Rap Music

1990's rap music changed from the basic form.
East Coast - Aggressive - Wu Tang Klan
West Coast - Laid back approach - Tu Pac

West Coast-
NWA (1986) - Eazy E, Ice Cube, Dr Dre
Eazy E and Dr Dre had a dispute meaning that Dr Dre left the brand and created his own in 1996.

NWA created aggressive lyrics promoting crime and violence

West Coast and East Coast dispute lead to Tu Pac being shot.


Notorious B.I.G. signed to Bad Boy records
He was shot in 1997 after Tu Pac


Late 90's - 2000

Dr Dre signed Eminem - diversity of race

Puff Daddy refused to sign 50 Cent as he brought a gun to the studio, so 50 cent was signed to Dr Dre

Rap started to become less aggressive



British development created its own sub-genre- Grime based on rap.

Dizee Rascal + N Dubz use style from the American rap scene.

Collaborations with popo artists, created more focus on  beats and lyrics and reduction of violence.
