The Evolution Of Local Hip Hop

By Tammie Caldwell


Hip Hop is one of the coolest genres of music. It consists of rhythmic sound with lyrical rhymes. This is the category that rap falls under. Under this, there are also other subcultures that came. Breakdance is influenced by the beat of this kind of tune. Those who live down South of Florida are into it. As a matter of fact, everything about this culture started there.

The instruments being used here are usually percussion and turntables. In the later developments, it has incorporated beatboxing as well, which is done by creating a drum like beat using the mouth. Many are already skilled with this. Then dubstep came which is also one of the beats being used in rap. Local hip hop Fort Lauderdale, FL has so many talents to showcase. Some of them are independent or indie artists.

Rap falls under this category but this genre is not generally about rap. It can be accompanied and mixed with other music genres like Rhythm and Blues, pop, and even rock. There are also other varieties of this subculture. You can find that DJing is also very interesting, It is not necessary that the artist has to sing or rap. He or she can also be a break dancer, a graffiti artist, or a scratcher.

On the other hand, he breakdancers do not produce the beats. They simply jive into it, while the graffiti artists are artists who associate their arts with urban culture, which is the culture of hip hop. They have a very booming culture as many other sub genres emerged one after another.

In combining this with other music genres, like Rhythm and Blues, it is incorporated with a chorus in between chanted verses. The songs are very phenomenal because of the theme being used. They are very youthful as well. Some of them are using old songs and do remixes. For some, when you talk about remix, it will not be complete without rap.

It was even mixed with rock or metal early in two thousands. Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, and a lot more, were the names that anyone usually drops when asked about rap metal. This is another subculture of both hip hop and metal music. But this has become controversial, especially because of the lyrics and the influence of the artists.

In the early two thousands, rap metal boomed. It was the genre that has been introduced in the late nineties by Limp Bizkit. However, some lyrics are really obscene and that they are bad influences to the youth. But many claim that it actually just depends on the listener.

But this is a good form of expressionism. This is one of the most artistic ways to exercise freedom of speech. Many have been sued because of anti government lyrics but they always get away because of the freedom of speech clause.

Despite this fact, they are still being supported by the music industry. They are sometimes sued because of their offensive lyrics but musicians are usually protected by the freedom of speech clause. There are others that think they are the bravest and boldest people they know so they idolize them.
