Shortly after whilst still living in the UK greg was exposed to a record label called 'Street Sounds' ran by 'Morgan Khan' he began collecting the 'Electro Series' and 'Street Sounds Series' and a regular follower of 'Mike Allen's - Capitol Radio' show in London, he was a full blown 'B-Boy' and Hip Hop Junkie, he even won a breakdancing competition in 'Lowestoft England' back in 1985 It's impossible to capture the full creative breadth and cultural importance of this music, but this list of some of the best hip-hop songs of all time will get you off to a strong start.Dr Packer is an alias of West Australian DJ/Producer 'Greg Packer' set up for Remixes & Edits of mainly retro music such as 70's, 80's, 90's Soul, Disco, Funk, Hip Hop & Reggae, Greg although known more for 'Liquid Drum & Bass' regularly plays sets of 'Old School Funk, Disco, Hip Hop Etc' purchasing his first record in 1982 at the age of 10 'Grandmaster Flash - The Message' whilst still living in the UK (Northampton England) greg grew up listening to his mothers disco records (had no choice really) as a child in the 70's it wasn't uncommon to hear music such as 'Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now' or 'And The Beat Goes On' played in the house so the disco thing really was his first introduction to music, records became his life and has collected approx 25,000 over the years. Whether you're looking for fuel for a workout playlist, old school throwbacks to dance to, or songs that help deepen your understanding of the world around you, hip-hop has all the bases covered.
The following 50 songs span the evolution of the art form, from its early roots (Grandmaster Flash's "The Message," Public Enemy's "Fight the Power") to its iconic East Coast-West Coast era (The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy," 2Pac's "California Love,") to its pop chart domination (50 Cent's "In Da Club," Kanye West's "Touch the Sky") and into its diverse future (Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow," Tyler, the Creator's "See You Again").
to the distinct southern culture explored by artists like Ludacris and Lil Wayne, to Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" becoming a rallying cry at Black Lives Matter events, the history of hip-hop is the history of modern America, told by those who are often the most marginalized. From the gritty streets of Compton that birthed N.W.A. In 2017, it became America's most popular genre in total consumption, according to Nielsen, and it has grown globally, too, dominating the streaming era and molding the rest of pop music in its image.Īt the core of rap is the Black American experience, something that these musicians have been painstakingly documenting for years. Hip-hop's origin as the soundtrack of New York City block parties is well known, but no one could have predicted where the genre would go in just 40 years.
