Welcome to Black History Month's Music
Rap Button Rap music has been around awhile --almost 20 years since the first D.J.'s started scratching and the first b-boys started breakin'. It all started in American cities, but has spread across the country and around the world and become so mainstream that even Vanilla Ice could sell a rap record (before he went into the fast food business).
