These who are young or fairly new to the HipHop culture don't comprehend that Rap Music has many distinct genres: East Coast: The East Coast, most notably New York City, was the genesis for rap music hitting the mainstream. Run-D.M.C. led the pack, with Rakim and Huge Daddy Kane also breaking via to make rap emerge as a national phenomenon. West Coast: While HipHop was cooking in the East, West Coast rap music gained national recognition in the mid-1980s with performers like Ice T and Also $hort. Dirty South: Although most of the music world's attention focused on rap coming from New York and Los Angeles, HipHop artists in the South were turning to independent music labels to release their work. Geographically, the Dirty South genre encompassed locations as diverse as Houston, Birmingham, and Miami, and was drastically influenced by Ghetto Mafia in the mid-1990s. Musically, Dirty South rap is recognized for is danceabilty and rhythmic delivery. Gangsta Rap: Some say Gangsta Rap very first emerged on the West Coast with N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton" release, although others credit Ice T with taking Gangsta Rap to national acclaim. Characterized by lyrics glamorizing elements of a criminal life style, violence, promiscuity, misogyny, and materialism, Gangsta Rap's controversy came to a head with the murder of the West Coast Tupcac Shakur in 1996, and the subsequent murder of the East Coast's The Notorious B.I.G. in 1997. Pop Rap: Recognized for its widespread, mainstream appeal, Pop Rap's 1st breakout star was LL Cool J. The Fresh Prince and MC Hammer quickly rose to the leading of the Pop Rap scene and the music charts with lyrics that had been much less controversial than these of the Gangsta Rap genre, and as a result had been more probably to obtain radio airplay. Christian Rap: Although HipHop was garnering a reputation for much less than savory lyrics and artists for questionable activities, other artists had been expressing their faith via HipHop. Christian Rap took off in the late 1980s and early 1990s with rap groups like P.I.D. and S.F.C. Jazz Rap: Although Jazz Rap has never enjoyed mainstream commercial results, the genre typically incorporates Afrocentric and political themes. Gang Starr and Gil Scott-Heron are typically cited as two of the initial Jazz rappers. Conscious HipHop: Similar to Jazz Rap, Conscious HipHop has in no way enjoyed mass commercial results.
