James 3:17-18
“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”.

Reality Rap, The Most Questionable Sub-genre Of Hip Hop Music

Reality Rap is regarded as the most controversial sub-genre of rap music. It is because of its lyrical content and the meaning the rapper is attempting to convey. However, listeners of reality rap thought that it has heavy political meaning. The volatile grounds on which hip hop stood were seen as a the disillusionment of black youth with the outcomes of the civil rights movement. The effects of the increasing aggressive environment that the new political climate had produced forced young blacks to face a less optimistic reality than the individuals who struggled for equal opportunities had envisioned.

By the end of 1970s, the cultural interaction generated by the migration of racial unprivileged such as the Hispanics, Caribbean and African Americans, in South Bronx, resulted in the creation of what started to be hip hop music. Many of the creative aspects of gangster rap developed in correspondence with the postwar migrations and subsequent moving racial geography of New York City. The combining and mutual impacts of several ethnicities gave birth to this brand-new music genre that has its roots in Latino breakers.

Along with this particular audio system, there was the DJ, who with his style stripped away the melody to offer reggae’s deep, dark grooves throbbing popularity. DJs begun to toast, or talk on microphones during their performances about their prowess as lovers or DJs. Juxtaposed to the other three forms of art that worked with to create hip hop graffiti art, break dancing and rapping they make up the four pillars this music genre stands on. It quickly developed during the Reagan-Bush years to the art form now that we know.

Although gangster rap were only available in postindustrial New York City, it expanded quickly throughout the United States. The most significant alternative of rap in the mid-1980s began in Compton, in Los Angeles, California, that started to be known as gangsta rap.  It evolved from hardcore hip hop and purports to reflect metropolitan crime and the violent routines of inner-city youths. Words in gangsta rap have varied from accurate reflections to fictionalized records. Although the message that they were communicating on the west coast was not one that was good at all it still fit the mold of hip hop in the sense that it was still a form of self expression.

Reality rap is coarse and vulgar yet they showed no remorse for it. The point it tries to prove was that Street Music hip hop much like all other forms of art is normally a expression of the atmosphere that the artist lives in. It claims that if your father wasn't a part of your life and your mother was hooked on drugs that your reality would certainly be different than that of a person who came from a better environment. Although some are not fans of this facet of hiphop it won't change the fact that this music is here now to stay. Individuals have to face the reality that rap was created to allow everyone to voice their opinions no matter how crude or violent they may be.
