A genre of music spawned in the early 70's in various ghettos throughout the U.S. The name allegedly derived from people saying "That's a rap!" after performing with a DJ. A rap can usually consist of ryhmes and a beat, although sometimes done acapella. Often accused of being about nothing but sex and drugs (not dissimilar to metal), usually depicts daily life in the black ghettos or other assorted issues faced by the poorest of us.

Rap music represents the lowest form of intelligent sound composition. Rap music is known primarily for it's insignificant and objective lyrics, which often objectify women and portray the various rap artist in a a grandeous light. Somehow, someway, the rap industry still manages to trick millions of people a year to give up billions of their dollars.
