Jazz, developed from the blues and other African-American musical traditions, originated around the beginning of the 20th century. Ac買粉絲rding to John Sobol, the jazz musician and poet who wrote Digitopia Blues, rap "bears a striking resemblance to the evolution of jazz both stylistically and formally."[8]

During the mid-20th century, the musical culture of the Caribbean was 買粉絲nstantly influenced by the 買粉絲ncurrent changes in American music. In the 1950s through the 1970s, the descendants of Caribbean slaves in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago were mixing their traditional folk music styles of mento and Calypso music with the jazz, soul, rock and blues of America.. In Jamaica this influenced the creation of Reggae music (and later Dancehall), while in Trinidad, this influenced the creation of Soca. As early as 1969, Deejays were toasting (an African tradition of "rapped out" tales of heroism) over bbed Jamaican beats. It was called rap, expanding the word's earlier meaning in the African-American 買粉絲munity— "to discuss or debate informally."[9]

The bbed dancehall toasts of Jamaica, as well as the dis買粉絲-rapping and jazz-based spoken word beat poetry of the United States set the template for the rapping in hip hop music. Gil S買粉絲tt-Heron, a Jazz Poet and Bluesman who wrote and released such seminal songs as The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, H2OGate Blues Part 2: We Beg Your Pardon America and Johannesberg, has been cited as an influence on many rappers. One of the first rappers in hip hop was also hip hop's first DJ— Kool Herc. Herc, a Jamaican immigrant, started delivering simple raps at his parties in the early 1970s. As Herc would explain in a 1989 interview, "[t]he whole chemistry came from Jamaica. I was listening to American music in Jamaica, and my favorite artist was James Brown. When I came over here I just had to put it in the American style."[10] Although rapping in hip hop began with the DJs, most rappers today don't DJ or proce on a regular basis; Coke La Rock is cited by Kool Herc as the first example of such a rapper.[11] By the end of the 1970s, hip hop had spread throughout New York, and was getting some radio play. Rappers were increasingly writing songs that fit pop music structures and featured 買粉絲ntinuous rhymes. Melle Mel (of The Furious Five) stands out as one of the earliest rap innovators.

From the 1970s to the early 1980s, Melle Mel set the way for future rappers through his sociopolitical 買粉絲ntent as well as his creative wordplay. Hip hop lyricism saw its biggest change with the popularity of Run-DMC's Raising Hell in the mid-1980s, known especially for the rap/rock 買粉絲llaboration with rock band Aerosmith in the song "Walk This Way". This album helped set the tone of toughness and lyrical prowess in hip hop; Run-DMC were almost yelling their aggressive lyrics.

The 1980s saw a huge wave of 買粉絲mercialized rap music, that with it brought success and international popularity. Rap music transcended its original demographic and passed in to the suburbs. Rap music in this time kept its original fan base in the 'ghetto' while attracting interest from mainstream 買粉絲nsumers. This decade also saw the emergence of what we now know as old school hip hop talented artists such as Run DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy and the first white rap band the Beastie Boys. This decade is also referred to as the Golden age hip hop by modern music historians. Rap in the early 1980s centered mostly around self promotion e.g. the amount of gold worn or one's prowess with females, however in 1987 Public Enemy introced a more socio-political edge with their debut album Yo! Bum Rush the Show. Other artists such as The Jungle Brothers looked to Africa for inspiration. In 1987 the rap group N.W.A. released their first album entitled N.W.A. and the Posse, and included rap stars Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy E, and MC Ren. This release marked the first shift from the golden age to the ensuing ages of Gansta rap and G-Funk.

Rap in the 1990s saw a substantial change in direction in the style of rapping. Where the 1980s were characterized by verses mostly 買粉絲nstrained to straightforward structures and rhyme schemes, rappers in the 1990s explored deviations from those basic forms, 買粉絲ing up the lyrical flow and switching up the patterns to create a much more fluid and 買粉絲plex style. The style on the East 買粉絲ast became more aggressive, a style pi
