📖 Genre Description
West Coast Gangsta Rap emerged in the late 1980s as a reaction to the frustrations and anger of ghetto life in Los Angeles, fueled by issues like discrimination and poverty. The genre, known for its explicit and aggressive content, features a paradox of menacing messages conveyed through light and funky sounds. G-Funk, a subgenre of West Coast Rap, became popular for sampling groovy Funk music. The genre gained mainstream attention in the early 1990s with the rise of Death Row Records and iconic artists.
