Music is an art that draws from social cultural setup of people and is an integral part of society. Historical records show that music was a part of social practices in many traditional communities. Even today, music forms part of social life and every community has its own genres of music. Moreover, affiliation to certain music genre intimates of a social identity that is used to identify a particular group of people. Society has got benchmarks for accepting or rejecting music and music that generally reflects its beliefs and aspirations is appreciated.  Rap music was developed in low income areas in the United States from where it spread to the rest of the world has not won the hearts of many in society since it represents the gangster identity. Although rap music represents an identity of a certain section of American culture, it remains controversial owing to the different ways in which it appeals to different groups in the society.

Music Appreciation

Music draws from social and cultural experiences and therefore narrates what a community has experienced.

It gives a community’s outlook on a given issue and expounds on what society believes in. Music is taken to be a form of communication which assists to communicate and pass cultural practices from one generation to another. In addition, music has always been used for religious purposes. Songs are used for praise and worship, expressing what a particular religious group believes in.

While music draws inspiration from social life experiences, not all genres of music are acceptable to all members of the society.  Society is quite segmented based on different demographic factors that are reflected in appreciation of music. For example, the old and young in society show appreciation of different genres of music. Similarly, different religious groups prefer different genres of music.  These differences emanates from the different ways in which social groups perceive given genres of music. Consequently, some genres of music receive criticism from sections of society due to unacceptable content.  This implies that there are some genres of music that will elicit a lot of controversy especially when that particular kind of music is appreciated by a small group in society. Rap music is a perfect example of a genre that is controversial in the modern world. This genre of music has been identified with gangster lifestyle and has not been appreciated by large section of society but is only segmented to the young generation. Even among the young generation, rap music is still controversial.

Defining Rap Music

A definition of rap music is important before understanding the course of development of rap music and why it has become controversial. Having a concrete understanding of rap music provides ground for knowing why it has become controversial. Rap music is a style of popular music that was developed by New York African Americans in the 70s and became a symbol of urban youth identity. In rap music, words are improvised. They are spoken rhythmically and the music features rhyming sentences.  Rap music mainly is mainly composed of compose of rhyming lines which are spoken over and over. This genre of music is mostly appreciated in urban areas and is particularly popular among urban youths.

Controversy in Rap Music

Throughout history of music, censoring certain genres has been evidently imposed in different ways.  Censoring of music has mainly targeted controversial lyrics which are not accepted in society by most individuals.  Many organizations have in the past blamed controversial music for bringing about and promoting different vices in society and every new genre of music has been met with controversies and disputes. Adults often raise controversy over music they perceive fosters juvenile delinquency. In most cases, controversial music is only that music which has appeal to the youths.  The origin of the music is by itself controversial. Having originated from controversial suburbs, rap music had to fight its way up to be accepted in the mainstream society. While rising through the ranks, rap music has raised controversies since it was not accepted by all groups. However, it is evident that very few of the detractors understand what the music entails.
