Collection Rappers

Rap music is currently one of the most popular genres in America. It has combined spoken poetry with instrumentation, influencing other genres and creating subgenres like rapmetal, rapcore, and mumble rap. Rap is a delivery style characterized by rhyme, rhythm, and spoken language over a beat. It is part of the larger Hip-Hop culture, which includes spoken word, beats, break-dancing, and graffiti art. DJ Kool Herc is widely recognized as the pioneer of rap, starting with his back-to-school parties in 1970. In the 1980s, influential figures like Run-DMC, Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy, and A Tribe Called Quest shaped the rap scene. The production became more intricate, raps faster, and sampling became popular. The West Coast joined the movement in the late 1980s with artists like Too Short, N.W.A., and Ice-T. The 1990s witnessed the famous East Coast versus West Coast split, marked by both stylistic and personal differences between icons like Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. Artists like Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg gained popularity on both coasts. Discover the best icons of the rap genre in our Rappers cursor collection.
