Satirical hip hop is a genre of hip hop done in a sarcastic, parodic or tongue in cheek way.[1][2]
Satirical hip hop has been around since at least the mid 1990s.
Well known satirical rappers of the 2010s include Odd Future and Tyler the Creator,[3] Lil B,[4] Yung Lean , Riff Raff and 3PAC.
Characteristics
Satirical hip hop in many ways is a parody and a criticism of the gangsta rap that dominated music throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Tyler the Creator's song "Come Through Looking Clean", released as a joke under the name Young Nigga, is a parody of the glam rap popular during the latter decade.[5]
