rap music introduction

IN THE MID-1970 S rap music began to develop in New York City. At the time it was an unknown type of music that existed in one small corner of a great big city. It was played by DJs who traveled to local parks and community centers, stole electric power for their equipment from city lights, and hosted parties at which they refined their techniques. Few, if any, people at these gatherings knew that rap would revolutionize popular music. No one could have guessed the controversy it would cause or the debates it would ignite.
