Poorly Aged Rap Lyrics That Are Funny, Worst Rap Lyrics & Best Rap Songs 2021 - Hip-Hop Universe

In this video, we will take a look at rap lyrics that didn't stand the test of time, either because of a contradiction that occurred after the release of the song or society in general changed to a point that lyrics that were viewed as normal in the past are seen as unacceptable or outdated. Some lyrics even contain slang words & phrases that are not being used today, or they're replaced with different meaning, so that they're interpreted differently years or decades later. We will take a look at more than 150 lyrics which I think didn't age well. Through the power of language, hip-hop poets help shape our world and pull us closer into theirs. Rap has produced so many quotable lines and smart lyrics. Once in a while, however, you'll hear a rhyme that makes you chuckle, shake your head or bury your face in your palm. Sometimes it's an entire verse. Or an entire song. These things happen. We can't unhear shoddy lyrics, so we might as well laugh at them. Hip-hop has been the most polarizing genre of music in the past two decades. As hip-hop maintains its title, a lot has changed about the genre, such as the lyrics. Hip-hop has two phases, old school and new school each of which give off a different vibe. These phases can be divided into Mumble Rap and Lyrical Rap. Old School “Hip-Hop” has music based prevalently on African American culture. Artists such as Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Eazy-E often rap about the struggles of growing up in a urban environment and the work they put in to get where they are today. In popular songs such as “Changes” by Tupac and “Juicy” by Biggie Smalls, the artists explain how they went from “negative to positive” as Biggie put it. Old school hip-hop is still popular today and is regarded as “classic” by many hip-hop fans. “New school” hip-hop has different types of lyrics. Rappers from today’s generation sing typically about girls, money, and cars they have. Some even sing about how they do drgs, drink alchl, and party which sets a bad example for some listeners. Some of these rappers today did not have it as hard as rappers back in the old days. People who grew up listening to Tupac, Biggie, Eazy-E, and so on typically do not enjoy hip-hop in today’s era. Songs written when rap was introduced were lyrically better because rappers were able to tell a story using words that rhyme and flow. People of this generation are used to listening to new school hip-hop which is the most played genre on the radio. These same fans reject old school Hip-Hop as a part of the music genre. There are even rappers who know nothing about the most influential Hip-Hop artists. #hiphopuniverse #hiphoprankings
