And hardcore rap is a pretty big genre to miss. It's not the same as gangsta rap.
A lot of club songs are about violence. I don't mean graphic violence I mean

"I step in the club with my ho and my glock/ yo yo yo the party neva stop!"

If they make club rap I'll bet my entire life savings they mention a weapon of some description or talk about being gangster or in one way or another imply some sort of violence like "Don't step to me im just here to dance but I'll **** you up good if I get the chance" or some other drivel.

And like I say, never heard of hardcore rap, but all the rappers wiki mentions under "hardcore rap" can be related to another genre eg Kool G Rap = gangster rap. I've only heard of rap being described as "Hardcore" in the same way you would say "Dude this guys a hardcore mutha****a". Not saying it doesn't exist(clearly it does) just saying it's the first time I've heard of it as a genre and all the artists wiki mentions under the genre tend to come under other genres as well. It seems almost like an overlap of various other genres.
