Alternative hip-hop
Alternative hip hop (also known as alternative rap) - subspecies of hip-hop, which was born in the 1980s in the United States. He rejects typical stereotypes (bounce, gangsta rap), but experimenting with other genres such as reggae, rock, funk, jazz, electronica, and even folk. The themes of the songs are social problems, personality, politics. Alternative hip hop developed along with golden age hip-hop, being its less commercial variant. At the time, he was the most popular, but since the 1990s, he was replaced by the West Coast gangsta rap, and on the other hand performers such as Wu-Tang Clan and The Notorious B.I.G. from the east. It has been underground since, though it has gained popularity again since 2000. Representatives of the species
