The History Of Rap In The 80's

Much of their music gave way to other forms of music that can still be heard today. The Blues led to Country music, which in return mixed with Rock and Roll. The Blues also led to the popular R&B songs that are heard on the radio still today. Eventually they created another form of music known as Rap in the 80’s where they sing their current struggles just like they sung in fields. “Most forms of dancing in the Caribbean and South trace their musical and dance roots to the heritages of their enslaved African ancestors” (Dodson, 2003). All music has history that started somewhere, and for America most of our music can be traced back to the first slaves brought over as well.
