Rap, which is primary component of hip-hop, is one of the popular style music in the present day. Initially, Rap music was created by African American with their noisy element. They created rap with confusing and noisy element because they desire the notice from society. In the past, African American created rap music mainly attributed to seek for respect and indicate their hardship in money and live. Since African American was an ignored group in American society in the past, American White society was disregarded the rap which produced by African American. After struggling for a long period of time, African American’s rap was acknowledged by the White dominated American society and accepted by contemporary White teenager. It was glad for African American to get the response from the society. Also, it was a beginning step for other to pay attention to African American. For the rapper, they could earned money by producing a rap song to alleviate their finance problem. I got a question from the rap music in present day. Nowadays, most of the lyrics in the rap song is including promote crime, drug abusing, violence and disrespect to women elements that might cause the negative effect to the listener. Does it mean the essence of African American producing rap music have changed? In the past, the rapper always see White people as devil's follower. Does this changing represent African American is not anti white as rapid as they did in the past?
