In music today there are many different kinds and styles of music. You have hip-hop, rock and roll, country, etc. But what a lot of those styles have are different styles within them that makes that kind of music unique. The main style I am going to focus on is hip hop music. What I'm going to do with this style is discuss the various styles of hip hop that actually make up hip hop music. This style of music is filled with artists who express hip hop music in a certain way that separates them from different hip hop artists. In hip hop, there are various styles that give hip hop a different sound to attract various listeners. If this music had one style, there definitely wouldn't be as many fans of hip hop that there are now. Hip hop music consists of East coast rap, West coast rap, hardcore rap, gangsta" rap, dirty south rap, country grammar rap, underground rap, and various others. All of these styles have its own fans that may not like other styles of hip hop. These are what are making hip hop such a growing industry. They are attracting listeners from all over the world, hitting them from every angle.
The first style of hip hop I want to focus on is East Coast rap. East Coast rap is a style that is of coarse from the East Coast, but mainly from the New York, New Jersey, Philly area. This style of hip hop has its own sound based on beats and lyrics. Beats and lyrics are what mainly separates all styles of hip hop, but East Coast rap has its own certain sound that can be spotted easily by hip hop listeners. East coast beats have a certain sound to them that are made up by different instruments and sound effects. The beats seem to have a simple drum pattern and a sound that is not to up tempo, but has a "chill" sound to it. But the main thing with East Coast rap that makes it different is the lyrical content. East Coast rappers seem to have a larger range of vocabulary than any other style of music.
