Hip Hop or also called Rap music, is a music genre formed in the United States in the 1970s that consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping; a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. Hip hop has changed in ways making people believe that it is dead and needs resurrection. From young groups like NWA and solo artists like Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G to Young Money and J.

Jaden Smith also says that sampling is a must in the industry. Individuality is nearly impossible because all ideas branch off another one. But since hip hop in the earlier times used samples from R&B, now they use those samples from the music created then. The industry has become a recycling bin. Rap now and rap then are
