Hip Hop

I thought that it was very interesting to see how much Hip-Hop had changed over time. Early hip-hop was ten times less directly vulgar than current hip-hop and rap. The difference lyrically between someone like Will Smith and Lil Wayne is astounding. While the former insinuated very well and indirectly rapped about the same things, the latter is way more direct and vulgar. I like older hip-hop songs because of the funk sound they have, but I also like current rap because of its fast beats and quick rapping. The evolution of hip-hop over time definitely seemed to change when NWA came along. They were so foul-mouthed that I'm sure most parents were horrified, but most kids probably thought it was awesome. I like their songs but I definitely don't agree with their lyrical content. I find it interesting to see how much hip-hop has changed.
