Evolution Of West Coast Hip-Hop, Most Popular Rap Songs - Hip-Hop Universe
West Coast hip hop is a hip hop music regional genre that encompasses any artists or music that originate in the West Coast region of the United States. The gangsta rap subgenre of West Coast hip hop began to dominate from a radio play and sales standpoint during the early 1990s with the birth of G-funk and the emergence of Suge Knight and Dr. Dre's D*ath Row Records. As it was originally known, hip hop was a movement in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It revolved around four key areas: MCing (now known as rapping), DJing, graffiti art and b-boying (breakdancing). While all four areas were important, the two that we will focus on are MCing and DJing, as they have the most relevance to both to audio and hip hop. Hip hop’s roots come from a DJ scratching a record to create a looped beat while an MC raps along to the beat. While much has changed over the years, the essential idea of rapping to a looped beat is still the foundation for most hip hop songs. Many music producers still follow these old techniques, loading up an old soul record and creating a new track. However, hip hop advanced beyond this in 1983 when Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force began using synthesizers and drum machines to create entirely new tracks.
While there is much that took place along with this, and many artists such as Run-DMC, LL Cool J and others helped to define the genre, let’s fast-forward to 1987. In 1987, in Compton, CA, an important move was taking place. Where previously hip hop had been politically and socially motivated, a new sub-genre was forming: gangsta rap. A group known as N.W.A., consisting of Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Ice Cube and Eazy-E released an album titled “Straight Outta Compton.” Dr. Dre provided the production for the album, consisting almost entirely of rolling basslines and drums. Straight Outta Compton was a big hit. While the group eventually disbanded over financial disputes, N.W.A’s legacy would help shape the future. Dr. Dre would later sign with Suge Knight’s D*ath Row Records, along with an up-and coming rapper named Tupac Shakur, ushering in the era of West Coast Gangsta Rap. Dre remains quite influential in the industry today, widely recognized as a pioneer in hip hop and music production. Meanwhile, back on the East Coast, a similar movement was happening. Perhaps most notable was Sean “Puffy” Combs’ departure from Uptown Records, taking newly signed rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie) with him to found Bad Boy Records. Bad Boy Records was competing with Suge Knight’s West Coast powerhouse D*ath Row Records. This, while not immediately, would lead to the downfall of gangsta rap as a genre, and move hip hop into the popular music genre where it remains today. Let’s end the history lesson here. There is much more that could be said, with artists along the way that I have overlooked, but this is just meant to be a brief outline to provide context. #hiphopuniverse #evolutionofhiphop

![Good Songs By Bad Rappers [Beats Vs. Lyrics]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qePpllOgtZg/mqdefault.jpg "Good Songs By Bad Rappers [Beats Vs. Lyrics]
Good Rap Songs By Bad Rappers - Hip-Hop Universe
One Hit Wonders in Hip-Hop are famous for creating Hit songs that outshine the rest of their catalogue. There are rappers that I consider bad that are able to create hits. Most of these songs have dope beats but wack lyrics. I tried to ignore the lyrical aspect when listening to these songs. This list is NOT my normal taste of music. I would still consider most of these artists trash, because the beats in most cases outshine the artist. So the question is: How wack are song lyrics allowed to be, to considerer it good? As always, your opinion is what matters. There are as always hidden signs in the video. Have fun searching for them. Hip-hop has arguably been the best genre of music in the past two decades. As hip-hop maintains its title, a lot has changed about the genre, such as the lyrics. Hip-hop has two phases, old school and new school each of which give off a different vibe. These phases can be divided into Mumble Rap and Lyrical Rap. Old School “Hip-Hop” has music based prevalently on African American culture. Artists such as Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Eazy-E often rap about the struggles of growing up in a racialized environment and the work they put in to get where they are today. In popular songs such as “Changes” by Tupac and “Juicy” by Biggie Smalls, the artists explain how they went from “negative to positive” as Biggie put it. Old school hip-hop is still popular today and is regarded as “classic” by many hip-hop fans. “New school” hip-hop has different types of lyrics. Rappers from today’s generation sing typically about girls, money, and cars they have. Some even sing about how they do drgs, drink alchl, and party which sets a bad example for some listeners. Some of these rappers today did not have it as hard as rappers back in the old days. Also Hip-hop artists now are racially diverse, so African American culture is not necessarily found in music today. People who grew up listening to Tupac, Biggie, Eazy-E, and so on typically do not enjoy hip-hop in today’s era. Songs written when rap was introduced were lyrically better because rappers were able to tell a story using words that rhyme and flow. Some songs are also more appealing to fans because they can relate to the struggles their favorite rappers faced. People of this generation are used to listening to new school hip-hop which is the most played genre on the radio. These same fans reject old school Hip-Hop as a part of the music genre. There are even rappers who know nothing about the most influential Hip-Hop artists. Growing up listening to Eminem has caused me to fall in love with him as an artist. He introduced me to Hip-Hop. But I noticed a change in the music industry. Artists wanted to be part of the mainstream industry and they had to change their music to fit into the mainstream category. Because of new artists in hip-hop, many lessen known artists are rarely noticed. These artists are said to be “underground.” Underground rappers usually do not make it big because they have music related to the messages embodied by old school hip-hop artists would say. #hiphopuniverse #hiphopspecials

