Why Hiphop Is Poppy

Today in class we talked about hip hop and why its so poppy and rythmic. I think it has to do with the motivation and drive behind the creation of that music. When you look into the pure reason behind the creation of music, it is, or at least it should be, is to do it because you love music and you want to enlighten people with your art. As the motivation of humans began to change to selfishness and doing things for money and power, hip hop was beginning to become very popular. I don't think this is a coincidence. I think that the origin of hip hop was the creation of music for the wants of the people in order to make money, not art. Children began to become rebellious and wanted something to dance to and party to, and so a big industry opened in the music world. The creation of hip hop to me was to make single songs ( kids like thing fast, interesting, and reachable) to make them dance and help them party. So although I like hip hop and rap, I do think that the intentions of it being started were to make money instead of pouring your soul into a beautiful creation.
