The word "rap" is believed to have originated in the 1960s within African American communities in the United States, derived from the slang term meaning "to talk" or "to converse." It was initially used to describe a style of informal, rhythmic speech that became a key element of hip-hop culture. The term gained prominence as the genre of rap music emerged in the late 1970s, characterized by its rhythmic vocal delivery over beats.
