2018 XXL Freshman Freestyle Ranked Worst To Best (Cypher) - Hip-Hop Universe
For their 2018 Freshman Class, XXL selected a phalanx of stars for this year's cover, including Lil Pump, Trippie Redd, Smokepurpp, Blocboy JB, YBN Nahmir, WifisFuneral, Ski Mask The Slump God, J.I.D. and Stefflon Don. #hiphopuniverse #hiphoprankings
Unlike past covers, XXL only included nine MCs this year after Lil Skies -- who was voted to be the 10th member through a fan vote -- declined his invite for the cover after initially accepting, the publication reports. The actual issue for the Freshman Class will drop July 3. Then, all nine rappers will hit the stage at Terminal 5 in New York City on July 11 for the annual XXL Freshman Show. Don't fret: XXL will uphold their tradition and continue to show love to the West Coast with an LA show July 19 at The Novo. It's about that time. Despite suffering from an early leak courtesy of DJ Akademiks, the XXL Freshman List moved forward with a dignified sense of secrecy. Now, the time has come for the publication to unveil the lineup, which may still come as a surprise to some. This time around, we're looking at a decent mix of "mumble rappers" and lyricists, and the vibe is undeniably intriguing.
So, without further ado, check out the The 2018 Freshman Class below: Ski Mask The Slump God Lil Pump Smokepurpp J.I.D. Stefflon Don Blocboy JB YBN Nahmir Wifisfuneral Trippie Redd The fan-voted tenth spot was awarded to Lil Skies, who ultimately refused to show up. To be honest, it kind of feels like a waste, especially given the omission of one notable rainbow-headed rapper.
Either way, Florida clearly had a big showing this year, and it's great to see J.I.D. hold it down for the lyricists. It feels like an improvement over last year's lineup, and the obligatory Cypher should be interesting this time around, given the divided stylistic nature of the class. What do ya'll think of XXL's latest lineup? Did they get it right, or do you feel like they missed the mark?

Which rappers of the last 10 years were the most popular? Can you notice a pattern? Which rapper reminds you of a specific year? The most popular rap songs are in most cases considered iconic because of their influence in the genre. Which songs are able to remind you of a year? Which songs defined the 2010s and will come to mind when thinking about that time? #hiphopuniverse #evolutionofhiphop

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.

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.

Best Rap Beats Of Each Year - Hip-Hop Universe
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. The beats are the main components of a good rap song. Today I will present you the best rap beats from 1979 until the year 2018.
#hiphopuniverse #evolutionofhiphop
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.

EMINEM Album Ranking (Worst Album To Best Album) - Hip-Hop Universe
Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), known professionally as EMINEM (often stylized as EMINƎM), is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and actor. #hiphopuniverse #hiphoprankings
EMINEM is the best-selling artist of the 2000s in the United States. Throughout his career, he has had 10 number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With US sales of 47.4 million albums and 42 million tracks as of June 2014, EMINEM is the second best-selling male artist of the Nielsen SoundScan era, the sixth best-selling artist in the United States and the best-selling hip-hop artist. Globally, he has sold more than 172 million albums, making him one of the worlds best-selling artists. Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop. After his debut album Infinite (1996) and the Slim Shady EP (1997), EMINEM signed with Dr. Dres Aftermath Entertainment and subsequently achieved mainstream popularity in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP, which earned him his first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His next two releases, 2000s The Marshall Mathers LP and 2002s The EMINEM Show, were worldwide successes, with each being certified diamond in U.S. sales, and both winning Best Rap Album Grammy Awards—making EMINEM the first artist to win the award for three consecutive LPs. They were followed by Encore in 2004, another critical and commercial success. EMINEM went on hiatus after touring in 2005, releasing Relapse in 2009 and Recovery in 2010. Both won Grammy Awards and Recovery was the best-selling album of 2010 worldwide, the second time he had the international best-selling album of the year (after The EMINEM Show). EMINEMs eighth album, 2013s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, won two Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album; it expanded his record for the most wins in that category and his Grammy total to 15.

The most popular rap songs are in most cases considered iconic because of their influence in the genre. Which songs are able to remind you of a year? #hiphopuniverse #evolutionofhiphop 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.

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.

Pusha T Destroys Drake With The Story Of Adidon - Hip-Hop Universe
“The Story of Adidon” is Pusha-T’s response to Drake’s diss track “Duppy Freestyle.” On his new Daytona album, Pusha-T seems to take aim at Drake and his alleged use of ghostwriters. “Your hooks did it/The lyrics pennin equals to Trumps winnin/The bigger question is how the Russians did it/It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin,” Pusha raps on “Infrared.” Now, Drake has responded with a new song. Entitled “Duppy Freestyle,” the track features Drake firing shots at Pusha-T and Kanye West. Drake starts out “Duppy Freestyle” by calling out Pusha-T and Kanye. “If you rebuke me for working with someone else on a couple of V’s, what do you really think of the n*gga that’s making your beats?/I’ve done things for him, I thought that he never would need/Father had to stretch his hands out and get it for me,” he raps. Daytona was entirely produced by Kanye. Later on, Drake calls out Kanye by name: “Tell ’Ye we got an invoice comin’ to you/Considering we just sold another 20 for you.” Elsewhere in the freestyle, he comments on their G.O.O.D. Music label (“You’re not even top 5, as far as your label talent goes”) and takes personal hits against Pusha (“You mightve sold some college kids some Nikes and Mercedes/But you act like you sold dr*gs for Escobar in the ’80s”). He also criticizes the two for allegedly not supporting Virgil Abloh (“I could never have a Virgil in my circle and hold him back, ‘cause he makes me nervous/...You n*ggas leeches and serpents”). #hiphopuniverse #hiphopbeefanalysis

![Decade Defining Rap Songs Of The 2010s [2010 - 2019]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vijlC5M63tw/mqdefault.jpg "Decade Defining Rap Songs Of The 2010s [2010 - 2019]
Hip-Hop Best Rap Songs 2019, Most Iconic Rap Songs Of The Last 10 Years, Popular Rap Songs 2010s and the Best Hip-Hop Songs 2019 - Hip-Hop Universe
The most popular rap songs are in most cases considered iconic because of their influence in the genre. Which songs are able to remind you of a year? Which songs defined the 2010s and will come to mind when thinking about that time? #hiphopuniverse #evolutionofhiphop
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. Old school hip-hop is still popular today and is regarded as “classic” by many hip-hop fans. 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.

The most popular rap songs are in most cases considered iconic because of their influence in the genre. Which songs are able to remind you of a year? 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. 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. People of this generation 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. 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. 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. 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. Let’s end the history lesson here. #hiphopuniverse #hiphopspecials
