In 1988, the song It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back by Public Enemy became the most prominent Hip Hop record that was ever produced. The highly political lyrics and incredibly hard production founded a new subgenre, the Conscious Rap. It drew a sharp line under the definition of Buy Hip Hop beats online, the old school was replaced by the New School.
Two years earlier, a young MC named Schooly D launched his career. Although it was rather unspectacular, he earned a reputation with his innovative lyrics. At the same time, Gangsta Rap was accused of glorifying violence, rather than constructively tackling it. The group defended themselves mostly with the argument that they only simulated the conditions in ghettos.
With the beginning of the 1990s, the rarely used music genre term Hip Hop increasingly replaced the previously used term rap. With the advent of NWA and Public Enemy, the era of gangsta rap began in earnest. Other so-called West Coast artists including Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg and 2Pac also emerged, and for the first time New York (the East Coast) was no longer the center of Hip Hop.
Also worth mentioning is British Hip Hop, which produced its own brand of Britcore, as well as Brazilian Hip Hop, it introduced its own style, influenced by the Bass Music Rio Funk. In Africa, a diverse scene developed in the meantime, often in its search for American role models but also produces independent varieties of African Hip Hop. Hip Hop music can indeed take many forms: either limited to beats of DJs, in which case the term rap is not appropriate. The term rap, let alone Hip Hop, cannot be applied to slam.
Consolidation of Hip Hop as a separate style with its own techniques called mixtapes came in 1979, when the disco Fatback band together with the rapper King Tim III Personality Jock band released a single. A week later came the famous "Rapper's Delight" by Sugar Hill Gang, which was a huge success, to the surprise of all concerned, it sold over 8 million copies worldwide.
The mid-1990s witnessed a kind of proxy war between 2Pac (West Coast) and Notorious BIG (East Coast) escalate. Eventually, 2Pac and Notorious BIG were shot. In the same year, various rappers from both coasts declared at a joint meeting that the confrontation had ended. Some notable releases by 2Pac include All Eyez on Me and California Love (Tupac Shakur feat Dr. Dre.).
Unlike older styles of African-American music that reflected only incidentally or diverted living conditions of black communities, Hip Hop stands as the very expression of these conditions and proposes to stick to street, that is, follow the codes and relationships that govern life in ghettos.
Although officially, neither the west or east coast had triumphed. The Hip Hop market was dominated by the presence of gangsta rappers of the West Coast, and their successors. Since the turn of the millennium, however, the dominance of West Coast rappers has fallen. In recent years, however, Detroit has drawn attention to itself. For the most part, the most famous representative is Eminem, the careers of other artists such as D12, G Unit, Obie Trice, Stat Quo, or 50 cents also enjoyed the limelight. Eminem was discovered by Dr. Dre, who now operates a branch in New York with Aftermath Records.
