Just curious. When did rappers start using the n word in their music?

Have you heard that new song by Eminem and Snoop Dogg?
I like Snoop but in the song lyrics he says the n word like at least 40 times? I only got to listen to it once. He's really over done it. I just feel that some people would find that offensive and that makes the song uncomfortable to hear anyway.

I was just listening to this classic (if I may) and it's pretty clean and it made me wonder about that other song. This was the coolest song in the world when I was in middle school 😎

I've heard it being used sometimes as a term of fellowship or affection (the n-word ending in A not R) if said by members of the black community. Since Snoop is a black guy himself I can see why it's generally accepted.

@SW-User It’s considered low class. Snoop’s a good guy, but he’s a former gangster.

That's what I was thinking. Most rappers seem to make low-class songs tbh even over here. One of the reasons why I dislike rap. @bijouxbroussard

@SW-User I used to like some genres of it, but never "gangsta" rap, because that’s where it first began appearing. And most newer rap I avoid for that reason.

To me rap as a whole is too fast and I can never find the lyrics relatable if said in a hurry. I much prefer actual *singing* in a normal melodic way. Gotta admit though that the accent itself is cool like the word 'gangsta' is fun to say haha

@SW-User Gangsta Paradise haha cool song.
I get what you mean rap can be confusing. Rap God by Eminem is just impossible. Even Arabic rap is challenging to hear for me.

@SW-User I'm a white guy, and I had a black guy call me the "A" form of that word. It was strange.
