The 8 Mile Journey of Rap and Hip Hop

Most experts agree that early rap and Hip Hop were a mixture of jazz, funk, and electronic music combined with spoken poetry. All these elements were incorporated in a manner that the D.J.s created a looped piece of music called a beat. Rap artists (also called "M.C.s") would perform their lyrical poetry to this. A whole array of thriving musical subcultures like beatboxing, breakdancing, and MC-ing also developed through early Hip Hop and rap.

Although early rap songs weren't very successful in their time, their main aim was to speak out about touching social issues. The likes of racism, lack of infrastructure for the poor, and inadequate wages were common themes. Despite facing a significant mainstream evolution focusing on mass appeal, several present-day Hip Hop and rap artists still hold to their roots.

"8 Mile", Juice," "Straight Outta Compton," and some iconic movies featuring this genre pushed rap and Hip Hop towards huge commercial success.
