Rap music has been around for decades. It is a way for people to talk about their opinions and put them into music. Many people back in the day thought that rap did not have a good influence on the society. There are people today that still think the same way but it will always be a part of our culture whether they like it or not. Rap music has definitely changed nowadays from the way it was back then.
In contrast to the rap music that was played in the past to the present time, it has drastically changed. In the early 90's, rap music was all about influencing people and expressing their opinions. According to www.knightcrier.org, "Rappers used their music to give listeners a point of view of their world and struggles."
