How did I find out about rap !

When I was 14 years old at that time, like all of my friends, I was young and want to be cool at school. At that time, wearing a hip-hop hat or baggy clothing was consider as a cool kid. Looking at other kids, I thought it would be cool also, so I asked my mom to buy me the same clothing as them. Unfortunately, my family was having some troubles with money, so she did not agree to purchase me. I was upset and kept asking for the shirt that I wanted. After so many times I asked for the shirt, I finally gave up and started to go on the internet to look up something maybe better than hip-hop clothing. This is how I found out about hip-hop music: rap. I thought it was so cool because how the words are used to rhyme together in a song. I even saw a post on the internet that said R.A.P meaning, Read A Poem.
