Rap research

The genre of rap and hip-hop music has evolved over the years however many of the conventions and normalities remain today.

The style of rap is closley linked with it's conventions, again with "bling" often taking a central role. Below we can see an example of what would be considered a sereotypical rap music video. There features lots of examples of rapping down the camera and slow motion shots of scantily clad women with the back drop of a super car. We also get the very unsubtle mention of their wealth with slow motion shots of money literally being thrown at them.
