Tupac Vs Hip Hop

Improved Essays
Do you know the definition between a Mc and a Rapper? Well, it’s about time you find out because Biggie and Tupac weren’t the only one’s to start hip-hop’s generation. If anything Dr. seuss could be considered as a rapper because he rhymes and basically a Rapper is someone who rhymes frequently. A Mc is someone who just sings lyrically and has a true story behind what he says. A lot of secrets could be revealed during a song, but all Artist’s have a different meaning to do what they do. As you can see one huge change from then to now would be that since way back around the 70’s MC’s would spit rhymes.(something from nothing) These guys were the real deal they would sing about what happens in the world and what they like or dislike about it …show more content…
My favorite era of Rap was the 90’s because that is when my favorite rapper was born the one and only B.I.G, a.k.a biggie, his real name being Christopher Wallace.

What do you see in music?Well, That’s a good question so i’ll answer it myself. Music to me is a lot of talent and has to be lyrical because what makes a good song without lyrics that are descriptive of what your talking about. Another thing is the title because the title is like a 1 second trailer just by reading a perfect title could give you so many thoughts about what you're about to listen too. Basically What this entire subject was about that If you could see the big change between before 2000s and after 2000s. Like look at the view where technology was a huge impact on music because look at how back then around 70s 80s all music had the CD scratch from the dj’s or they had tons of beats that used instruments as in they made it their own type of beats. You never seen Artist copywriting music from websites because back then there was no technology like we have today. ALl they had were really just CD players and
