According to statistics, a large number of teens watch music videos more than two hours a day. There on screen are cool and rebellious rappers, looking and sounding unique. Teens want a piece of that image. Wearing the same clothes as rappers who often sing violent and offensive lyrics can make the teens in such clothes feel very cool and rebellious too. And rap fashion is big business.

Rap and hip-hop were born in the ghettoes of New York City over 30 years ago. Not too many years later, hip-hop enthusiasts began to wear expensive designer labels such as Polo, Ralf Lauren, Prada and Gucci. The clothes were often worn with a lack of respect to tradition or authority, e.g. wearing a baseball cap backwards or leaving shoelaces untied. Rappers wore enormous gold necklaces extravagant it became known as bling bling.

Rap style so fashionable nowadays is not only wearing oversized hoodies and oversized pants that are pulled down low. It is also rap language or rather rap slang used by many teens. Here are some rap words and expressions. Some of them you can often hear in songs:
bling bling - shiny, obviously very expensive
jack - to steal
banging - excellent , cool
diss (short for "disrespect") - to insult someone
eye candy - someone who is good-looking, whose only aim is to look good and whose personality is not important
boo - girlfriend (like "baby" or "honey")
crid - home
da bomb - very good
Middle-class white teens growing in wealthy neighbourhoods also spend long hours watching rap videos. They want to get away from boring American mainstream culture. Since white artists like Justin Timberlake and Eminem have been accepted by black rap culture, many white kids have become less self-conscious about adopting rap style. And what is a better way to express the generation gap than listening to music many parents find “offensive” and using words they have never heard of?
Rap wouldn't be rap without its bad-boys image.Its well-known that some rap singer used to sell drugs and have faced murder chargers.So does rap glamorize crime?Some people say "yes ". Some say "no". And what do you think?
