Popular Music

Rap music tops the music charts nation wide. The hip-hop subculture has hit mainstream with an unreal impact. Since the late 1980's rap music has been called the “Anti Christ” in our culture, because of it's so-called influence on society. Rap is defined as a style of popular music consisting of improvised rhymes performed to a rhythmic accompaniment. Rap has always been associated with the black community.
