People thought rap music was just a fad. Than with it still stuck around, people started paying a little more attention.This is when people started realizing that their is more to rap music than just a beat and some angry black guy screaming his lungs off. People started paying attention and more so to the lyrics.This is when grandmaster flash, Rakim and all the real old school guys started coming into the scene.

It wasn't the rappers themselves who were gangsters, it was the media that used the term 'gangster rap' that gave hip hop the bad name. I mean their were even politicians standing up against these rappers and some of them even ended up on rapper's lyrics. However, music is a powerful force and it soon spread from the east coast to the west and the surprising thing is, the white kids really started digging rap music. I guess everyone could relate to the songs because we all go through different struggles and pains and rap music was actually healing this pain.

Now rap music and hip was simply unstoppable. Rap stars were now selling out shows and concerts and traveling like the rock star use to. They had millions of fans all over in different major cities and were making millions my going gold and platinum every time a CD was dropped. Rap music became an household name and even little kids were getting into it. Naturally the parents didn't like it but that is what happened when rock music came out and stuff.

They took over the USA while they were alive but in death they took over the entire globe. The names I'm obviously talking about are 2pac and Biggie. 2pac was from the west coast, Biggie from the east, and both were dubbed 'gangster rappers' by the media. Not knowing, that label only made them cooler and more out there.

People have been saying that same thing about hip hop since it started and this criticism isn't going away any time soon. What I can guarantee though is their is another artist who is on his way who is going to take hip hop to the next level. Yes Lil Wayne is doing his thing but at the same time their someone out there, I can feel it who is going to take it all to the next level.
