The importance of Hip-Hop.. The controversy surrounding Hip-Hop and Rap music has been in the forefront of the American Media. From what happen between the East Coast- West Coast with Tupac and Notorious made a big impact on the music industry. It seems that the media and political groups have been quickly to blame the Hip-Hop and Rap music for youth violence. To the people of the world this music is excessively violent compared to country, rock, pop, etc. These rappers don't just talk about killing, doing drugs and whatnot they talk about their life, childhood, growing up, and where they're from. Many rappers made movies and T.V shows. These rappers had a rough life growing, they did do wrong and bad things, some learned as they got older, some didnt, but their will always be Hip-Hop and Rap music.
