Rap and hip-hop emerged in the 1960s as a response to social, political, and economic challenges faced by African American communities, particularly in urban areas like the Bronx. Influenced by the Civil Rights Movement, artists began using music as a platform to express their experiences, struggles, and resistance. The genre combined elements of spoken word, rhythm, and beat, drawing from earlier musical styles such as funk and soul. This cultural movement laid the groundwork for the evolution of hip-hop as a powerful voice for marginalized communities.
HipHop started as a sort of club/party music. Then the battle element of hiphop came and Mc's would diss each other for fun. Rappers became more political aware, and became more lyrical and began to flow. Gangsta rap was popular in the later 80's and early 90's. The mid-90's was probably the peak of HipHop with classic such as Liquid Swords, Illmatic, OBFCL2, Reasonable doubt, Ready to die and All Eyez on me being released. Rap started to become commercial, The south started taking over HipHop. Suddenly record sales mattered more than mic-skills and subject matter in the lyrics. After that HipHop died.
