Profanity and Rap

So, rap has that quality, for youth anyway; it's a kind of blues element. It's physical, almost gymnastic. It speaks to you organically. Rap grows out of what young people really are today, not only black youth, but white - everybody.inverted quotes2

WHY DO YOU CURSE? WHY IS THERE PROFANITY IN RAP? To add drama, to express more emotion, certain things can be expressed more so through vulgarity.

Rap music isn’t just a genre in itself, it combines many other genres of music, like gospel, jazz, Motown, R&B and soul music. What makes rap, hip hop music super controversial is all the speculation that surrounds it. Everybody has an opinion on what it is and what it is not. Music like Rap changes with every generation. New beats and new artists shape the entire scene as they go along only to be changed again.

Rap can be seen as a lifestyle; it means different things to different people. The beauty and that unique twist that rap has is the fact of relating it with oneself. However to some people the aggression and anger that is portrayed within the lyrics of most rap songs can be misconstrued as vulgar and demeaning instead of being seen as an art, and expression of pain, anger, love, loss and loneliness. Rappers, and hip hop artists portray the troubled times in peoples lives, the music they create is supposed to help them vent, and help others heal.

But Rap music isn’t only about expressing the difficulties and hardships in peoples lives, its also about creating a feel-good factor, giving people an opportunity to laugh and be sarcastic! Its also about rapping about champagne, expensive cars, and partying. Music isn’t esoteric and is there for the taking!
