Rap: negative or positive impact on society Every since I have known rap music existed, I have been a huge fan of it. Some people say that it sends the wrong messages and are not appropriate for our children today. This is true in some cases, but all reap music is not alike. In fact, rap music has not always been the way it is now. It is a lot of rappers that are positive and benefit charities and concerts. The people in our society are so quick to criticize rap music, but never look at the positive side of it and realizing that there are different kinds of rap. Rap has not always been the way it is today. Back in the 80’s rap was mostly about graffiti, break dancing, and emcees. Groups like Kool and the Gang made rap a fun thing. When the 90’s came around, a new group stepped into the picture, NWA. NWA created a new image of rap, Gangster rap. They rapped about violence, drugs, money, and women. This is when violence in rap lyrics first stepped in and put a negative impact on rap in general. Violence…this is the first thing that comes to people’s minds today when they think of rap music.
