Novalocity Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Rap along with music in general can develop people and affect them to change their perspective, and their personalities. My question for you is, Why is rap considered one of the most influential music genres to affect people compared to other genres in this world? I know that personally I have had a lot of influence from rap music specifically and it has changed the way I act, speak, and even see the world.

StringJunky Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Pop music reflects the tastes of the time and rap is part of the present generation. It'll change with the next generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novalocity Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I guess I mean more the psychology behind it because rap has always had the most influence over it's fans ever since the beginning. I'm not sure if it's just subject matter or if it is just the history behind it's creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. You should have no problem providing links to those studies then. Were they published in peer-reviewed journals?

You put the stroller in the trunk with your baby still in it! Rap seems to be more popular than 60s folk protest songs, but then all music is more popular now that so much is digital. Is rap more influential? Like all protest songs, the folks who should be listening shun this type of music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you always drive north, you'll never visit the south. Honesty can be sincere without brutality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People use to scream, cry, and pass out over for Sinatra, then Elvis, then the Beatles, Rollin' Stones, Michael Jackson, Prince, and son and so on. Every generation have artists they fall in love with. Nothing about what is happening rap music today is so different than previous generations. Separately I would argue that pure Rap no longer exists. It is all just various mixtures of popular music. One verse might be rapped yet other verses sung. Fluid rappers like Krs-one, Nas, Slick Rick, DJ Quick, and etc are gone and today's landscape is littered with acts which are difficult to place in a single genre like Childish Gambino and rapper who seem to specialize in guest appearances like Drake.
