Storytelling to Braggadocio

Rap began as a subsection of hip-hop, a primary ingredient if you may, but before any of that, its roots can be traced back to old African culture. Rap began as a way to tell stories in rhythmic time over music, this method of delivery allowed people to understand the stories better.

Now, just as other genres of music have different subsections for different moods, such as sad songs, and happy upbeat songs, rap also follows the same trend.

An example of a subsection of rap would be

storytelling rap, in which the rapper talks about

a certain point in their life, sad or happy, and does

it in rhythmic time. Braggadocio rap is almost

opposite. The rapper is emptily bragging about

his achievements, or things that he may or not even

have.

The rap genre took a turn for the worst after the 90's because braggadocio took over the genre by storm. The rappers who talk about their struggles, and speak about issues in the world today are being recognized less than the rappers who talk about themselves arrogantly.
