Abstract
Rap music is a derivative of the oral forms of literature which is man’s original medium of self expression and artistic creativity. Rap music is a highly prolific component of a popular culture, which has served as a means of expressing the plight of the black man in a predominantly prejudicial white society. Rap music came as a result of the elongated measure of exposure to slavery, segregation, and prejudice. In order to ease their mind, different forms of literature were employed. One of these is rap music which has been identified as Rhythm and Blues. This work takes a look into the sociological, economic, and political significance of rap culture on African-Americans and how it enhances the life of the African-American.
