LOCC – Tha Most Gangsta

Sandra Finney asked:


Gangster rap or coined today as Gangsta rap has been around for over two decades now tracing Southern California as to where it was originated. As a west coast phenomenon, Gangsta rap had produced successful and famous artist including 50 cent, DMX, Tupac Shakur, Scarface, Notorious BIG and many others since it was launched into mainstream in early 80’s. Among these artists, it was ICE-T who has pioneered to release the very first gangsta rap song entitled “6 in the Mornin”.

Gangsta rap’s popularity is twined with controversies of promoting violence, drugs, profanity, gangster activities, abuse of alcohol and even homophobia. With issues concerning this, it had brought a lot of criticism and accusations stereotypically to be a manifestation of hostility that it said to turn as a bad influence and sample to youth groups. However, gangsta rappers and artists claim otherwise. They contended that, this hip-hop genre is not an indication of such controversies but a reflection of the reality that stricken inner-city suburbs and ghettos. Gangsta artist pleads that their intention is really to show and make the world realize that life in the ghetto and street is not a pleasing scenario. They want to deliver a message to the good government that they must take action and concern over this problem.

The usual content of typical gangsta lyrics tells a story of a gangster lifestyle that details their criminal background, hardships and struggles. It would be fair to assume that maybe gangsta rap artist are just misunderstood and mistakenly interpreted. They can always use this as their blanket defense; after all, what is important for them is that, through this type of music, they make a living out of it. Often than not, what the gangsta rap genre influenced is not the lifestyle itself but is only limited to the way others dress their self up like the admiration for bling-blings and loose pants.

This article aims to inform readers on what the genre right now is undertaking, with this gangsta rap involving mostly the youth, it influences them in many aspects. For more information about using criminal background, check out BackgroundPI.com

Christina Pomoni asked:


Of the numerous hip-hop genres, southern rap is the most comprehensive style. Encompassing the broadest range of artists, rhythms, musical styles and lyrics, it distinguishes its sounds from East and West hip-hop, unfurling a brand new world of fashion, car culture, nightlife and unique lingo in its rhymes and an innovative instrumentation in its vibes.

In the late 80s, a new sound from the South swept the hip hop scene. Rooting its traces mainly in Miami, New Orleans, Atlanta and Houston, southern rap was largely linked to Miami’s booty rap. Bearing obvious elements of bass music anchored by rump-shaking sounds and straightforward lyrics, the new sound emerged as the extended third wheel after the explosion of hip-hop in the East and West Coast. The multi-million sales rappers of Los Angeles and New York found in the grooves of their Miami and Atlanta peers some true innovators.

Being a productive scene on its own, southern rap spread widely the bass, dance-floor sounds of Miami along with its slang lyrical content. Making the southern form of hip-hop distinct to everybody, it soon evolved to a national symbol of hard-partying extreme. Rhyming with thick regional accents, but following their own musical patterns, Tag Team, 69 Boyz, 2 Live Crew, and Freak Nasty were some of the artists who made huge hit singles with explicit lyrics. Inevitable, this caused protests for possible censorship across the U.S.

Atlanta was always considered the innovative center of southern rap. Atlanta artists based their sounds on the bass-heavy rap pattern, but they introduced a funkier style of southern rap incorporating elements of soul. This distinctive element was, almost religiously, applied by Arrested Development that was the first group to win a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and Best New Artist, and the prize of the Band of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine, in 1992. In the later years, Atlanta-based Outkast and Goodie Mob followed as members of Atlanta’s Organized Noize Productions.

New Orleans was, and still is, the profit-making center of southern rap. Master P’s record label, No Limit, is a money-spinning empire that is in the market since the late 90s. Although it does not really promote much more than West Coast G-funk and gangsta rap, No Limit has found an efficient way to boost product sales with assembly-line efficiency. Another New Orleans label, Mannie Fresh’s Cash Money, engaged in a totally innovative approach and managed to reinvent the southern bass sound hitting the singles with Juvenile.

Some of the popular artists that have made southern rap more popular with their hit singles in the charts are Outkast, Ludacris, Lil’ Wayne, T.I. and Lil Jon. Despite the big hits and big money, southern rap has been criticized for over-exposure as it has happened with other hip-hop genres and with hip-hop in general. Often, rap artists produce their self-image as artists because they know that music would not be the same without their character. In rap, music and lyrics anchor the character because rap music talks about real facts. So, rap’s enemies accuse rappers that they just put on a big hat, a huge chain and try to make it to the South; they accuse them of acting like commodities, not like real artists. Well, if that was the case, then how all these ghetto people did it only with their voice, long before becoming commodities and wearing the big hat? Just asking.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin is the latest Rap CD put out by the very talented 50 Cent who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident 50 Cent fans, and Rap fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rap isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it two thumbs up. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Rap fan.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 12 – Like My Style, track 16 – Gotta Make It To Heaven, and track 19 – Life’s On The Line
