My Grandparents’ Vinyl’s
During a peaceful afternoon at my grandparents’ some years back, I decided to venture to
their basement and there I discovered pieces of history, older vinyl records. There were many to
choose from, but out of respect for my grandparents, I decided to only take a few and leave the
rest for them to enjoy. I chose to pick an album from each decade, since the vinyl’s dated back to
the 1980’s, and three vinyl’s caught my eye, though at the time, I knew nothing about them.
When I got home, being a young child, I decided to research on these mysterious rappers and rap
groups, and their history. There, I discovered the history of the music genre of rap. Music has
been prevalent for many years, and rap is no different. These vinyl’s make me think about how
the genre of rap has changed a lot since the inception of rap, back in the 1980s.
