Classification Paragraph
Rap and R&B music expresses how a person is feeling and his or her
individuality. Rap and R&B music brings people closer together as a unit
and it brings me closer to people who like this music. There are two major
types of music like this. The first major type is rap music. Rap music is a
form of music comes from the African American urban communities. Rap is
music that tells a story and has to do with life and the struggles of many
people life‘s. Rappers like Big Pun and 2 Pac express the struggles on the
streets and also talk about hustling to make the money. The second major
type is R&B music. R&B music comes from all races and all communities.
R&B music is music that is mild in hip hop and soul combined. It tells us a
story. Artist use soft spoken rhymes, but they also have a beat. R&B artists
like Bill Withers and Bruno Mars express the pain in break ups and how to
love. Bill Withers expresses in his music the same thing and togetherness
like his song “Lean on Me”. I chose music because R&B and Rap have so
many similarities they both come from the hearts of talented artists and they
both tell stories of life’s struggles whether in a relationship gone bad or
trying to stay alive on the streets. I also like Rap and R&B because I like
the beats that go along with the lyrics. It takes the right kind of musical
genius to come up with good beats that match the artist lyrics.
