More stories from Oludare Obadiya
The 2000s shaped hip hop and music in general with its changes and innovations. It gave a voice to other regions in the country apart from the east and west coasts and allowed them to add their input to the rap game.
From the new powerhouses down south like Three-Six Mafia and OutKast, to stand outs from the midwest like Kanye West, Eminem and Nelly, the 2000s proved that Hip Hop was here to stay.
This playlist provides some great examples from this amazing time for hip hop. Listen to it here.

Oludare is a fourth-year journalism student and this is his fifth semester on The Spectator. He likes watching basketball and is pretty mediocre at it, but that doesn't stop him from playing it. He has a small but growing record collection and believes Woody Harrelson is a style icon and national treasure — fact not opinion.
