🎤 GANGSTA RAP

Hard truths, harder beats

As a child of the 80s (and teen of the 90s), my introduction to hip hop wasn’t gangsta rap… I was listening to LL Cool J, MC Hammer, & The Beastie Boys. Then I heard Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, and my mind was blown. Snoop followed suit shortly after, as I became obsessed with MTV… and then 2Pac became a permanent fixture in my musical landscape. I still listen to gangsta rap more than any other hip hop genre, and I still remember every lyric to most of 2Pac’s songs.
