after a couple kid-friendly flicks and years of red carpet treatment, o'shea jackson isn't the same angry black man that made critical music in rap's golden era. But, he can still act like it. In "gangsta rap made me do it," ice cube facetiously lays the blame for the majority of america's problems at the feet of the genre he helped propel to the mainstream. Violence, rape, murder, theft, arson, war? all the fault of rap music, according to the nazi-ed up classroom teacher tells a classroom of kids in the year 2020. Deft edits of stock footage from natural and political disasters follow, intercut with a shadow boxing ice cube.
Although the group disbanded in 1991, they remain one of the greatest and most influential hip-hop groups, leaving a lasting legacy on hip hop music in the following decades. [ citation needed ] their influence, from their funky, bass-driven beats to their exaggerated lyrics, was evident throughout the 1990s and even into the present, and is often credited as bridging the white/black american musical lines with their appeal to white americans in the late 1980s. In dr. Dre 's 1999 single " forgot about dre ", eminem pays homage to the group, rapping "so what do you say to somebody you hate or anyone tryna bring trouble your way, wanna resolve things in a bloodier way, then just study a tape of n. W. A" referring to the negative reception of n. W. A's works by the mainstream radio, which considered their songs to be violent. A scene in the music video for the 2005 single " hate it or love it " by the game featuring 50 cent shows tequan richmond and zachary williams (portraying a youthful game & 50 cent respectively) being caught spraypainting "n. W. A" on a wall, resulting in their subsequent arrest by two policemen. The game also has a tattoo that says "n. W. A" on the right side of his chest.
Musical style [ edit ]
Rapping (or rhyming, spitting, emceeing, mcing) is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backbeat or musical accompaniment. The components of rap include "content" (what is being said), "flow" (rhythm, rhyme), and "delivery" (cadence, tone). Rap differs from spoken-word poetry in that rap is usually performed in time to an instrumental track. Rap is often associated with, and is a primary ingredient of hip-hop music, but the origins of the phenomenon predate hip-hop culture.

Best Gangsta Rap Songs of the 90s

gangsta rap is a sub-genre of hip hop that reflects the violent lifestyles of some inner-city youths. "gangsta" is a corruption of the word gangster. The genre was pioneered around 1983 by ice-t with songs like cold wind madness and body rock/killers, and was popularized by groups like n. W.
A in the late 80s. After the national attention that ice-t & n. W.
A received in the late 80s, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip-hop. The subject matter inherent in gangsta rap has caused a great deal of controversy. Criticism has come from both left wi… read more.
Alternative title: rap music rap, musical style in which rhythmic and/or rhyming speech is chanted (“rappedâ€) to musical accompaniment. This backing music , which can include digital sampling (music and sounds extracted from other recordings), is also called hip-hop , the name used to refer to a broader cultural movement that includes rap, deejaying (turntable manipulation), graffiti painting, and break dancing. Rap, which originated in african american communities in new york city , came to national prominence with the sugar hill gang’s “rapper’s delight†(1979). Rap’s early stars included grandmaster flash and the furious five , run-d. M. C. , ll cool j , public enemy (who espoused a radical political message), and the beastie boys. The late 1980s saw the advent of “gangsta rap,†with lyrics that were often misogynistic or that glamorized violence and drug dealing. Later stars include diddy , snoop dogg , jay-z , outkast , eminem , kanye west , and lil wayne.
Kurtis blow was the first solo hip-hop artist signed to a major record label (mercury), and his first single was actually a christmas song , 1979’s ‘christmas rappin’’, giving little hint to the songs he would soon release. As the 80s saw an ever-widening economic gap, coupled with declining wages and cuts to social programs that disproportionately affected america’s inner cities, even rappers who were perceived as easy-going party mcs spoke up about socio-political issues. On his fourth ep, party time?, blow manages to weave international relations into a party jam as he does on ‘nervous’.
Music is always changing, artists and genres evolve over time, and rap is no exception. In the late 80s, the world was introduced to a new sub-genre of rap called gangster rap, in large part by hit group nwa. Nwa gave birth to the likes of tupac, snoop dogg, and of course dr. Dre's solo career. Gangsta rap dominated the 90s, from coast to coast, and here are the ten best gangsta rap songs of the 90s.
Gangsta rap or gangster rap, initially called reality rap, is a subgenre of hip hop music that emerged in the mid- to late 1980s as a distinct but highly controversial rap subgenre, whose lyrics assert the culture and values typical of american, predominantly black street gangs and street hustlers. (many gangsta rappers flaunt associations with real street gangs, like the crips and the bloods. ) gangsta rap's reputed, earliest pioneers were los angeles rapper ice-t , influenced by philadelphia rapper schoolly d , and especially rap group n. W.
