Modernism In Rap Music

Modernism played one of the biggest roles in shaping the future for music. From rap to country all genres had to come some place and one of those places were modernism style poems and writing. One big genre I personally think had a big influence would be rap. Now everyone thinks that rap is all drug and drinking. But it’s more than that.

All the old artist are done with there music. New people are on the rise and the new artist for the 2000s are now breaking off and creating less music and the 1990s artist are creating there last albums.
