Crime rap, is obviously rapping about crime, as the name suggests, but it is mainly a sub-genre of mainstream hip hop music, which is also known as Mafioso rap. Though this genre has never been very famous, its fair share of limelight is still due and also its revival. The potential brilliance of this conceptual style has been often underestimated by hiphop purists who deny any relation of mafioso rap and hiphop. They often dismiss the form as materialism and fantasy. But whatever maybe the opinion of experts, Mafioso rap can, at its best, be a truly worthy form of hip hop music.
Mafioso rap is mostly based on lavish and luxurious fantasies of mobsters or Mafiosi. These music videos show stylized depictions of mafia wars with such lyrics. Mafioso rappers spin imaginary fantasies of rappers as Mafiosis, drug kingpins, and organized crime figures. This new subgenre does not just draw from its predecessors; it takes those concepts to a higher level.
Some of the all time favourites Mafioso songs may be listed as The Firm - Firm Fiasco, Jay-Z -
