Why you say no bruh?mainstream-wise, it was a weak year by old school standards.
if you werent in on the mixtape game at this point, then you were assed out.
this was basically the year where everything started going downhill.
viacom bought up all the video channels and got rid of the box.
independent radio GONE. all radio is under two umbrellas.
radio/video basically transformed into a game of follow-the-leader, with the leader usually being mediocre.
almost all of the small labels were about gone and everything was beginning to fall under two conglomerates.
nobody EVER wants to talk about this stuff.
HELL-TO-THE-NAW
