We are Busy Window Shoppin’

Rap is a genre of music in which rhyming lyrics are used, often with musical accompaniments. It has developed from the West African tradition of delivering stories rhythmically with drums and is now associated with hip hop music, which began in the Bronx in New York in the 1970s.

Previous exposure to different forms of poetry would be helpful, as would some experience of picking out and labelling rhyme patterns and an understanding of the function of adjectives.
