Back in the day, if we wanted to watch music videos, we needed to tune into our TV and wait for our favorite rap music videos to come on. Remember the good ‘ol days when we used to spend hours in channels like MTV, VH1, and others. But right now, even if we don’t stay all day in front of the TV, we’ll be able to watch the music videos of our favorite rappers as much as we want to. We all have these video streaming services that give us the freedom to watch any MV we like, and of course, we are all here for it.

We’ve been browsing through several forums and there’s one thing rap fans keep asking: what’s the best video streaming service to watch rap music videos? Well, there are lots of video streaming services right now, but there’s one that’s worth it.

YouTube

This is a no-brainer answer because YouTube literally has everything you need when it comes to music videos, tutorials, TV shows, live streaming, and many more. For rap music, you’ll find everything here — mainstream artists, indie rappers, old-school rap songs, and a whole lot more. There’s not much to say about the content library of YouTube because everyone knows it’s a hub for everything.

Over the years of using YouTube, we’ve seen how the platform has improved when it comes to the audio and video quality and even in UI/UX. If you remember how you tuned into Dish TV to watch your favorite rapper’s music videos on MTV, you won’t have to do that anymore. YouTube is very accessible and it’s free to use (you just need to bear with the ads).

Other Music Streaming Platforms for Rap Fans

If you’re into TV streaming before, you know how tiring it can be to wait just so you can listen to your favorite rap music. But music right now has become very accessible because of all the streaming platforms available. Some are free, some are paid, but the best part is, they deliver the content we need to listen to our favorite rappers. To name a few rap fan favorites:

  • Apple Music

Apple Music is a favorite because of its Dolby Atmos and lossless on top of the great music library. There are also lots of up-and-coming artists who upload their music here, so it’s a great platform to discover new music.

  • Spotify

Spotify is another major music streaming app known for its user-friendly interface and wide music library. Similar to Apple Music, there are also lots of up-and-coming rappers here aside from all the well-known rappers. It’s also a bit more affordable than other options because of its family plan.

  • Soundcloud

Soundcloud is the hub for underground rappers. If you’re seriously looking for rap music outside of the mainstream rap industry, you must go here instead of Spotify or Apple Music. There are lots of gems on this platform that deserve to be recognized.

The Bottom Line

Right now, YouTube is still the best video streaming service to watch rap music videos. There’s no platform that can come close to what YouTube can offer when it comes to rap music and other genres for that matter. Aside from YouTube, do give these platforms a try and let us know what you think. Happy streaming!
