Rap Culture

As a fan of rap I sometimes find it difficult to agree morally with it's content. The lyrics over the last 30 years have gotten more and more vulgar. But being young and not having witnessed it's progression and humble beginnings, I can't solely judge it by today's standards. Rap was an outlet and popular way of expression in male African American culture. But just as any other thing in society all are accepted into it because we are all human. Looking back as far as the 70's New York was the home for early rap. DJ's would play a beat and artists would sing or speak along in unison with it. Rap has come a long away. Whether it's overall acceptance, wide range of people that engage in it, and the overall content. It's popularity right now is on top and something when we look back our generation will be remembered for. But just as all other genres have their time, rap will as well. And the present is it's overall golden age as far as popularity goes.
