Hardcore hip hop (also called Hardcore rap) is a style of hip hop music. It started in the East Coast hip hop scene in the mid-1980s. This music is known for its strong, energetic sound, often with powerful beats and sometimes loud instruments.

Hardcore hip hop has inspired other music styles. These include gangsta rap, which often talks about life in cities, and horrorcore, which uses themes and ideas from horror stories. More recently, it also influenced trap music, a popular form of southern hip hop.