![EMINEM Vs. Nas - Beef Analysis [Full Breakdown]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/r1LfOgSyCFM/mqdefault.jpg "EMINEM Vs. Nas - Beef Analysis [Full Breakdown]
The beef between EMINEM and Nas - Hip-Hop Universe
The conflict started when JAY Z had EMINEM as a feature guest on his album The Blueprint during the JAY Z vs NaS/ NaS vs JAY Z battle. They collaborated on the song Renegadeand NaS tried to point out that EMINEM outshined JAY Z in his diss Ether when he said: EMINEM murdered you on your own shit. NaS was trying to bring them into a new conflict, so that the JAY Z fans hold a grudge against EMINEM. EMINEM initially collaborated with Royce Da 59 on the song Renegade and removed Royces verse from the song. EMINEM denied any side picking. He said that he and Royce gave him the track for free out of respect and he would do the same for NaS. EMINEM used the same rhyme pattern on the song Say My Name. He added that it was a sign of respect to NaS. But everybody knew that EMINEM was angry at NaS for dragging him into the beef of these two legends. This was the original line from Ether: The conflict between the rap legend triangle JAY Z - NaS - EMINEM was further intensified when EMINEM said that JAY Z is a better rapper than NaS in Till I Collapse: NaS was mad at EMINEM for picking JAY Z side. EMINEM wanted no beef with NaS. He gave him later props on the songs Square Dance and Love Me. But both could also be interpreted as slick disses. EMINEM wanted to show love to both NaS and JAY Z. He asked both for tracks for his 8 Mile soundtrack. JAY Z was allowed to bring in his group Freeway but NaS wasnt allowed to feature his group the Bravehearts. At least this is what NaS thought. NaS send EMINEM song after song but EMINEM kept rejecting them until he took the song that included disses towards JAY Z. NaS later found out that JAY Z was on the same CD on which he was giving him shots. NaS didnt like the situation. EMINEM produced the song The Cross for NaS next album as a sign of peace. NaS later collaborated with 50 Cents rival Ja Rule. EMINEMs newcomer 50 Cent started dissing NaS on many occasions including the song Piggy Bank. NaS was again mad at EMINEM for not holding his newcomer back. NaS started dissing EMINEM with subliminal disses on Star Wars. He also attacked him on songs like Disciple, These Are Our Heroes and Nazareth Savage pointing out his battles against non-rappers, his greed for attention and his run for presidency (also for attention). NaS thought that EMINEMs political song Mosh was a trend hopping act. EMINEM wanted to step away from his beefs and was later taking a break from his career (until 2009). The beef between them cooled down and NaS also wanted to get rid of his beefs. In 2012 he asked EMINEM to be a feature guest on his song Daughters (Remix). EMINEM declined to do the record and NaS pointed out in interviews what he has been doing wrong. They probably both have a neutral-positive relationship in 2017. #hiphopuniverse #hiphopbeefanalysis

As hip-hop maintains its title, a lot has changed about the genre, such as the lyrics. Hip-hop has two phases, old school and new school each of which give off a different vibe. These phases can be divided into Mumble Rap and Lyrical Rap. Old School “Hip-Hop” has music based prevalently on African American culture. Artists such as Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Eazy-E often rap about the struggles of growing up in a racialized environment and the work they put in to get where they are today. In popular songs such as “Changes” by Tupac and “Juicy” by Biggie Smalls, the artists explain how they went from “negative to positive” as Biggie put it. Old school hip-hop is still popular today and is regarded as “classic” by many hip-hop fans. “New school” hip-hop has different types of lyrics. Rappers from today’s generation sing typically about girls, money, and cars they have. Some even sing about how they do drgs, drink alchl, and party which sets a bad example for some listeners. Some of these rappers today did not have it as hard as rappers back in the old days. Also Hip-hop artists now are racially diverse, so African American culture is not necessarily found in music today. People who grew up listening to Tupac, Biggie, Eazy-E, and so on typically do not enjoy hip-hop in today’s era. Songs written when rap was introduced were lyrically better because rappers were able to tell a story using words that rhyme and flow. Some songs are also more appealing to fans because they can relate to the struggles their favorite rappers faced. People of this generation are used to listening to new school hip-hop which is the most played genre on the radio. These same fans reject old school Hip-Hop as a part of the music genre. There are even rappers who know nothing about the most influential Hip-Hop artists.

Best Rap Songs 2020, Best Hip-Hop Samples Of The 1990s, Best Sample Type Beat Of Each Year - Hip-Hop Universe
Hip-hop and rap music loves samples. These are some of my favourite samples/instrumentals that producers used in the 1990s. Hip-Hops relationship with samples is legendary. From its very conception, the genre has looked to loop sections of other tracks and transform them into some of the biggest and most famous hip-hop songs of all time. But sometimes its done so well that you dont even realise its a sample, so sit back and join us as we look at some of the best Hip-Hop samples ever.
