The style of flashy entertainment first made routine by Motown became the form of Soul music that dominated throughout the 1970s.

Disco changed the beat, but not the basic show business emphasis on
surface and form rather than content and meaning. At the same time,
the values of “artistic expression” in Rock led to the era of superstar
indulgence. Punk was the Rock music reaction to this trend and Rap
was the Black music parallel to the Punk music. It began emerging
at approximately the same time, although it took much longer to be
discovered and publicized. Rap grew out of an impoverished economic environment and thenecessity of the ghetto, in all of its unlikely conditions, made it possible. The kids would cart their turntables, amplifiers, mics and records into the park then pry open the electrical boxes at the base of the park

lights and tap into the city’s power lines. Once the power was turnedon, “get on the mic and start to rap” was both the rallying cry and the challenge and the parks and schoolyards of the South Bronx was filled with kids eager to pick it up.
