Doesn’t matter what you thought about when those guys were running things though

Regardless of what they promoted, they were still street dudes
:comeon:

Stop it. Kid N Play and Fresh Prince were not street dudes. Fresh Prince said out his own mouth he had a kid who beat him up in high school arrested. Street dudes aint doing that.

EPMD and Chuck D were raised in nice homes and their dads were in their lives and those two groups represented "Hardcore" hip hop.

Rakim was raised in the same neighborhood as Howard Stern.

Not every 80's rapper was raised in the hood, they traveled and went to Hip Hop spots and that's how they made their bones.

You ever seen the area LL was raised in? It was a very nice looking neighborhood.

Blame Akademiks,


He made it acceptable for cornballs to have a voice.

I’d blame Kanye too since he gave off “I’m gonna sell my team out to sit at the cool kids table”vibes as time went on.

Street nikkaz with honor these days are getting rare.

We all knew that Pac wasn’t a street nikka but he stood tall and didn’t rat


We seen Young Thug literally snitch in 1080p in footage from 10 years ago

Streets is dead these days.


It’s a money manipulative era we’re in too.

Stop it.

Benny literally said that there were cons to when the streets had a hold om the culture. He's obviously talking about when Gangster Rap really took off in 93 all thru 50 Cents reign. The conscious era of 88 - 92 did not have a street element at the forefront. You did not think of "the streets" when Kid N Play Fresh Prince and MC Hammer were running things.
Wait. They’re “conscious”?!?
:pachaha:

That's the reference name to the era due to the Pro Black revisitation that we hadn't seen in Black music since the early 70's. Plus the music was way more positive. Kid N Play made fun raps. And Hammer out this out during the height of his career..
