Hardcore Hip Hop started showing its face in
the east coast of America in the 1980's. At the time Hip Hop had already been
established and loved by many. Rappers were making money by talking about
women, money and fame in their songs and it was getting too repetitive.
Hardcore made its name through lyrics about real life situations. It changed
the Hip Hop game forever, branching away from the regular boasting rappers did.
Hardcore told stories about the street. Real life stories by rappers living in
the ghetto. They shared their anger and experiences in a bullshit-free way,
which helped grow its popularity.
Run DMC, an American group featuring Run
Simmons, D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay are believed to be the pioneers of hardcore.
They are also widely known as the most influential group in Hip Hop
history. Schoolly D, Spoonie Gee, Boogie Down Productions, Public
Enemy and Kool G Rap are also some of the forefathers of this
great genre that has now grown to be probably the biggest genre in music
history after Rock n' Roll.
