Just because international hip-hop didn’t hit the big time until the noughties doesn’t mean there weren’t artists trying to bring the genre to their own shores.
Here are the standouts from the critics’ picks that show hip-hop’s five decades of growth into a global phenomenon. As the purpose of these lists should be to encourage discovery as well as debate, we thought we would put together a list of the critic’s picks from around the world to create a global playlist. But we also received nominations for songs originating outside the US. No surprises to see that almost all of the 280 songs nominated in total are from US artists.
It’s everywhere.Īs a result, we felt it was the right time to ask critics around the world what they think are the greatest hip-hop songs of all time. Hip-hop doesn’t just belong to the Bronx anymore. The genre that was once so tightly defined has started endless branches of new genres. Hip-hop is how people speak about themselves from Kashmir to California. The past decade has entrenched hip hop as not only a permanent part of pop culture, but as pop culture itself. and Dizzee Rascal becoming international stars. The sound was everywhere, as the green shoots of its international rise were beginning to show, with artists like MIA. Still just a teenager, Lamichhane may have plenty more pages yet to be written.When the Millennium arrived, hip-hop started to creep into the mainstream narrative around pop culture. In March 2018, he became the first Nepal player to be drafted in the CPL as well, taken in round 13 by St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, adding to the list of history-making accomplishments on his growing resume. He justified that hoopla the following month with 17 wickets in a Player-of-the-Tournament performance at 2018 WCL Division Two in Namibia, propelling Nepal into the World Cup Qualifier for only the second time ever. But his fame grew exponentially when, at age 17, he became the first player from his country snapped up at the IPL auction, fetching a bid of INR 20 lakh (USD 31,000 approx) from Delhi Daredevils. Not long after, he made his senior-team debut against Namibia in the WCL Championship and was a regular throughout the rest of the tournament, proving himself a major asset as a result of his impressive accuracy for a young wristspinner.īy January 2018, Lamichhane had cemented his status as a rising star within the Nepal set-up. Lamichhane's first foray on the international stage came at the 2016 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh where he was Nepal's leading wicket-taker with 14 in six games including a five-for against Ireland. It was there that Lamichhane crossed paths with former Australia captain Michael Clarke, who observed enough of Lamichhane's talent to extend an invite to come to Sydney for the following Australian summer playing club cricket under Clarke's watchful eye. Hong Kong wicketkeeper Scott McKechnie, playing for the MCC, was dismissed twice by Lamichhane, prompting him to recruit the young legspinner to play for Kowloon Cantons at the inaugural Hong Kong T20 Blitz in May 2016. Serendipitous Sandy made his unofficial senior team debut as a 15-year-old in November 2015 against a touring MCC squad. Discovered as a 14-year-old by then Nepal coach Pubudu Dassanayake during a pit stop in the remote Chitwan Province on the way from Kathmandu to left-arm spinner Basant Regmi's wedding, Sandeep Lamichhane has continued to make the most of good fortune at every opportunity to come his way.
