Audience Research

I believe that the type of audience rap mostly appeals to is men with a minority of females. Both are likely to be of younger age as it tends to be liked more by younger generations than older. I expect the rap audience to know some foreknowledge about rap artists, history, and the genre. The audience usually know of rapper's backgrounds as rap music is normally expressed through their mentality and childhoods.

African Americans are the central producers of rap music. Young adults between the ages of 16 and 30 are the most likely age group to consume rap/hip-hop music. In rap a lot of derogatory lyrics condone relationship violence, sexual aggression, and gang culture stereotypically and rap has been infamous for blamed for a lot of youth' actions.
