Chicago hip hop

Chicago hip hop is a regional subgenre of hip hop music that originated in Chicago in the late 1980s in the form of hip house.^[1] The hip hop of Chicago is sometimes called "Chi-town"^[2] in the music industry. It became commonplace for serious rappers to cite the Nation of Islam, a Black Muslim organization headquartered in Chicago, as a lyrical and ideological influence in the 1980s and 1990s, a rap theme often resulting in controversy.^[3] In the 2000s, Chicago produced artists such as Kanye West and Common.^[4] In the 2010s, Drill music became popular in Chicago, which was very different from Chicago’s previous artists. The genre was criticized by Lupe Fiasco. Drill music originated in Chicago’s South Side and was influenced by trap music and gangsta rap.^[5] Graffiti artists, breakdancers, activists, hip hop writers, rappers and hip hop producers have existed in the city for decades.^[6]
