Hip hop or hip-hop, also known as rap and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that was originated in the Bronx borough of New York City in the early 1970s by African Americans, having existed for several years prior to mainstream discovery. Hip hop originated as an anti-drug and anti-violence genre, while consisting of stylized rhythmic music (usually built around drum beats) that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. According to the professor Asante of African American studies at Temple University, "hip hop is something that blacks can unequivocally claim as their own". It was developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti art. Other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing. While often used to refer solely to rapping, "hip hop" more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture. The term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including DJing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.
Hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in New York City, particularly among African American youth residing in the Bronx. At block parties, DJs played percussive breaks of popular songs using two turntables and a DJ mixer to be able to play breaks from two copies of the same record, alternating from one to the other and extending the "break". Hip hop's early evolution occurred as sampling technology and drum machines became widely available and affordable. Turntablist techniques such as scratching and beatmatching developed along with the breaks. Rapping developed as a vocal style in which the artist speaks or chants along rhythmically with an instrumental or synthesized beat.
The first video ever uploaded onto this channel was a top one hundred counting down the best emcees of the 2010s. It was uploaded in late 2020. However, time has passed, and as such, our opinions, tastes, and metrics change along with it as well.
As with all of our lists, the order isn’t important. The only ordering that matters would be the top five. Just because an emcee may land “lower” does not mean that they are bad by any means. Limiting this list to only 100 names was a monumental challenge.
Criteria for this list is as follows, in descending order of importance: Catalog, Style, Content, Emotional Expression, Creativity, Technical Skill, Sonic Diversity, and Influence.
Influence is by far our least important criteria; and we barely factor it in (although it is considered). Additionally, we do not care about commercial success, “replay value”, or work ethic at all.
*This list is mega outdated however we don't feel like remaking it
