The origin of rap can be traced back to the passages of chanting in the roots of black music, and by the 70s rap music officially established its own style, rap was spread by black culture on the street, and derived a fairly rich branch, such as pop rap, old school, hardcore rap, gangsta rap, etc. What we now call hip-hop is a new vocabulary born from these genres that synthesize today's popular elements. Although as early as the early 90s some people thought that this kind of nagging, foul language, rebellious words of the concert quickly disappeared, in fact, in the late 90s, with a group of new rap musicians and the popularity of white-dominated rap rock, music that was once abandoned by blacks returned to the front end of popular music, at least in the new century, this trend will not subside. In China, this hip-hop wind is blowing. Today, the leper and you take stock of the ten world-class rappers:
1.dr.dre
As a veteran of the hip-hop world, dr.dre is still favored by the music scene. His work is by no means merely a celebration of materialism or an empty propaganda of violence to add drama. "Straight outta compton" and "the chronic" are both needle-and-needle flaws, sharp reflections of the unknown side of society, and they as rap music also benefit greatly from this atmosphere of fearlessness and innovation. He is the master of the white rap superstar eminem and is recognized as the founder and leader of West Coast Leper Rap.
2.eminem
From "Amu the Leper" to "Mum", Eminam has not changed much. The rap world is black, and he's a white man, and he has a lot of black fans. He is also the master of the newborn black rap star 50 Cent. As a white man, he was able to occupy a place in the black rap industry and became a big man in the American rap industry. Eminem's rhymes are impeccable, his flowing rap is as varied and gorgeous as a river in all seasons, and his talent makes him undiminished. Eminem looked down at his soul and confronted himself with the reality that he was a villain who was not very sublime. Heart and mouth are connected, phoenix nirvana, the more decadent the more inspirational.
3.jay-z
He is a rap world veteran. He's the commander-in-chief of the entire East Coast rap, and most of the NBA players grew up listening to Jay-Z songs. He is quite a Chinese Confucian style of Jie Jun, TaoGuang cultivates obscurity, and if he does not sound, he is already a hit. His singing voice comes from his personal growth experience. The black life of discrimination and pressure made him more sleek in the face of setbacks and successes and failures, but also more appreciative. As a rap musician with straight words and strong feelings, Jay-z's works are exciting and promote the development of global rap music, and the tenacity in his lyrics and his low-key behavior form a sharp contrast, like a rebellious young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a hot heart, but with a cold eye to see the world. Of course, the most envious thing is that he also married Beyoncé.
4.nas
Rap singer Nas, the Rap Emperor of New York. Muye's early imitation object, Jay-z's nemesis, the leading figure of the East Coast, is known as the street poet. Nas's outstanding New York hip hop atmosphere, deeply attract fans. Nas does not see a sense of rigid restraint in the narrative, but an incomparably real keen observation. The series of profanity that Nas habitually uses in his rhetoric also outlines the street style he has come from a poor life. In the slow-down rhythm, Nas, with his slippery q-tip voice, tells the story of urban tales, but is comfortable without a trace of pressure.
5.puff daddy

6.snoop doggy dogg
West Coast rap superstar, his singing style is concise and rhymed, smooth g-funk rhythm and gang-colored lyrics have brought a lot of impact to the mainstream music industry at that time. His lyrics are implicitly authentic, and as the embodiment of gangster rap in the '90s, Snoopy Dog blurs the boundaries between reality and unreality. Snoopy Dog bragged about his debauched lifestyle in his characteristic lascivious West Coast nasal voice, painting american dreams for children who were not deeply involved in the world.
7.ice cube
Ace Cooper, who has made great contributions to American gangster music, has made a great achievement in rap music. Because he portrayed gang crime and other content in some of his songs, the FBI was nervous for a while, and even wrote to the record company when his record was released, solemnly accusing Cooper's music of encouraging crime. And Cooper's songs do exude a fierceness, and the neat rap reading with a gentle and comfortable funk melody is really addictive.
8.dmx
Dmx is a representative of the new force in the rap industry, and he also has the rebellious style unique to young rap musicians - foul-mouthed lyrics, which are popular with fans. Dmx's childhood was full of thorns like most rappers, growing up in chaotic and violent, criminal streets, and he himself was often involved in criminal activity. After lucky enough to live to adulthood, he began to devote his attention to rap music and began working as a DJ in some places. Later he began performing more formally on the fringes of the city and took the name DMX, which means dark man x.
9.50 cent
Eminem's apprentice. Since 50 Cent became the biggest upstart in the new century of rap music in 2003, his album sales have been staggeringly high. He is now the big brother of the new generation of rap. Under the trend of rap music in the American music scene gradually becoming electrified and dance music, it is rare for 50 cent to maintain pure black rap, although it can no longer bring the same effect as its famous work, but it can prove the value of a rapper.
10.kanye west
If Kanye is arrogant, this has become a cliché. Whether it's his musical style or his style of dress, whether it's his talent or his ability as a producer, he definitely deserves any compliment, he's a very opinionated and outspoken person.
