OPM/PPOP HIP HOP GROUPS GENERATIONS (1990s-2020s)

Описание: Filipino Hip Hop or Pinoy Hip Hop, also known as Pinoy Rap, is hip hop music performed by musicians of Filipino descent, both in the Philippines and overseas, especially by Filipino-Americans.

The Philippines is known for having the first hip hop music scene in Asia since the early 1980s, largely due to the country's historical connections with the United States where hip hop originated. Rap music released in the Philippines has appeared in different languages or dialects such as Tagalog, Bicolano, Chavacano, Cebuano, Ilocano and English. In the Philippines, Andrew E., Francis Magalona and Gloc-9 are considered among the most influential rappers in the country, being the first to release mainstream rap albums. Apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas, Cassie Ventura, Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, N.E.R.D. and Ez Mil are among the contemporary Filipino-American hip-hop artists.

But aside from solo acts, hip hop groups also made this music genre so popular in the Philippines, among those very popular groups during 1990s or The Old School Hip Hop Generation were Rapasia, Masta Plann, Death Threat, among others. While other popular groups like Salbakuta, Mobbstar, Gagong Rapper, 187 Mobstaz, O.C. Dawgs, Mo Thugs Pinas, Ex-Battalion and 1096 Gang also gained popularity on the following decades.

BRIEF HISTORY OF PINOY HIP HOP

The towns surrounding the numerous American military bases in the Philippines, such as Clark Air Base in Angeles City and Subic Bay Naval Base in Olongapo, were among the earliest to be exposed to the culture. Contact with African-American, Filipino-American and Latino servicemen resulted in some of the earliest exposure the locals had to the new musical genre.

In 1980, the earliest rap recording came from Dyords Javier's single "Na Onseng Delight", a parody of "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, released under Wea Records. It is considered the first known rap track out of Asia, making the Philippines the first to dabble in hip-hop in the region.That same year, pioneer Vincent Dafalong released the singles, "Ispraken-Delight" and "Mahiwagang Nunal".

The genre soon entered the mainstream with Francis Magalona's debut album, Yo! (1990), which included the nationalistic hit "Mga Kababayan" ("My Countrymen"), which brought Magalona to prominence. More artists followed in Magalona's footsteps. The list includes Andrew E. who released his first single, "Humanap Ka ng Pangit" ("Look for Someone Ugly") in 1990[7] and Michael V. with the release of his first song "Maganda ang Piliin" ("Pick Someone Pretty") in 1991, a companion piece to Andrew E.'s "Humanap Ka ng Pangit".

The 1990s was considered as "The Golden Age of Pinoy Hip Hop" when hip hop groups began to emerged one by one. It was also during the 1990s that the first Filipino rap record label was established - the Dongalo Records.

During the 2000s, Filipino hip-hop rivalled Pinoy rock's traditional popularity amongst Filipino youth. Since 2004, the Philippine Hip-Hop Music Awards has been held annually in Metro Manila. The show is reminiscent of The Source Awards in the US. Gloc-9, considered to be the fastest rapper in the Philippines and former member of the rap group Death Threat, held the title for Best Rap Artist at the awards show for four consecutive years, from 2005 to 2008, achieving mainstream popularity and releasing successful commercial albums every other year.

The 2010s was considered as "The 2nd Golden Age of Pinoy Hip Hop" with the emergence of FlipTop battle league, trap genre and the local rap battle competitions. And now, during 2020s Filipino Hip Hop is making its way to the global scene, making this era The Expansive Generation.
