Random information on the term “RAPS”:
Rapping (or rhyming, spitting, emceeing, MCing, ) is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates “rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular”, which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backbeat or musical accompaniment. The components of rap include “content” (what is being said), “flow” (rhythm, rhyme), and “delivery” (cadence, tone). Rap differs from spoken-word poetry in that rap is usually performed in time to an instrumental track. Rap is often associated with, and is a primary ingredient of hip-hop music, but the origins of the phenomenon predate hip-hop culture. The earliest precursor to modern rap is the West African griot tradition, in which “oral historians”, or “praise-singers”, would disseminate oral traditions and genealogies, or use their formidable rhetorical techniques for gossip or “praise or critique individuals.” Griot traditions connect to rap along a lineage of Black verbal reverence that goes back to ancient Egyptian practices, through James Brown interacting with the crowd and the band between songs, to Muhammad Ali’s quick-witted verbal taunts and the palpitating poems of the Last Poets. Therefore, rap lyrics and music are part of the “Black rhetorical continuum”, and aim to reuse elements of past traditions while expanding upon them through “creative use of language and rhetorical styles and strategies. The person credited with originating the style of “delivering rhymes over extensive music”, that would become known as rap, was Harlem, New York native, Anthony “DJ Hollywood” Holloway.
Random information on the term “HITS”:
Hits was an EP by The Beach Boys, released in May 1966. The EP was released as a 7-inch vinyl record in mono with the catalogue number Capitol EAP1-20781. Hits was the UK number-one EP for 34 weeks, having eight separate stints at the top of the chart from June 1966 until December 1967 – this is the highest number of weeks as number-one EP. Hits was the incumbent number one when the chart ceased on 16 December 1967.
Each of the four songs on the EP had been released as singles. In America all charted on the Billboard Hot 100: “Help Me, Rhonda” had reached number one on 29 May 1965, “California Girls” had peaked at number three on 28 August 1965, “The Little Girl I Once Knew” peaked at number twenty on 1 January 1966, and “Barbara Ann” peaked at number two on 29 January 1966. Three of the singles had also been previously released in the UK, with “Help Me, Rhonda” and “California Girls” making the top thirty of the Record Retailer chart and “Barbara Ann” peaking at number three in March 1966.
Random information on the term “SLAPS”:
Slapping or smacking refers to striking a person with the open palm of the hand.
The word was first recorded in 1632, probably as a form of Onomatopoeia. It shares its beginning consonants with several other English words related to violence, such as “slash”, “slay”, and “slam”. The word is found in several English colloquialisms, such as, “slap fight”, “slap-happy”, “slapshot”, “slapstick”, “slap on the wrist” (as a mild punishment), “slap in the face” (as an insult or, alternatively, as a reproof against a lewd or insulting comment), and “slap on the back” (an expression of friendship or congratulations).
In jazz and other styles of music, the term refers to the action of pulling an instrument’s strings back and allowing them to smack the instrument: see Slapping (music).
“Bitch slap” is African-American slang that dates back to the 1990s. It is used to mean killing a woman, or to refer to a woman hitting a man, or a woman or gay man haranguing somebody, or a man hitting someone else in an effeminate way. Bitch slap has also been used in American prisons since the 1990s to refer to slapping instead of punching, with the implication that the perpetrator isn’t “man enough” to deliver a closed-fist punch.
