Arguably one of the most mainstream music styles today, rap was in
fact born centuries ago in West Africa with historians or 'griots'
who used to tell stories of the past over the beat of a drum. But
it wasn't until the 1970s in New York that rapping as we know it
was born and began to flourish. 50 Rappers Who Changed the World
profiles some of the genre's biggest influencers, from the 1970s
until the present day. From groundbreaking groups like Grandmaster
Flash and The Furious Five and The Sugarhill Gang in the 70s, to
Run-DMC and Public Enemy in the 80s, Biggie, Tupac and Snoop in the
90s, and Eminem and Jay-Z in the 00s, this is a history of music
for anyone who loves rap. Featuring MCs like West Coast legends
including N.W.A. and Ice-T, and countless women who changed the
game, like Salt-n-Pepa, MC Lyte and Missy Elliot. And today, we
have a new breed of artists who are dominating the charts, from
Kendrick Lamar to Drake and Cardi B. Filled with a stylish
illustrations and short biography of each artist, this book is a
celebration of the musicians who shaped the genre and changed the
world.