A. By 1995, via record producer dr. Dre and rapper snoop dogg , gangsta rap had taken the rap genre's lead and become mainstream, popular music.
Rap music star notorious b. I. G. Was shot to death along museum row in los angeles’ mid-wilshire district early sunday as he left a music industry party, a brazen attack that marked the second drive-by murder of a gangsta rap celebrity in the last six months. B. I. G. , born christopher wallace, was leaving the party at the petersen automotive museum about 12:30 a. M. When police believe someone in a dark car pulled up alongside the passenger side of the gmc suburban in which he was riding and fired several shots inside.
The second or third worst sub-genre of hip hop (it's at least better than crunk and snap) and one of the worst forms of music. Despite the belief that nwa created gangsta rap ice-t 1987 album 'rhyme pays' as well as schoolly d's self-titled album are what started the genre. While there have been some decent albums that have been labeled gangsta rap most gangsta rap is complete crap.
Nas, Tupac, Biggie, and Snoop all produced some of the best gangsta rap songs of the 90s.
Biggie smalls also known as the notorious b. I. G, biggie smalls was easily the best and most well-known gangsta rapper from the east coast. Gangsta rap was mainly associated with the west coast of america with major artists like dre and snoop coming from california and death row being based there too. The amazing success saw the east coast rapper from new york getting in on the action though, and biggie smalls was their leader. Like all the best gangsta rappers biggie talked with real authority in his songs as he had led a criminal life on the streets before turning to music. With around 20 million records sold worldwide thanks to albums like ‘ready to die’, he is still one of the most loved rappers around today. Unfortunately, like tupac, he was a victim of the east coast/west coast rivalry when he was shot in retaliation for pac’s death.
The 15 Most Misogynist Lines In Rap History
Self-aware misogyny is the best kind. Every day, a child is born to a woman who will someday grow up to think, talk and rap just like this. Judgment is corny, but examining the cultural forces which shape our perceptions and actions is essential. Without these brazen displays of misogyny, perhaps it would be something hidden in the household, whereas these lyrics publicize the phenomenon and open it to debate. What are your favorite misogynistic rap lines, and where do you stand on the issue? tweet us @elitedaily and let us know.
Spanning nearly 40 years of hip-hop history, these lines show that mcs have always had a knack for cracking funny jokes, whether it's at their own expense or that of their rivals. And while some rappers deliver cutting insults, some just like spitting puns that would make the corniest dad proud. Ahead, we've rounded up the funniest rap lyrics ever written.
Recent Gangsta Rap Releases
Gangstaraptalk is alright. (don't be put off by the name, there's plenty of non-"gangsta" stuff. Hell, i'd say some of what they post isn't even rap) and i'm always surprised at how much is available through a "legit" operation like datpiff these days. It's been ages since i've hit one of those crappy releases where you'd unzip the download only to find 80% of the tracks were missing. (though there's been a lot of streaming-only releases lately, but it's still worth a look. ).
The Effects of Gangsta Rap
Gangsta rap is a subgenre of hip-hop music which developed in the mid to late 1980s in america and which has subsequently become homogenized for mainstream audiences. The lyrics of many gangsta rap artists concern gang culture, inner-city violence, sexual promiscuity, drug use and a strong distaste for authority figures, particularly the police. As such, gangsta rap has been criticized by right and left wing commentators, and many in between, for the effects it has had on american youth.
The Influence of Hip Hop Music on Society
The new school of hip-hop was a movement in hip-hop music starting 1983-1984 with the early records of run-d. M. C. And ll cool j. Hip-hop came predominately from new york city. The new school was initially characterized in form by drum machines led by minimalism, often tinged with elements of rock. It was notable for taunts and boasts about rapping, and socio-political commentary. Both delivered in an aggressive, self-assertive style. These elements contrasted sharply with the funk and disco influenced outfits, novelty hits, live bands, synthesizers and party rhymes of artists prevalent in 1984, and rendered them old school. New school artists made shorter songs that could more easily gain radio play and more cohesive lps than their old school counterparts. By 1986 their releases began to establish the hip-hop album as a fixture of the mainstream.
Understanding hip-hop’s shift is crucial to understanding the current landscape of music. Gone are the days when hip-hop immediately and exclusively meant violence and gun shots. We live in an age where, while past influences of rap are still alive, emotional or mental vulnerability are common hip-hop fodder. While “commercial rap†has not shed its association with drugs, violence, and misogyny, the lyrical intentions of this trend of music is far removed from the street narratives promoted in past years.
