Social criticism was still a focal point of hip hop.
A new genre called Gangsta rap came to existence. It told the struggles of the tough lif of gangsters and the violent conflicts between black gangs.

This is the age where a lot of hip hop artists expressed where they came from through slang and geographical references. This is also the period where the infamous battle between the West Coast and the East Coast happened. It was a battle between record labels of Los Angeles called the Bad Boy Records, and New York called the Death Row Records, where the performers 2-Pac and The Notorious B.I.G, whom where both shot and killed during their battles.

After their death, other rappers fought about the title of the greatest MC. This caused the rise of rappers like Jay-Z, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Ras Kass and the soulful rapper Common.
It also led to the rise of numerous female rappers in the Hip Hop industry, known as Foxy Brown, Lauryn Hill, Lil' Kim, The Lady of Rage, Mia X and Missy Elliot. Group konstellations continued with The Roots, The Fugues, The Wu-Tang Plan and Outkast.

The man responsible for bringing rap music into the new millennium was the former N.W.A rapper and producer Dr. Dre, when he shaped the sound of The Slim Shady LP from 1999, the debut album from an up and coming white rapper, Eminem.

Responsible for some of the hottest tracks of 2018, these women rappers and MCs know how to handle a mic. Since the early days of hip-hop, women took part in crafting the genre's overall tone and sound. Though hip-hop music is commonly associated with misogyny and a glorification of male-exclusive camaraderie, women MCs help to break that mold, off-setting more men-centric attitudes with a steely, seen-it-all perspective of their own. Some women rappers make up a part of a successful rap group, such as Digable Planets or Salt-N-Pepa. But just as often, the best female rappers pursue their own solo rap careers, sometimes with the assistance or stewardship of an established rap act. (For example, Bahamadia got an early boost in the '90s from Gang Starr's Guru. Lil' Kim, as well, was mentored in the rap game by none other than the late Biggie Smalls himself.)

Who are the best women rappers out there? As of today, more and more women hip-hop acts generate just as much buzz for new releases as men. So much so, in fact, that acts like Cardi B are now scoring the top-charting singles around. Girl power, indeed.
