It may seem to be a daunting task to trace back the history of rap music and history of bossa nova, though you can see one similarity—informal music associated with highly informal dance style. As far as origin of rap music is concerned most people agree that it is Afro-American and Latino Street culture of New York City. Not only this city but the surrounding areas as well that have influence of African people and their culture. If we see it carefully, then we will certainly notice that rap music rhyming poetry combined with heavy drum beats and music usually sung at higher pitches. Most of the time rap music is associated with chorus sung by another performer in their original traditional pop, rhythm and blues. Though, rap music was primarily an American music style with African influence over music and lyrics, but recently it has been spread evenly to nearly entire world. There is hardly any country or nation, where rap music can not be seen in some form or other. Perhaps this is one of the most sought after music styles amongst the youngsters. But, when it comes to trace back the history then it is believed that hip hop and rap music started in the early 70s and during the late 70s and early 80s it gained much popularity not in America but throughout the world. The history of rap music and hip hop music is full of controversies and bans, as the lyrics revolve around sex, drugs and crime; even the most well-known pop stars and hip hop musicians and singers were found to be associated with several controversies in their life. For that reason, no matter how well loved this music style was or still is, but it has always had a terrible reputation in the eyes of mainstream society and its people around the world. Sometimes it gang culture is also criticized along withy it dirty lyrics. Unfortunately or coincidently one of the members of the Last Poet was sentenced to prison and he wasn’t able to perform for their second album later within a year.
