It can be done through chanting, which is what rap is basically all about. Since the foundation of this culture, there are also subcultures that root from this.

Since it uses heavy beats and powerful sounds, the drums and turntables are perfect instruments for this. Aside from breakdancing, there are also other interesting sub genres that are about art and dance. Beatboxing then came along which is done by creating various sounds and beat using the mouth. This can be used as an accompaniment. Another one, a new one, is dubstep which is using synthesizers or computer software. Local hip hop Fort Lauderdale, FL has indeed boomed in culture and arts.

In addition, it is not merely about making music, it is also about getting into the music and getting influenced by it. DJs and turntable scratchers do not necessarily compose music. They simply enhance them.
