Reality Rap Held Accountable for the Occurrence of Violence

By Farah Fan


Reality rap is third studio album by Queensbridge hip hop trio Infamous Mobb. It was a creation by Alchemist, Sid Roams, Erick Sermon, Havoc, Evidence, and others. What was once known as the peaceful movement had now grew to become quite threatening to those in power. Political figures and public safety officers started to fight to have the music performed shelves and the concerts of these controversial artist canceled. At this point in time in America, gang assault and police brutality were a main media concern. Gangster rap artist began to create violent music calling for the killing of cops and brought up shooting other's who we're not a part of their particular gang.

Some types of songs can have you feeling like you're in love, while other forms can have you feeling like venturing out and partying the night away. No matter what style of music you listen to it influences your attitude, your individuality, and it even affects the world around you. Rap music or as critics call it "Gangsta" rap may have a negative impact on you and your society. They believe that once you start listening to these songs you start to want to be like these rappers.

Violence in today's culture was blamed in rap music. Hip hop as we knew it had taken a drastic change and to make issues worse the music that was so questionable on the west coast had now become the most popular form of reputation. It would be titled "Gangsta Rap" due to the fact that people who performed it were either in a gang, connected to gangs or rapped about gangs. Hip hop is not just rapping it is also Djing, break dancing and graffiti art. Detractors criticize the majority of rap music as a boastful promotion of violence; others admire hip hop as an inventive manipulation of cultural idioms and credit many rappers with an acute social and political consciousness.

Rapper and DJs disseminated their work by copying it on tape- dubbing equipment and playing it on powerful, portable "ghetto blasters." Break dancers utilized their bodies to imitate transformers and other futuristic robots in symbolic street fights. Although graffiti as a social movement very first came out in New York during the late 1960s, it was not until almost a decade later that it began to develop elaborate designs and widespread attention. By the mid 1970s, graffiti took on new concentration and complexity. It wasn't the easy tagging styles like the past.

Reality rap as promoter of violent offences is a continual debates in America and it other countries. Some theorizes that since music has the strength both to sooth the ravage beast and to stir violent emotions, then rising racial concerns and violence can be related to rap music's promotion of vile, deviant, and sociopathic behaviors. While others reject that research into the relationship between music and violence, charging that principle is based on racism and ignorance of both music and cultural forces. The violent words made by rappers are a reflection of the violence that takes place in many urban American cities.
