Lovely Western music

Badass Western music. Tough/edgy music. World classics and recommended popular songs.

This might be sudden, but when you hear “hard-hitting Western music,” what kind of tracks come to mind?

Many people probably think of hip-hop or death metal.

This time, I’ve put together a selection of that kind of “hard-hitting Western music,” with a focus on hip-hop.

From classic West Coast rap of the ’90s to hardcore styles of the 2000s and modern trap, I’ve picked out “badass bangers” from a range of genres.

Even if you’re not into hip-hop, you’ll recognize some of these tracks—so be sure to check them out.

In conclusion

This time, I selected tracks with a theme of “badass-sounding” Western music, and as expected, a lot of hip-hop songs made the list.

Even within hip-hop, things have changed over the years: back in the day, the “bad” tracks were intense gangsta rap, whereas now the mainstream is trap music with laid-back flows.

You can really feel the shift of the times, so if you’re curious, definitely check out some hip-hop!
