What are Contemporary Rappers?

Can you guess who this is?

Urban contemporary is a music radio format.

The term was coined by New York DJ Frankie Crocker in the mid-1970s. For Latin Americans, the music is more Latin urban, such as reggaeton, Latin hip hop and bachatรณn.

Urban contemporary playlists are dominated by singles by top-selling hip hop and R&B performers.

The Impact of Rapping

9

Rap music's influence is everywhere: fashion, dance, art, television and especially other forms of music. Since the 1980s, hip hop music has increased in popularity, making its mark on every aspect of pop culture. One of the areas where hip hop has had a heavy influence is the world of fashion. Fashion was once ruled by an untouchable elite, where designers and high end brands were seen as larger than life. While some designers still hold that mystique, they are now approachable and are influenced by those outside of their primary demographic, including hip hop artists and fans. By the mid 1990s, hip hop became a facet of pop culture just like rock or pop music. The hip hop vibe was known worldwide, and the look was emulated by kids in the inner cities of America, as well as on the streets of Paris and Tokyo. Like all trends, fashion starts in the streets.

Designers took note of this and began adding a dose of hip hop to high end collections, such as the 1991 Chanel collection, where Karl Lagerfeld showed piles of gold jewelry on models. While hip hop grew larger, so did the artists' bank accounts. Hip hop artists moved on from Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger to high end designers such as Chanel and Burberry. This look became known as "ghetto fabulous," and is often used to describe over-the-top glamor. While the brands used to create this look may not be attainable by all, the style certainly is.
