History: does it go far back in the past?

Hip-hop, which originated in South Bronx, is a genre of music most often with
strong, dynamic rhythms, and a rapping vocal track. The genre started in the
1970s. Since the genre of hip-hop was founded at an early age, is it still a
popular genre. Well, I'm not going to tell you here, so read on.

Why is it still a popular genre?

Why is it still a popular genre? Well, the rapping
manifested a different kind of vibe when compared to
country or pop. The rhymes sound soothing to the ear, and
the subtle flow of sounds through your ear makes it even
better. There are also some parts where the tempo just
makes you want to groove into some moves.
But of course, these are just my opinions. And since we’re
going into the rhythms and the tempos, why not just find
out what type of music It is?

Type of music
Hip-hop was made as an anti-drug and anti-violence genre. The genre
included artificial rhythmic music, that often goes along with rapping, which
lines of poetic speech sang rapidly. This genre of music is often indicated
with strong beats.

Hip-hop artists of today: Are they doing well?

Drake was born on October 24, 1986, in Canada and made it into the music industry.
Drake is an influential individual in present-day popular music. He has been credited for
popularizing singing and R&B taste in Hip-Hop. His net worth is around 250 million dollars,
as you can see, is a lot.

Travis Scott also made it big in the music industry. He is an American rapper, singer, and
songwriter born on April 30, 1991. Throughout his career, he has made songs that were first
on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. And even more impressively, he had 80 songs charted on
the Billboard before. Isn’t that crazy?? Overall, Travis Scott has a total net worth of 80
million dollars, and boy if I had this kind of money, life would be great.

So, I’ve shown you all the facts about how much hip-hop artists make, but if you still aren’t
convinced, the next chapter will be about how hip-hop and social issues have a bigger connection. So if
you’re an activist or a person of influence, you are going to want to stick around.

Social issues that hip-hop is involved in

As said, hip-hop originated in the South Bronx.
It has been connected with social issues in the
United States, particularly African-American.
Hip-hop lyrics are spoken out helping raise
awareness and recognizing social issues such
as police segregation (police treat whites better
than blacks), poverty, and drugs.

The relationship between Hip-hop and social

injustice/issues can be seen very clearly. Now
you must wonder, why are they doing this? Well,
back in the day, and even in present times, people were treated badly because of
color discrimination. Most Hip-hop influencers and African-American, they took it
seriously and found a way to spread cognizance with their lyrics.

CONCLUSION
In my opinion, hip-hop is a great and fun genre to listen to. It’s unique and
features rhymes that are sung swiftly. Although some people might not agree with
me, I think that this is a great genre to listen to but not recommended for kids as
there are vulgar words.
