Rap
Rap is a style of singing used by Hip Hop which first appeared in the USA in the early 1970s. It started in the Jamaican-American, African-American and Latino.American communities in the big cities of the USA and its lyrics mainly deal with the life of urban people; they are often about gangs, violence and drugs.
Rapping, or Mcing, is basically speaking following the music; while the D.J. Plays the music, the MC (Master of Ceremonies) performs his vocal techniques.
The Hip Hop culture revolves around four basic elements: graffiti, writing, rapping and Dj’ing and its dance styles, of which the most prominent is breakdance.
Rap music mainly uses synthesizers, but real instruments such as the guitar, the piano, the electric bass and the drums are also very common.
