Many didn't even know they came out in 94. Def Jam went on to promote other groups.

When they released Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age in 94 ... "According to music journalist Neil Strauss, music critics initially accused Public Enemy of "being out of touch, of launching a weak attack against the trend toward gangster rap" - Wiki. :stopitslime: Chuck did go in hard on gangsta rap on the album. At the time it was a disappointing album compared to remarkable run of the first 4 albums...but Chuck was still giving everyone who needed it that work.

Whites undermined black music that talks about standing up to all kinds of injustice. PE's message was on the verge of changing the status quo, but gangsta rap destroyed that momentum and made a lot of lost black folk on that "I'ma keep it real and talk about the streets" as an excuse to glorify negative behavior.

Moronic name callers get mad when someone calls them a name. Ah, simpleminded fools who think they are enlightened.

No they don't. They are pretty much the only ones who support it. Come on nikkas said Nas was too "preachy". fukkin Nas..... Most Black rap fans don't want to hear anything "positive".

I mean white reviewers. We know there are a few CACs that support that type of music. But yeah, us brehs are dropping the ball on supporting positive black music outside of Kendrick and Cole. Most black rap fans want to hear ratchet c00n tunes on 808s with a catchy hook, and call it "Hip Hop."
