 Introduction
• Rapping is a musical form of vocal delivery that
incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street
vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety
of ways, usually over a backbeat or musical
accompaniment.
• Rap is usually delivered over a beat, typically provided
by a DJ, turntablist, Beatboxer, or performed A capella
without accompaniment. Stylistically, rap occupies a gray
area between speech, prose, poetry, and singing. The
word, which predates the musical form, originally meant
"to lightly strike"
• Early rap was seen as a substitute for ganglings, rap
battles replacing physical violence. It is believed that
with the scale of commercial rap and gangsta in the
1990s, the non-violent essence of rap has
disappeared, many rappers boast of drugs, weapons,
crimes, and violence. In these times, rap music began
to be heard by a wider audience.
 Some of the most successful rappers are the
following:

 N.W.A

N.W.A (an abbreviation for Niggaz Wit Attitudes) was an American hip
hop group from Los Angeles, California. They were among the earliest
and most significant popularizers and controversial figures of the
gangsta rap subgenre, and are widely considered one of the greatest
and most influential groups in the history of hip hop music.Active from
1986 to 1991, the rap group endured controversy owing to their music's
explicit lyrics, which many viewed as being disrespectful to women, as
well as to its glorification of drugs and crime.The group was
subsequently banned from many mainstream American radio stations.
In spite of this, the group has sold over 10 million units in the United
States alone. Drawing on their own experiences of racism and
excessive policing, the group made inherently political music.They were
known for their deep hatred of the police system, which sparked much
controversy over the years.
