(Munatsi,2014) Rappers like Jay Z, Nas, Notorious big and the wu tang clan gravitated to more aggressive beats.

Over the last 40 years, it has evolved from a time when the likes of N.W.A and 2pac would dominate in the west coast as they challenged the governments views and actions and they were followed by many people. These types of people built legacies and in doing so, inspired thousands of artists in later days.

Examples of this:
  • Public Enemy
  • N.W.A
  • 2pac
each of these groups sided with the public and against the federals

  1. If you could choose to bring back either Biggie smalls or 2pac into 2019, who would it be and why? To be honest i was not surprised by everyones response with this question. The data shows that almost 70% out of 50 answered with 2pac as most superior 
  2. Which coast of rap music is better and why?
  3. who is the greatest rapper of all time and why? (taking for instance their flow, lyrics, affect on society eat into consideration)
