| − | '''Hardcore hip hop''' is a subgenre of hip hop music that developed through the East Coast hip hop scene in the 1980s. Pioneered by artists such as [[Run-D.M.C.]], [[Schoolly D]], [[Spoonie Gee]], [[Boogie Down Productions]] and [[Public Enemy]], it is generally characterised by anger, aggression and confrontation. Despite the interchanged use of the terms "gangsta rap" and "hardcore rap," hardcore hip hop is ten times nastier and mean than gangsta rap. It's ten times more violent and sometimes bone-chilling. Some of the lyrics are marked by outright meanness and hatred of life, in a way no West Coast rappers can imagine. Also it's important to under than G-funk was a direct creation of West Coast rap inherently, and has beautiful themes of friendship, honor loyalty, revenge, love. Hardcore rap is inherently evil sounding (I say that with a chuckle). Just-Ice and Classical Two are perhaps the 2 groups who pioneered the genre with their nasty accounts of street life in raw, graphic detail (later on graphic language and sexually explicit content was added). Early gangsta rap by Ice-T also employed use of hardcore hip hop as well, as some of his lyrics were confrontational, a trend he would do on his first four albums. Another aspect of hardcore rap is the beats. In a time when surveillance cameras are commonplace, this genre is almost hard to do in this era and age. You had to live in the times when crime went wild. Another thing that makes hardcore hip hop nastier than gangsta rap is that this genre dangerously (and this isn't condemn them, but to see it from the rappers point of view) dangerously borders on glorifying the acts depicted in each of the songs. Most hardcore rappers, figuratively gave the finger, to critics, unlike gangsta rappers who often at least tried to defend their music. |
