This page is going to be about how hip hop changed from the 1990's to the late 2000's. On who was the best rappers as it started up and who is the best now. Also on how it relates to African American History and how African American History relates to it.
 * Research Design:**

Hip hop changed in many ways over the past couple years/decades. Hip Hop came from the two hottest rappers known as //Biggie Smalls// and //Tupac Shakur//. The face of the hip hop 'stories' is known as //Lil Wayne// and //Eminem//. Hip hop went from all the truth to nothing but lies now-a-days. People say there the hottest but everyone knows who the hottest is. They say they pop people but nothing happens. No beef now-a-days are like //Biggies// beef with //Tupac//. Hip hop changed a lot because of people over the years start shooting people just because they lost a rap battle. Just as //Curtis Jackson// a.k.a //50 Cent// was mainly the only rapper to get filled with more than 3 bullets. No other rapper had more shots split to them then //50 cent//. Hip Hop relates to African American history by all the different types of black people that raps. For instance, we have a few white rappers but the majority of the rappers are African American. African American history relates to it by rapping about like making money, bagging girls, and dealing with drugs. I hear around people saying that African Americans only rap about all that stuff. While caucasian rappers rap about their life. This is an exact example of "stereotyping". But back then African American rappers such as //Biggie// and //Tupac// rap about their life.
