Hardcore Rap

Hardcore hip hop, also referred to as hardcore rap, is a form of hip hop music that developed through the East Coast hip hop scene in the late 1980s. Pioneered by such artists as Kool G Rap and KRS-One, it is generally characterized by an aggressive sound and confrontational lyricism, while the form has often been associated with gangsta rap. Following a breakthrough in the early 1990s, hardcore hip hop became a popular crossover style during the mid-1990s. Edit this Artist photo: Grufz

The only real hardcore rap group in the top eight is M.O.P. Ice Cube was a gangsta rapper, em/d12/obie are just commercial/pop rap, and dmx is a crackhead
