Extended information:

Rap originated in the South Bronx area of ??New York in the mid-1970s. The rise of rap and the birth of rock 'n' roll both occurred in the 1950s, originating in the African-American community and both being recorded by small, independent record labels and marketed almost entirely initially to black audiences.

This new music form gradually attracted some white musicians and began to participate in the creation of rap. For rock 'n' roll it was Elvis Presley, a white singer from Mississippi, who broke the Billboard magazine pop charts.

For rap it was a white group from New York, the Beastie Boys, and the hit song "Walk Like This" (1986), a collaboration between black rap group RUN-D.M.C and white hard rock band Aerosmith. After 1986, the use of samples and articulated sound patterns became prevalent in black and white performer pop music, greatly modifying previous concepts of what constituted a legitimate song, composition, or instrument.
