Hardcore Hip-Hop

Aggressive lyrics and dirty sound rhythms characterize this kind of Rap. What especially stands out, however, is that hardcore rappers follow a discipline that they dictate to themselves, and keep us representing it to the best of our ability. Dissing is very common, where a rapper devastates another rapper with extremely sharp rhymes to show which is the superior technique. Lyrical topics include violence, prostitution, drug dealing, crime, religion (in blasphemy), and government conspiracies. He sees violence not as a crime but as a simple confrontation, who loses, who survives, wins. Hardcore is a lifestyle.
