These 10 Best Hip-Hop Remixes of 2015 will refresh your playlist if you are tired of playing the original version over and over again. Late 1970s was the time when hip-hop first appeared on the music scene. The kind of rhythm and beats this genre brought attracted a lot of people towards it. Everybody knew that this was something unique but what they didn’t know was how big it was going to become and that it will start an all-new culture that will take the world by surprise. Hip-hop has now become as popular as any genre in music. Its existence is not only confined to people’s playlists but it has become an integral part of their lives. The question that comes to mind is what is so special about this genre? Why do we see most of the high school kids writing their own rap songs at the back of their notebooks? Well, there are several reasons why hip-hop has made a special place in our hearts. No other genre allows you to get your message across more than this one. You can probably say a lot more in a three-minute song than you would in any other genre. Also, you do not have to worry about the choice of words, which gives an artist more freedom. Since these songs are completely raw people can relate to them easily and this is perhaps the reason why it is so appealing.
