Welcome to Season 3, Episode
45! The growth of Hip Hop and Rap was a worldwide phenomena back in
the 1980s and 1990s, and the Philippines were one of the countries
at the forefront. In fact, Pinoy Hip Hop with Filipinos and
Filipino Americans has been an impact in the genre for decades now.
In this episode, we talk about the growth of Hip Hop and who some
of the most influential Pinoy Hip Hop and Rap stars were on the
scene. From individuals like Francis M, Andrew E, Lady Diane, MC
Lara, Michael V, and Markie D to groups like Rapi Boys, Bass Rhyme
Posse, and Rapasia, Pinoy Hip Hop artists and rappers would use
English, Tagalog, Chavacano, and other Filipino languages to
perform.
These artists as well as DJs and Mixers
like DJ Omar D’Animal, DJ Bongskie and DJ Ouch formed the early
years of Pinoy Hip Hop that was also known as the Golden Age of
Pinoy Hip Hop. Songs could be about silly things or focus on some
of the challenges and triumphs found in their lives in the
Philippines. In our recurring segment, we bring back Who Should I
Root For? with the API Guide to the NHL. For previous episodes and
