When the music genre was in its infancy, it was music for entertainment and parties. Rappers did not pursue commercial goals. Over time, DJs began selling cassettes of their own recordings. Art critics consider the single Rapper's Delight to be the first track in this style, which was skillfully read by The Sugarhill Gang.

- Old School Rap (fast tempo of text delivery to musical accompaniment).
- Southern Rap. (reading lyrics to driving music).
- Underground Rap. (Debunking classic stereotypes).
