🎙 Explore the evolution of GOLDEN AGE RAP (- HARDCORE RAP), starting from 1984. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:

✨ **Origins**: It took a decade before Rap got out of the ghetto and onto records, conquering the globe. What started in New York, spreaded throughout the whole US East coast, with different Rap groups (usually more than one MC) selling gold or platinum albums. This period (mid till late eighties) were the heydays of Hip-hop, when there was massive appeal combined with still little negative publicity (Rap wasn’t affiliated with either criminality or commercial selling-out yet).
🎵 **Highlights**: There are several reasons for this large appeal. Rap gets more appreciated by middle class and white audiences, because they can relate to the music. Rappers start rapping about responsibility, political messages, anti-drugs, anti-capitalism and Hip-Hop is no longer a secluded subculture with “weird’ customs. Especially Run DMC’s implementation of Rock elements and the fact that MTV – who finally became a strong supporter of the music with the program “Yo! MTV Raps” – became national and available on cable in 1983, helped spread East Coast Rap among less obvious audiences. But perhaps the most important aspect of this genre is a different approach in making the music; MC’s no longer rap over existing records, but the beat and the rhyme become one. The beat gets made from scratch, sometimes specifically for a made rhyme, and MC’s evolve in their rhyming skills, resulting in more professional and eloquent flows than Old Skool Rap.
📖 **Evolution**: The government didn’t always approve with this new music unfortunately, because a number of Rap groups expressed political criticism, tales of ghetto life, explicit language or a favoritism for criminality. These early examples of Gangsta Rap (also East Coast based) are known as the subgenre Hardcore Rap. The Congressional Hearings of 1985 were an immediate consequence of Hardcore Rap and forced all artists with “explicit content” to put a parental advisory label on their albums. But Rap became the principal victim while many explicit Rock or Metal albums were let off the hook, exposing the racist subtext of these labels. However, this “enemy of the state” reputation didn’t stop Rap from becoming one of the biggest phenomenons in eighties’s music.
