    Gangsta rap went from telling stories about the life I lived to telling stories about the life I'm living and "fans" now think you're a fraud if you're not killing and hurting people. I don't want to see the artists I like getting hurt or killed because of authenticity, I want them to live as long as possible so I can keep enjoying their music

    "destroyed" is kind of harsh. But I definitely think Gangsta rap has negativity affected rap, more than positively.

      Yes.
      Gangsta Rap is almost as old as Rap itself. I think the 90s was Gangsta Raps heyday and in that time Hip Hop was more vibrant than ever. You had Bloods and Crips tapes. It doesn't get more Gangsta than that.
      Hip hop is dying because it is getting over formulaic. In the 90s and 00s, there were alot of different distinctive genres which helped Hip Hop stay vibrant.

    Gangsta Rap changed the original narrative and trajectory of Hip-Hop and not for the better…imo Gangsta rap was only put here to fuck up Hip-Hop and take it off course…Gangsta rap arrested Hip-Hop music and cultures development…Since the second half of the 1980s, when Gangsta rap first hit the scene, it stunted the growth of Hip-Hop as an artform…Gangsta rap basically made mainstream rap music into an embarrassing minstrel show filled to the brim with nothing but stereotypes and cliches…Another Black artform ruined…mission accomplished…

    What killed the true and pure essence of hip hop music in the mainstream, was when GANGSTER RAP totally took over the rap music industry by the mid 90s on both coast mostly through the record labels of DEATHROW RECORDS and BAD BOY RECORDS and the coastal beef that led to the murders of TUPAC and BIGGIE. That was the final nail in the coffin that destroyed the golden era of Hip Hop Music in the mainstream. When record labels, radio, and video networks started forcing most rappers to glorify the criminal lifestyle in order to get mainstream exposure, rap music went downhill ever since until this very day. And we can not blame NWA, because when NWA came out in the late 80s, mainstream Hip Hop Music was still balanced at that time between the negative and positive aspects of subject matter, vibes, style, and image. In the late 80s and early 90s, you still had humorous fun living rappers, like KID N PLAY, JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE, and BIZ MARKIE. You still had socially politically conscious rap groups like PUBLIC ENEMY, BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS, and X CLAN. You still had lyrical rappers like BIG DADDY KANE, KOOL G RAP, and RAKIM. You had rap superstars like LL COOL J. You had creative eccentric rap groups like TRIBE CALLED QUEST and DE LA SOUL. You even had crossover pop rappers like MC HAMMER, TONE LOC, and YOUNG MC. The bottom line is that mainstream rap music was balanced in the late 80s and early 90s, because rappers were encouraged to be more original in their own lane back then. That's what made it the golden era for rap music at that time. But starting in the mid 90s, the industry began to pressure rappers to only promote the criminal lifestyle in their lyrics. And by the time we got to 2010, it got to the point where lyricism, originality, and substance were no longer important or promoted in mainstream rap music. Now here we are in a garbage dump of mumble rap, drill rap, and trap rap. Thank GOD we still have at least two rappers left in the mainstream in 2024 who keep lyricism, originality, and substance alive like J COLE and KENDRICK LAMAR..

      Serial killer Rap was also in the 90s.
      There was its own genre Horror core Rap.
      That said most of it was so over the top, you could easily distinguish it from reality. I think now the Internet can add a new layer of realism than Rap in the 90s could as now you have self promoted Rappers vs Industry controlled Rappers as underground Rap was harder to achieve back then vs now about anyone who self promote themselves as a Gangsta Rapper can be more believable but on the flipside can be under more pressure to keep it real.
      It is a dangerous lifestyle though to get into as you can become an instant target.

    Great mini doc but one detail left out is that KRS One dropped Criminal Minded in 86 I think. They were on the album cover with blicky’s which was almost unheard of in the 80’s and had a song called 9mm. This was before or right at the time NWA blew up. KRS is known for conscious rap but he is actually one of the fore runners of gangster rap. Ultimately Scott La Rock lost his life the same way.

    • @574-e9y
      @574-e9y 2 месяца назад +1

      Criminal Minded wasn't gsngsta rap though. It wasn't KRS saying he was ciminal minded. He was trying to teach the criminal minded that it was a path to destruction. Listening to the album he's talking to gangsters (probably mostly ones he knew in the bronx) and trying to educate them on the corruptors and colonizers of this country and why it's the way it is.. The album cover with the uzi is actually him imitating the image of the famous picture where Malcom X holds an ak-47 in one hand while peeping out of the window after klan members drove by his home, threw something at his home and threatened his family.

    Let beef up the material so it be more conversational but also take rap to a vet very deep place with messages if you listen. Was the birth of tru lyricism 90s. I'm skip the early 2000s. My friend in the 2000 said rap has a lock on it right now because the lyrics one again travel to a new level. Currently the game is on lock. Not because guys can't rap and aren't lyricist. Or maybe I'm wrong but this rap era having things locked has nothing to do with lyrics. It's on lock because people are afraid to get killed, or merked. Lol like if you become a rapper today you have to be fearless because you know what Come with that. Me as an artist loved music but always had this thought of how scary it can be. You become a target instantly. Everybody ain't 50. Shot 9 times and survived luckily. I'm not fif lol.

    As a white guy who grew up with both rock and hip hop from the 80’s & 90’s I really enjoyed the music of that time. I look at what is left as a legacy of hip hop today and I gotta say, I absolutely hate it. I hate the culture, I hate the violence, I hate the robotic production line of “want to be” rappers trying to actually live an unsustainable lifestyle. While actual music, you know the kind you learn an instrument to play for, is suffering because rap is the quick dollar business. The intelligence level has taken a nose dive across the board and the way people act these days is pathetic, racist, greedy, materialistic, misogynistic, and finally anarchic. Looting and burning down businesses will destroy America and all you fools needing medical attention might find the hospitals gone soon too.

    The South had some violence mixed in but it was more melodic. With Crunk and Outkast in ATL making club anthems and innovation lyrical rap respectively, NOLA had the most gangsta elements in the early No Limit and Cash Money days but it was far from true gangsta. Texas was about candy paint and screwed up and drank. Even UGK wasn't what I would call gangsta because they preached positive things and Pimp C worked for unity. Memphis just doing whatever them crazyass do. The melody and making songs was how the South took the crown.

    If anything is destroying Rap, it is more the oversaturation, and becoming more formulatic.
