Local Hip Hop And The Rise Of Other Subcultures

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 used are turntables and percussion. Later on, beatboxing was discovered, which is done entirely from the mouth of a person. This alone can accompany the chanting or rapping of a rapper or even a song. The latest beats these days are taken from synthesizers. One example is dubstep. Local hip hop Fort Lauderdale, FL is one of the places any urban music lover can go to.

Contrary to the first impression that the genre is generally about rapping, it is actually very flexible. It can mix with different genres as well. In addition, it is not merely about making music, it is also about getting into the music and getting influenced by it. DJs and turntable scratchers do not necessarily compose music. They simply enhance them.

This culture is very rich and any tourist who can come south will have fun in local clubs and bars playing this genre. Even on the streets, you can find kids practicing breakdance routines. This originated from the creativity of the African American culture.

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.

He also dressed up like one of them. There are so many breakthrough artists that have emerged as Grammy Award winners because of their piece. Aside from the known fact that this genre can be mixed with Rhythm and Blues, it can also be mixed with pop and even rock.

The rise of Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem has branded the genre as somewhat the music that gives bad influence to the youth. With blunt profanities in the lyrics of songs and misdemeanors in public, these artists are being banned by parents in the playlist of their children. But these never go unheard as they are being played in radio stations without strict compliance to censorship.

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.
