When you think of hip-hop, you might think of drugs, or jail, or murder. You might think that there's no real lyrics to a rap song, just some catchy beat with a bunch of rhymes mixed in. Hip Hop is about way more than the assumptions people have about the popular music style, because though there are some rappers who think that adding a few words about sex into a song will make it popular, there are also rappers who are actually saying something. They use rap music to express politics, and their views on life, and what they feel matters to them. Rap that actually reflects life and what needs to be changed, or just send a message to the listener is what I think of when I hear the word "Rap." There are Hip Hop songs about clubs, and parties that are good as well. Those types of songs can be good if the artist cares about the lyrics, and takes time to think them through, and these can either show a light side, or a dark side to parties and the streets. Whether it's about heavy issues, or lighter aspects of life, Hip Hop is something that reflects a person, and their thoughts and feelings on life.
Here are some Rap songs I recommend:
1. Stan---By Eminem and Dido
2. Wake Up---By Missy Elliott
3. Sing for the moment---By Eminem
4. Good morning---By Kanye West
5. Square Dance---By Eminem
6. Back in the day---By Missy Elliott
7. Shallow Days----By Blackalicious
