Rap Is More than Music
All The Lyrics
This is a style that stays aside all the other music trends. Not
aside, but somewhat deeper. The reason is it is a reflection of
the race, the plurality of people united by roots and origin.
Rap is the culture of Afro-Americans, the continuation of their
language and traditions. Rap is a mixture of speech and music,
actually it is speech laid on music or beat it's better to say.
And when we claim that people are united through music, meaning
every single human being on this planet, rap unites the ones
close to blood by music and then everybody else, either
welcoming or being hostile to a newcomer. What attracts people
in rap? Is it catchy? Maybe. Those non-natives to rap often
state the flow of speech is too quick and it is difficult to
differentiate the words. Sometimes it seems rap music is only
for those from the cradle. Foreigners are not invited.
Rap is classified as urban poetry of lyrical resistance. Thus it
is not the music for village like country music. It is the
gathering power of those united by music in big cities. The aim
is to resist the grieves because misfortunes are more dramatic
and numerous in urban areas.
Rap does not only speak to the mind and emotions, but speaks to
the society all around people, for people. If the words or
courage to say those words are not there, the subconscious takes
over and the Rap lyrics kick in.
But once captured by the beat, most people - mainly younger ones
- begin to hear the words, and the words may describe just how
they are feeling that day. If the boss came to work with an
agenda to screw everyone, some people will "feel" the words and
the beat, especially when enclosed in a car doing 70 on the
freeway. It's something about riding with the music turned
full-blast that has a way of absorbing the mind and supplying a
means of temporal escape.
Some songs have innocent words that impress upon the mind to be
released later at the water cooler. Some choruses are catchy and
when sung by certain artist will stay within the subconscious
long after. Various rappers have unique voices that some people
find attractive or along the same vocal tone as their own voice,
which it makes it easier to sing along.
First goes the beat, and then goes the lyrics! It is not as
smooth and tender as classical music, not as glossy as pop, but
it has the scream of pain of real emotion of the world's
harshness. One may even state that rap is the most pain
expressing music style. Those who sing it or it is better to say
read it revive their feelings not only concerning love, as most
of the other styles do. Their message is about life and the
problems, especially the ones of the Afro-American people. The
music of pain and oppression, rap is a remedy to the latter. Let
all the pills be like that!
