The art form known as rap/hip hop has changed a lot since the first song came on the radio. “Rappers Delight” by Sugar Hill Gang was the first song that brought rap into the mainstream when the art form first started off as party music when its roots were first forming in the New York region, in the 1970′s.

Modern rap music is an art form that has various styles and beats inside the genre. The music that was once started as one style of music has developed into many for the various types of people and cultures who have gravitated towards the music, and who have also decided to participate and contribute to the art form known as hip hop.I was looking for more information and found it here. For instance, a typical rap track that is produced by the well known Dr. Dre has a mid tempo in the range of 85-100. That tempo and style was what defined a lot of music for west coast artist.

Music or beats that have a southern style or flavor in most cases has a tempo, in the range of 60-80 beats per minute. Sometimes these beats can often be mixed with dance music, for example, house or techno which is typically doubled the speed with the average range being 120-160 bpm. So in most cases you will hear an artist such as Ludacris or T.I. rapping on songs that cater to the style and the region of where they developed their craft the same as you will hear with an artist like Snoop Dogg or Jay-Z.

The influence of rap has reached all across the world, and there wouldn’t be a surprise by many who have seen the music change throughout the years, that one day a trend in hip hop that is started overseas will also influence the culture for those who are in the United States, instead of the trend always being the other way around.
