- Gangsta_rap abstract "Gangsta rap is a subgenre of hip hop music that evolved from hardcore hip hop. The genre was pioneered in the mid-1980s by rappers such as Schoolly D and Ice-T, and was popularized in the later part of the 1980s by groups like N.W.A. After the national attention that Ice-T and N.W.A attracted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip hop. Some gangsta rappers have been associated, or allegedly have ties with the Bloods or Crips gangs.The subject matter inherent in gangsta rap has caused a great deal of controversy. Criticism has come from both left wing and right wing commentators, as well as religious leaders, who have accused the genre of promoting crime, serial killing, violence, profanity, sex addiction, homophobia, racism, promiscuity, misogyny, rape, street gangs, drive-by shootings, vandalism, thievery, drug dealing, alcohol abuse, substance abuse, disregarding law enforcement, materialism, and narcissism. The White House administrations of both George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton criticized the genre. "Many black rappers--including Ice-T and Sister Souljah--contend that they are being unfairly singled out because their music reflects deep changes in society not being addressed anywhere else in the public forum. The white politicians, the artists complain, neither understand the music nor desire to hear what's going on in the devastated communities that gave birth to the art form," wrote journalist Chuck Philips in a review of the battle between the Establishment and defenders of rap music. "The reason why rap is under attack is because it exposes all the contradictions of American culture ...What started out as an underground art form has become a vehicle to expose a lot of critical issues that are not usually discussed in American politics. The problem here is that the White House and wanna-bes like Bill Clinton represent a political system that never intends to deal with inner city urban chaos," Sister Souljah told Philips.On the other hand, some commentators (for example, Spike Lee in his satirical film Bamboozled) have criticized gangsta rap as analogous to black minstrel shows and blackface performance, in which performers – both black and white – were made up to look African American, and acted in a stereotypically uncultured and ignorant manner for the entertainment of audiences. Gangsta rappers often defend themselves by saying that they are describing the reality of inner-city life, and that they are only adopting a character, like an actor playing a role, which behaves in ways that they may not necessarily endorse. Gangsta Rappers appears hardcore and "badder" compared to the early concepts and themes of hip-hop because they were saying what some people were afraid to say. Plenty of victims of police brutality wanted to say "fuck the police" but they were afraid to say it; they were too afraid of appearing to be anti-American or anti- government order. Though some these gangsta rappers are just painting fantasies, where they're violent and dealing drugs, a life they probably know nothing about, they are hard because they have the "balls" to tell these crazy stories even though they haven't lived it. In the "hood" perpetrating or putting on these made up personas is life threatening but the fact that these gangsta rappers told the stories of others they were given respect for letting the world know that there existed a world outside of their "perfect" world. In this world of gangsta rap there exist the emotion and perspective of a marginalized people that are constantly overlooked and are constantly berated and belittled by society. Gangsta rap was a side effect to the various wrongdoings that were being done to Black people in underprivileged neighborhoods. The various riots that were sparked by the Rodney King beating and the acquittal of the police officers that did the beating sparked anger and outrage in a people and area that was already on the bubble. Gangsta rap acted as an outlet so these marginalized and victimized people could express themselves angrily and not in fear that they were going to be silenced for telling the truth. They used gangsta rap to tell their stories, which were not always pretty. Gangsta rap told stories of violence, hypersexuality, and drugs. Some think that presently gangsta rap is a thing of the past, however it seems to have evolved in a new form deemed trap music.".
