Rap is a word in black slang, which is equivalent to "talking". The Chinese meaning is rap music, which is a special form of singing that speaks rhythmically. Below I will bring you a relevant introduction to rap music, welcome to read!
The origin of rap music
From one of the earliest phrases, it was Used in raps, and may be found on the semen recording "Talker's Delight" (1979) by the Sugarhill Gang. In addition to rap music, the rap music subculture also includes other forms of expression, including break dancing and graffiti art as well as a unique vocabulary of colloquialisms and popular ideas.
The rebuke originated in the South Bronx area of ??New York in the mid-1970s. The rise of rap paralleled the birth of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s in many ways (see Rock 'n' Roll: Rock 'n' Roll): originated in the African-American community and was both recorded by small, independent record labels and marketed almost exclusively to black audiences. . By both cases, the new style gradually attracted white musicians, some of whom began to perform it. For rock 'n' roll it was a white singer from Mississippi, Elvis Presley, who broke the pop charts in Billboard magazine. For rap it was a white group from New York, the Beastie Boys, and the hit song "Walk This Way" (1986), a collaboration between black rap group RUN-D.M.C and white hard rock band Aerosmith. After 1986, the use of samples and articulated sound patterns became prevalent in black and white performer pop music, greatly modifying previous concepts of what constituted a legitimate song, composition, or instrument.
Introduction to rap music
In 1979 the first two rap records appeared: "Tim King III (Jock)," a record by the band Fatback, and "Talker's Delight" ," by the Sugarhill Gang. A series of poems recited by three members of the Sugarhill Gang, "Talker's Delight" became a national hit, reaching No. 36 on the Billboard magazine pop chart. The content of the speech, mainly tall tales spiced with fantasy, was derived primarily from a pool of material used by most of the earlier interlocutors. The backing track for "Talker's Delight" was supplied by hired studio musicians, replicating the basic groove of the pop song "Good Times" (1979) by American disco group Chic.
Perceived as a novel by many white Americans, "Talker's Delight" quickly inspired "Charmed" (1980) by New Wave Band Blondie, as well as a number of other popular records. In 1982 Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rocks" became the first rap record to use synthesizers and an electronic drum machine. With this recording, rap artists began to create their own backing tracks rather than simply providing other people's work in a new context. A year later Bambaataa introduced the sampling capabilities of emulator synthesizers in "In Search of the Perfect Beat" (1983).
Sampling leads into the question of sound attribution. Some artists claimed that by sampling recordings of a famous black artist, such as funk musician James Brown, they were challenging white corporate America and the recording industry's representation of their own black culture. Adding to the puzzle is the fact that rap artists also challenge Brown and other musicians to control themselves, control, and compensate for the use of their intellectual creativity. By the early 1990s a system emerged whereby most artists requested permission and negotiated some form of compensation for the use of samples. Some local sampled performers, such as funk musician George Clinton, have released compact discs (CDs) containing many sound bites specifically to promote sampling. One role of sampling was a newfound sense of music history among black youth. Earlier artists such as Brown and Clinton were celebrated as cultural heroes, and their older recordings were reissued and repopularized.
By the late 1990s, however, licensing samples had become expensive, and many rappers began creating backing tracks and sounds from scratch instead.
During the mid-1980s, rap moved from the fringes to the mainstream of the American music industry as musicians began to embrace new styles. In 1986 the raps reached the top ten on the Billboard pop charts with "(You Got) Fight for Your Rights (To the Party!)" by Beastie Boys and "Walk This Way" by Run DMC and Aerosmith. Known for incorporating rock music into its rap, DMC became one of the first rap groups regularly featured on MTV. Also during the mid-1980s, the first female rap group Consequence, Salt N Pepa, released the singles "Show Stoppa" (1985) and "Push It" (1987); "Push It" reached Top 20 on Billboard The Pop Music Chart
In the late 1980s the reviled segment became highly politically involved, resulting in the most overt social agenda in pop music since the urban folk movement of the 1960s. The groups Public Enemy and Boogie produced came down to represent this political style of rebuke. Public Enemy came to prominence with their second album, which featured Thousands of Countries Holding Us (1988), and the theme song "Fighting Force" from the film Do the Right Thing (1989), nailed by African-American filmmakers Proclaiming its importance in black American culture, Public Enemy's lead talker, Chuck D, referred to it as "Black CNN" (Cable News Network).
Alongside the rise in political denunciation came the introduction of the gangsta denunciation, which attempted to describe the sex, drug, and gang violence prohibited lifestyles in ghetto America. In 1988 Straight Outta Canton, gangsta rap's first major album, was released by Southern California rap group Niggaz with Attitude (N.W.A). The songs from the album generated an extraordinary amount of controversy for their violent images and inspired protests from a number of organizations, including the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). But attempts to censor gangsta only serve to publicize the music and make it appealing to black and white youth. N.W.A became a platform for launching the solo careers of some of the most prominent talkers and rap producers in the gangsta style, including Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy-E. < /p>
The first generation of Chinese rap occupied the entire decade of the 1990s. Although the first generation was a bit lonely, the result of fighting alone only cleared the roadblock for the second generation of rap that gathered new people in 2000. But as rappers who record folk survival forms in an era of constant openness, they bear the same pressure as a revolutionary. Full of melancholy and anger. As Cui Jian sang: ?I move forward against the wind
The second generation: ?I am a hippie, I exist?
