and innovation.
