from Dominique DiPrima · host Front Page - KJLH 102.3 FM
Pioneered in the mid-1980s by rappers such as Schoolly D and Ice-T, gangsta rap was popularized in the later part of the 1980s by groups like N.W.A. After the national attention that Ice-T and N.W.A attracted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip-hop. The post 20 YEARS LATER: Gangsta Raps Influence on the 1992 Civil Unrest (4/25) appeared first on Dominique DiPrima.
