Rapping is 'spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics', and 'occupies a grey area' between speech, prose, poetry and singing.
Also known as emceeing, MCing, spitting bars or rhyming.
Hip-hop and reggae music center around it, and recently it can be found in alternative rock, but history shows us that rapping predates hip hop culture by centuries.
Can be delivered over a beat or without accompaniment.
The word 'rap' originally meaned 'to hit', and had been used in British English since the 16th century, and came to mean 'to say' in the 18th. In the 1960s it became part of an African American dialect of English meaning 'to converse' and soon after it came to be used in its current way, to describe the musical style. Today it's so closely associated with hip hop music that many people use the two terms interchangeably.
Originated in Africa, where stories were delivered rhythmically over drums and other instruments.
A rap solo is often featured in pop songs.
