The Best Rap Albums of all time - Hip-Hop Universe
Hip-hop has produced plenty of great music over its 40-plus history. Some of them are worthy of the title "greatest rap album," some more than others. That's the essence of this list. These albums were picked on the grounds creativity, originality, replay value, lyricism and overall cultural impact. #hiphopuniverse #hiphoprankings
What are the best hip hop albums of all time? The answer, of course, is totally subjective. Everyone has differing opinions about which hip hop and rap albums should be ranked on top, and that's what this list is all about. Vote for your personal favorite hip hop albums ever, and vote down those albums listed that you don't feel are worthy of the honor.
The hip-hop albums here represent decades of great music from notables rappers and hip-hop artists -- some we've lost, and others who continue to make great music year after year. Some of the biggest and best hip hop albums ever made include classics like The Chronic from Dr. Dre, Fear of a Black Planet by Public Enemy, Paid in Full by Eric B. and Rakim and N***az4Life by N.W.A. And no list of amazing hip hop albums would be complete without Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers by Wu-Tang Clan and Life After Death by The Notorious B.I.G.
If your favorite hip hop album isn't listed here, by all means, add it. And don't forget to include whatever great 2017 hip hop albums you loved. They might be new, but some are instant classics.

Best Rapper Each Year, The Best Rappers Of All Time - Hip-Hop Universe
Rap fans tend to get into arguments with other rap fans, and it doesnt take much more than someone declaring their Favorite Rapper. Your favorite rapper is a personal preference, one that requires the most subjective defenses. If you’re rooting for the rookie of the year or a washed-up veteran experiencing a career resurgence or someone no one has heard of as your favorite, then so be it. The choice is yours. The favorite rapper discussion is cool and all, but the coveted distinction in hip-hop is still being named the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Rookies and new jacks need not apply—this debate is strictly for the catalog artists, people who have shifted the culture in previously unmovable ways, artists whose music has permeated and resonated over an extended period of time. It’s rap’s imaginary Hall of Fame, existing only within the abstract conversations we have about it. But there is one debate that every rap fan not only loves to have but ought to have. A debate that considers both the short-term and long-term implications of an artist’s impact. A debate that pits a rapper in their prime against any and all competitors. A debate that gawks at the cultural landscape and plucks out the one who stands alone: the debate about who is the Best Rapper Alive. Being the BRA is sort of like being the MVP—even though rap doesn’t follow a rigid cultural calendar quite like major sports seasons—because it only requires looking at the current crop of active artists and picking a winner. You can confidently declare the Best Rapper Alive in any given year without having to consider previous decades, the same way you can say LeBron is an MVP even though you’ve never seen Jerry West play. Anyone can become the Best Rapper Alive. Some came out the gate with next-level rhymes that had everyone running back to the lab; for others it was a culmination of their gifts that coalesced for one great year. Much like rap itself, it’s an evolving process. But one thing we know for sure, it’s more about a general feeling among fans rather than any discernible facts. (What facts? It’s all just opinion anyway.) When a rapper steps in front of a microphone, and everyone in hip-hop has no choice but to look their way and give props, well then, they just might be the Best Rapper Alive. It’s still important to consider that the Best Rapper Alive debate is different from the GOAT conversation. Being the BRA doesn’t mean you’re the biggest or the most successful; it just means youre the Best at one particular moment. Of course in hip-hop, being the best is intrinsically about being BIG. And being at your best doesn’t make you the best, so if your prime coincides with someone else’s, well, hey, there’s always next year. You can look back on the hip-hop terrain with 20/20 hindsight, tally up the votes, and declare the GOATs, but the Best Rapper Alive from year to year is a feeling in the moment. There have been debates among rap fans living in that moment since the early days of hip-hop, but those discussions have never been properly cataloged—until now! (Yeah, were excited. Sue us.) So the question remains: Who got the props? #hiphopuniverse #evolutionofhiphop

Evolution Of Diss Songs & The Best Diss Song Every Year - Hip-Hop Universe
Evolution Of Hip-Hop. Nothing says rap better than a good feud!
Whats beef? Is it when your mom aint safe up in the street? Or is it actually the fifth element of hip-hop? Dating all of the way back to when Big Bank Hank of the Sugar Hill Gang borrowed Grandmaster Cazs rhyme book and used his lyrics without credit on Rappers Delight, MCs have been feuding on and off wax for years.
Hip-hop is a culture built around machismo and bravado, so backing down or losing a battle could be detrimental to an artists career. One slip-up and you could find yourself with a one-way ticket to obscurity. Certain MCs have built entire careers around beefing with other artists, while others have had their careers d*stroyed with just a couple lines. But what once began as two rappers simply battling over skill has turned into big business, with parody music videos, elaborate stage shows and entire albums dedicated to the coveted battle.
The ante is constantly being upped to keep the fans entertained, so lines will be crossed while artists strive to find unique and creative ways to slander their opponents. Mothers, women and children have all been involved, and in the YouTube era, a rapper just might show up to your house with a camera crew looking for a br*wl.
The best hip-hop songs of all time are those songs that touch our soul. They make us smile, laugh, cry, think, move and shake what our mama (or papa) gave us.
I traveled back four decades and dug through a pile of tunes to compile a list of the greatest songs hip-hop has ever witnessed.
Picking hip-hops greatest songs is an incredibly difficult (and incredibly fun) undertaking, considering the various styles that have splintered the genre every way imaginable. Now 40 years old, hip-hop no more belongs to Bronx originators than it does to todays kids; its popularity has stretched to all corners, and the various mutations reflect that. Our picks reflect the songs that innovated, enlightened, delighted, and lasted. These are hip-hop tracks that, with any justice, our grandchildren will have on playlists that are implanted into their brains, or whatever.

Hip-Hop Songs 2019. Best Hip-Hop song. 100 rap songs. 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 their struggles 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. 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.

Hip-Hop Evolution Of Gangsta Rap, Best Rap Songs Of Each Year, Most Popular Rap Songs Of 2019, Best Hip-Hop Songs 2019 - Hip-Hop Universe
Gangsta rap or Gangster rap is a style of hip hop characterized by themes and lyrics that generally emphasize the gangsta lifestyle. The genre evolved from hard rap into a distinct form, 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. Many (if not most) gangsta rap artists openly boast of their associations with various active street gangs as part of their artistic image, with the Bloods and Crips being the most commonly represented. Gangsta rap parallels other indigenous gang and crime-oriented forms of music, such as the narcocorrido genre of northern Mexico.
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.

![Evolution Of West Coast Rap [1983 - 2019]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/orT9MDA4VOI/mqdefault.jpg "Evolution Of West Coast Rap [1983 - 2019]
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. Dres 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

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.

![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
