Music is something that everyone enjoys whether it is country, rap, rock, heavy metal, or polka. Even though country and rap are two types of music, they show many differences. Country is full of guitars, fiddles, and sometimes-even banjos. Rap is exactly the opposite. The smooth lyrics and inventive beats in rap make it pleasurable to listen to.

Similarly to rap, country has been rising in popularity. Country was first known as bluegrass. Bluegrass is a form of music that has no computerized effects, just pure instruments and vocalization.
