Hardcore rap

Hardcore Rap (also referred to as Hardcore Hip-Hop), 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. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: D12

Early Eminem is more hardcore though. Technically he does return to hardcore hip-hop frequently in Bad Meets Evil

Eminem is not in the Hardcore rap stuff but whoever thinks he "is pussy music" actually have no ears. Or no brain between.
