In the past decade, pop music’s twin loves of dance music and hip-hop culture collided numerous times in incredible ways. Oftentimes, the tracks that resulted were either major pop culture game changers and/or Billboard chart topping hits. In this list, we highlight six different times with 13 different artists when dance and rap-friendly styles merged with amazing results.

By 2013, the idea that dance and rap could pair together in the modern era and create an enormous and progressive sound was quite well known. However, when party-ready rapper A$AP Rocky paired with festival smasher Skrillex for this trap and dubstep-themed track, many more than “me, myself, and I, my three friends” were into it. While not a top 10 hit by any stretch, it’s definitely the song that set the table for tracks like Skrillex’s recent pairings with Pusha T for “Burial,” “No Chill” with Vic Mensa, and Rick Ross for “Purple Lamborghini.”

Impressively, six years after its release, Steve Aoki still plays his electro house remix of Kid Cudi’s 2010 single “Pursuit of Happiness.” Similar to Italo house kingpins Crookers’ remix of his 2009 single “Day N Nite,” this is an iconic Cudi remix known much more for the damage it caused on EDM floors than in traditional hip-hop circles. Well worth a listen, it’s one of those tracks that impressively defines an entire era.

Whereas Diplo collaborating with major-level dance music kingpins is pretty much par for the course these days, his 2011 collaboration with Tiesto and Busta Rhymes for “C’mon” was groundbreaking. The bassline electro bomb was a left-field sound for Diplo at the time, and for Tiesto, it pre-dated his evolution from being known mainly for trance into making sounds that had a greater number of genre influences.

Before uniting as Swedish House Mafia, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell were house music titans. However, with a touch of UK hip-hop powerhouse Tinie Tempah’s superstardom, the trio reached an iconic level of success. Post “Miami 2 Ibiza,” Swedish House Mafia went onto sell 50 million-plus singles, including collaborations with Usher, Knife Party, Pharrell, and Coldplay.

The Black Eyed Peas’ evolution from pop-locking rappers on 1998’s “Joints And Jam” to club-ready fist-pumpers by 2009’s David Guetta-produced “I Gotta Feeling” would be remarkable on the surface, but upon deeper review was always a potential final destination. Check out 2000’s “Weekends,” 2004’s “Let’s Get It Started,” and 2006’s “Pump It,” and the rap-meets-EDM smash that was “I Gotta Feeling” ultimately makes all of the logical sense in the world.

From rapping and singing to songwriting and producing, Pharrell Williams is a man-for-all-hip-hop-seasons. Putting him in the same room as “French touch” giants Daft Punk and disco icon Nile Rodgers of Chic fame effectively unites four decades of American urban dance culture on one production. Therefore, the idea that “Get Lucky” would be debuted at Coachella and go on to be a US and UK #1 dance hit as well as reach #2 on the American pop charts makes sense. A little smoother than trap and funkier than house, this one perfectly hits all of the right musical spots.
