Best Rappers Of The New School - Hip-Hop Universe
Hip hop heads, who are the best new school rappers? Mainstream rap keeps changing over the years with gangsta rap becoming more underground, while trap music quickly rose in popularity. Regardless of rap's evolution, the best current rappers still have powerful lyrics, catchy hooks, and good beats. Which rapper is currently at the top of the hip hop game? #hiphopuniverse #hiphoprankings
People often complain about the lack of lyricists in Hip Hop’s new generation. While the lyrically proficient MCs might not be getting the major looks like their melodic counterparts, they’re still out there and dropping excellent music worthy of recognition. With back-to-school season in full effect, Hip-Hop Universe has donned the teacher’s cap and put together a lesson plan on some of the new school’s finest rappers. While this isn’t the definitive lineup of the best rappers of this generation, it should give readers an idea of who’s out there. Plenty of rappers deserve some shine, so think of this as the opening chapter of the Hip Hop fan’s textbook on the new class.

Evolution Of Logic, Best Rap Songs of Young Sinatra 4 Album - Hip-Hop Universe
YSIV (an initialism of Young Sinatra IV) is Logic’s fourth studio album and the fourth (and final) entry in the Young Sinatra series. The album was released on September 28, 2018. This is Logic’s second release of 2018, following Bobby Tarantino II in March, marking the first time he has released two projects in the same year. Sir Robert Bryson Hall II (born January 22, 1990), known by his stage name Logic, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Logic developed an interest in music as a teenager, and ventured into a musical career in early 2009 releasing Logic: The Mixtape and a mixtape titled Young, Broke & Infamous in 2010. He signed with Visionary Music Group, before releasing three more mixtapes over three years. His fourth mixtape, Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever (2013), was released to critical acclaim, and allowed Logic to secure a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings. He later released his debut studio album Under Pressure in October 2014, which debuted at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200, eventually becoming certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and having sold more than 171,000 copies. Logics second studio album The Incredible True Story was released in November 2015, receiving mostly positive reviews from critics. Also certified gold in the U.S., it sold over 185,000 copies. Logic released his fifth mixtape, Bobby Tarantino, in 2016. Logics third studio album Everybody (2017) was his first to debut at number one in the U.S on the Billboard 200. It sold 247,000 album-equivalent units, of which 196,000 were pure album sales. The album spawned his first international top 10 single as a lead artist, 1-800-273-8255, which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. In March 2018, Logic released his sixth mixtape, Bobby Tarantino II, a sequel to his 2016 mixtape. It also landed at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 119,000 equivalent album units in the first week. #hiphopuniverse #evolutionofhiphop

![Best Rap Samples Of 2020 [Best Songs 2020]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hfVMt4POE3s/mqdefault.jpg "Best Rap Samples Of 2020 [Best Songs 2020]
Best Rap Songs 2020, Best Hip-Hop Samples 2020, Rap Songs That Went Viral 2020 - Hip-Hop Universe
Hip-hop and rap music loves samples. These are some of my favourite samples/instrumentals that producers used in 2020. 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.
Song list:
21 Savage - Runnin Migos & NBA YoungBoy - Need It Benny The Butcher & Freddie Gibbs - One Way Flight Lil Mosey - Blueberry Faygo Freddie Gibbs & Rick Ross - Scottie Beam Royce Da 59 - Hero Busta Rhymes & Kendrick Lamar - Look Over Your Shoulder Jay Electronica & JAY-Z - Ghost Of Soulja Slim Run The Jewels & 2 Chainz - Out Of Sight JPEGMAFIA - Bald! Polo G & BJ The Chicago Kid - Wishing For A Hero Westside Gunn - $500 Ounces Cookin Soul - MTV Steez Action Bronson - Sergio Dreamville - Outta Pocket Lil Yachty, Tierra Whack, Tyler, The Creator & A$AP Rocky - T.D. Aminé - Shimmy Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion - WAP Freddie Gibbs & Conway The Machine - Babies & Fools Joey Bada$$ - The Light Cookin Soul & Action Bronson - Karate Frees Drake - When To Say When CJ - Whoopty Pop Smoke & Lil Tjay - Mannequin D Smoke & Snoop Dogg - Gaspar Yanga Powfu - D*ath Bed (Coffee For Your Head) Logic - Soul Food II Ab-Soul -Dangerookipawaa Freestyle Freddie Gibbs & Tyler, The Creator - Something To Rap About Westside Gunn, Joey Bada$$, Tyler, The Creator & Billie Essco - 327 The Four Owls - 100% Isaiah Rashad - Why Worry Bishop Nehru & MF DOOM - MEATHEAD Statik Selektah, Nas & Joey Bada$$ - Keep It Moving J. Cole - The Climb Back Planet Asia & 38 Spesh - Mystery School Blue & Exile - Blue As I Can Be Mac Miller - Blue World Public Enemy - State Of The Union Vinnie Paz - Hannibal
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 urban 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. 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. This channel will teach you about the Evolution of Hip-Hop, so lean back and enjoy the show! #hiphopuniverse #rapsamples

Hip-hop has arguably been the most polarizing 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. 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.

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.

Rappers mentioned in the song: Lil Kim P Diddy Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston Brian McKnight Keith Sweat Cardan Harlem World Mase Ol Dirty Bastard Foxy Brown and Kurupt Jay-Z Case Trackmasters Slick Rick Stevie J Big Pun Master P Silkk The Shocker Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Timbaland and Missy Elliott Joe Jermaine Dupri and Da Brat DMX Treach DJ Clue TQ Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and RZA Sticky Fingaz Fredro Starr Canibus Heavy D Juvenile Blackstreet R. Kelly (though not by name, is referenced within the lyrics) Boyz II Men and Michael Bivins Mike Tyson and Robin Givens Mister Cee Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad Kirk Franklin.
A number of rappers mentioned on the song responded on record. The comments made towards the Wu-Tang Clan were responded to on the Ghostface Killah album Supreme Clientele on a skit called Clyde Smith.
Jay Z also reacted to the comments in the track called Its Hot (Some Like It Hot), off the album Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter: Go against Jigga yo ass is dense Im about a dollar, what the f*ck is 50 Cents?
In an interview, however, 50 Cent claims that Jay-Z told him he loved the song, and that Jay asked permission to respond before he did.
Sticky Fingaz responded to the diss with the track Jackin for Beats.
Big Pun responds to this track in the song My Turn from his 2000 album Yeeeah Baby, which was released posthumously. In the song, he states: “And to the 50 Cent Rapper, very funny get your nut off, cuz in real life, we all know Id blow your m*therfucking head off...If Im gonna write a song, itll be about how I had to beat your m*thafuckin ass. And thatll be the name of the m*therfucker: Thats Why I Had To Beat Your M*therfucking Ass, featuring Tony Sunshine.”
Kurupt also responded to the track with Callin Out Names: “Now its 50 mcs that aint worth shit Get ya ass kicked 50 times, beat to 10 cent
Missy Elliott however responded in a humorous way, in the liner notes for her 2002 album Under Construction, on which 50 Cent appears: “I dont know you that well except when you told me to put them hot dogs down (haha). I got on the treadmill for you baby. Thanks for the remix! Love ya!” #hiphopuniverse #hiphopbeefanalysis
