Nas did it for controversy and record sales.

People have been saying that hiphop is dead since the mid 80s, Biggie was one of those dudes who used to talk as if the 93, 94, 95-iish was the worst period in rap :dead:.

Bruh if you lived ANYWHERE NEAR Atlanta or the South during that time period you'd understand just how incredibly TERRIBLE mainstream hip hop had gotten. It was as if a viral disease of c00nery had spread 28 Days Later style amongst the black youth, nikkas just and yelling "YUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLEEEE" and doing the "stanky leg" like it was a fukking minstrel show. When Nas dropped that album it was like a beam of light shot threw some of these fools and some of them woke up and became aware just how Wack they shyt was. D4L and Dem Franchise Boys at the top of the charts was a disgrace to Hip Hop and music in general.

Nah bruh, that was NO lie, that shyt was like a diabetes infested sugar rush that almost destroyed the genre's life blood...
Are you telling me one-hit wonders hasn't always had the most hits in hiphop? From Kris Kross to Marky Mark to Skee-lo to Nas's own people Braveheart to Soulja Boy to Trinidad James and on. Nowadays it's even easier with the internet.

Why? Cause they usually make hit songs, club bangers, pop songs and these songs have the longest reach, as far as audience goes. Florida, Pitbull, Macklemore etc are dominating these charts. Kendrick, Cole and them (people who move mad albums) are lucky if they score 1 song in the top 20 per album.

If we only focus on the negative it's not hard to make any period seem bad.
05/06 was the period of Kanye, G-unit, T.I, Lupe, Jeezy, Houston, Nas and Jay as usual, Eminem and mad other artists from all types of backgrounds with all types of music.


And as far as the dance songs, those were among the first type of songs in hiphop. Positive songs promoting dancing.

:rudy:

kriss kross wasn't no dam one-hit wonders.

2004 - 2009 probably the worst era of all time for mainstream. Theres no denying it.

the past 4 years of the mainstream have been worst.

far worst.



That 3k remix :whew:



that andre 3000 verse was garbage.:scusthov:
I actually liked the original version of the song.

I know, but you know what I mean. Acts who strive of putting out a big single and the rest of their shyt being irrelevant.
"single-driven artists" like Pitbull and Flo-rida.

cant agree with that either. kriss kross albums had that wave.

I think the term youre looking for regarding kriss kross is "novelty acts". they weren't in that 'single-driven' boat.

mustve been some gay men.

besides, that aint the east coast. that's just new York. we aint on that "we are the world" chit up here. what new York does is their business.

Breh, let's keep it 100...

Nas says "Hip Hop is Dead"...and nikkas instantly acted like dancing to music was the ultimate fukking sin.....everyone wanted to front like they were concerned with hip hop as an artform, and never considered it entertainment.

Cats in the South was proud of the bankhead bounce,southside,gangsta walking and eastside stomp, then turned around and acted like Cranking Dat and The Stanky Leg were some shyt that never existed before in hip hop.


shyt, if we gonna call out all the dances of the mid/late 2000's.... why don't we call out shyt like the Wop,Running Man,Tootsie Roll, Harlem Shake,Pop Lockin' and all the shyt nikkas used to do?

im not into the little internet chit b. save your corny insults for somebody else.

besides, you really don't want to go there with the name-calling, nor do you want to try to compare "posting integrity" because you will lose there also. youre a weird little clown.
