Nowadays, when you listen to today\u00b4s music and you compare it with the music that our parents used to listen, you can always find similarities. No matter if the musical style is: pop, heavy, rock … With regards to rap music, you can\u00b4t state the same.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today’s rap has nothing to do with the one that was originated in Latino and Afro-American neighborhoods in New York city between the 70s and the 80s. This was the moment when the \u201curban culture\u201d was born.<\/p>\n
This first generation of urban artists was considered the Old School Rap<\/strong>, which was characterized by creating a simpler and with more cadences rap than the current one, because the lyrical was less important than the rhythms. This was influenced by funk, soul and Latin rhythms.<\/p>\n In addition, over the years, this new style not only brought new types of music or tunes like the \u00a0hip hop or the scratch (DJ technique with vinyl disc in the sound mixer). It also came with it a new way of life with a new ideology, a new style of art (graffiti) and a new way of dance (breakdance).<\/p>\n Although many years have passed since the birth of this new generation, they keep influencing today’s music. So today I bring \u00a0you 10 rappers of the Old School Rap<\/strong> that you should listen. So press play!<\/p>\n1. Afrika Bambaataa<\/span><\/h1>\n
