Another smash hit: an anthem BLACKPINK released in April 2019 that rocked everything from living rooms and social media to the dance floor! The fierce brass, heavily informed by the hip-hop subgenre trap, pours a deliciously venomous sense of “spite” and a “mean streak” into the track.

2pac feat Dr.Dre – California Love HD

The East–West feud of gangsta rap.

If The Notorious B.I.G.

was the hope of the East Coast, then 2Pac was the hope of the West.

A California native discovered by Dr.

Dre, this genius quickly rose to prominence in the world of hip-hop.

As exemplified by “California Love,” his funky beats and sexy sound were also extremely popular.

However, in 1996 he too was gunned down by rival East Coast forces.

The back-to-back assassinations of two geniuses—2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G.—shocked the entire nation, and it’s said that this tragedy became a turning point toward reconciliation between East and West.

What would hip-hop look like if both of them were still alive? Now it’s a sad legend.
