Gangsta rap

Gangsta rap, also known as gangster rap or reality rap, is a subgenre of hip hop that emerged in the late 1980s. It conveys the culture and values of urban gangs and street life, with pioneers including Schoolly D and Ice-T, later expanding with artists like N.W.A and Tupac Shakur. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's G-funk sound helped mainstream the genre in 1992. Gangsta rap is characterized by its gritty, realistic lyrics and often reflects the harsh realities of urban life.
