Rap Music began really back in 1982 with Grand Master Flash. He one of the first rappers to make it big in life but with every rapper there's a sad story.
    Rap music was invented by African Americans. Grand Master Flash, Curtis Blow, Run D.M.C. were the first to set the bar.
   What I mean by "With every rapper there's a sad story" is that many rappers came up poor, gangsta or thugs, troubled and homeless. And from that many of them turn to drugs and alcohol. The streets were many rappers' homes.