Gangsta rap is a subgenre of hip hop music which involves a lyrical focus on the lifestyles of inner-city or "da hood" gang members and other criminals. Often the artists themselves are gang members, or at least claim to have been. Although crime and violence have always been part of hip hop's lyrical canon, before the rise of gangsta rap the subject was not often embraced or addressed so blatantly. Gangsta rap also signalled a decline in mainstream popularity of socially conscious lyrics put forward by golden age artists. Gangsta rap was pioneered by ice t, n. W. A. , mc eiht and other rappers who were influenced by schoolly d's hardcore rap but still mixed in social commentary in their lyrics. Artists such as ice cube, mixmasta g-munnie, mc j-hunnie, and 2pac would go on to further popularize gangsta rap.

Rap is the only genre of music where almost every album release has a parental advisory sticker. When rappers sit down to write lyrics, they don't really care for penning loving and warm sentiments. They usually talk about the tough inner-city street life, the gangsta life and how many loose groupies they get to enjoy. But there are some rappers who take things way, way overboard and write down some of the sickest and most twisted lyrics you've ever heard in your sheltered life. From more contemporary rappers like tyler the creator of odd future to old school groups like the geto boys, here is a list of 11 of the most violent rap songs ever recorded on wax. Caution, this list contains content that readers may find offensive.
Consider this: there is a glaring double standard in the way that we talk about hip-hop music and misogyny. There's been a resurgence of both interest and criticism of the '90s rap group n. W. A ever since promotion for the new music biopic "straight outta compton" began earlier this year. The film, chronicling the gangsta rap group's rise to fame, has been praised for highlighting the parallels of racial tensions between 1987 and today. It has also been commended for humanizing a group that was largely demonized in their day for their blunt lyrics about life in the hood.
Gangsta rap developed in the late '80s. Evolving out of hardcore rap, gangsta rap had an edgy, noisy sound. Lyrically, it was just as abrasive, as the rappers spun profane, gritty tales about urban crime. Sometimes the lyrics were an accurate reflection of reality; other times, they were exaggerated comic book stories. Either way, it became the most commercially successful form of hip-hop in the late '80s and early '90s. In the process, gangsta rap caused considerable controversy, as conservative organizations tried to get the albums banned. Even when the activist groups forced certain bands off major labels, the groups continued to make their music uncensored.
I don’t consider pac’s music to be inherently west coast music, except this double album. I’d include his me against the world album also, but i don’t consider makaveli or his previous albums to be in that vein. It is probably hard to understand and i might look crazy, but this is my list. This album was the first hip hop double album and one of the best of 1996, as pac effortlessly coasted through tracks like “skandalouzâ€, “i ain’t mad at chaâ€, “holla at meâ€, and more. This is a definite west coast classic.

Hip hop music’s dictionary uses a variety of slang terms that have changed as hip hop itself has changed over the years. In fact, much of the language used in hip hop is drawn from african american vernacular english (aave). Specifically, hip hop slang makes use of alternative pronunciations, mostly drawn from aave. Hence, ordinary words are given new meanings, new coinages and portmanteau words, and vernacular phrases. Furthermore, the slang used in hip hop can often be linked to a certain era and/or school of hip hop. Consequently, as the hip hop culture has become popular worldwide, non-americans and non-english speakers have borrowed from and contributed to the slang of hip hop, often modifying the meanings of words to their own uses.
The south is often referred to as the “dirty south†or the “third coast†of rap. Yet, it—specifically, houston, memphis, atlanta, and new orleans—has some of the richest and most prolific online record-keeping of their regional terms. Considering that southern hip hop is a relatively recent genre compared to the coasts, their library of slang is pretty impressive. Crunk means crazy or drunk, and it originated in memphis and atlanta.
Gangsta rap is a subgenre of hip hop music that evolved from hardcore hip hop and purports to reflect urban crime and the violent lifestyles of inner-city youths. Lyrics in gangsta rap have varied from accurate reflections to fictionalized accounts. Gangsta is a non-rhotic pronunciation of the word gangster. The genre was pioneered in the mid-1980s by rappers such as schoolly d and ice-t , and was popularized in the later part of the 1980s by groups like n. W. A. After the national attention that ice-t and n. W. A attracted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip hop. Some gangsta rappers have been associated, or allegedly have ties with the bloods or crips gangs.
