Racism was common few decades ago in American-African countries and black and white hated each other. Hop started addressing this issue. The lyrics in a hip-hop song are more than just a bunch of words. They have an aim and a deep meaning. It will not be wrong to say that RnB was originated by black people but later white people joined the business too. This was perceived to be a major step to diminish the racist approach and mindset of people.

Music has always been considered to be a way of communicating the expressions. Even the hard feelings which are otherwise not possible to state can be easily communicated through music. The other reality about music is that it has no boundaries. There is no barrier to the spread of music and it is for every one and everywhere.

All these facts allow music to be used as a medium to spread social awareness. As said earlier hop has a craze among people and they listen to what rap says. Hip_hop has raised issues like drugs, tolerance, terrorism, racism, religion, peace, self-confidence, economy, politics, rights and duties and several other important matters. As we know that music directly hits our souls and leaves an impact, hip hop has certainly changed many lives and thoughts due to its powerful attack on its audiences.
