During the 90's did the South have more lyrical/content driven HIT SINGLES than any other region?

[kingofnyc]

The rappers in the 1st line made socially concious & lyrically poingnant rap songs as their LEAD SINGLES

And did so consistently...

Huge difference compared to the rappers in the 2nd line.

breh -STOP IT
what.... u couldn't sleep last night :so u decided to make a troll thread 2 o'clock in morn hating on east coast '90 hip hop (da absolute greatest era)



by the singles u done poster in ur OP

So you're saying NY had a signifancantly larger depth of socially concious, lyrically poignant HIT SONGS (<<< Key phrase here) comparable to the tracks in the OP?


Yet we're like 30+ posts now in this thread and i've only seen two songs posted that POTENTIALLY & MAYBE fit the qualifications and can be compared to some of the bottom tier songs in the OP? Interesting.

All of the songs I posted were hits

 

[DANJ!]

Why do people think "lyrical" = "message!"

These kinda threads are weird as fukk. You can be lyrical about any topic.

mid 90s









OP would you like to change your stance now?

I fukk wit all 3 of these tracks...

But socially concious & lyrically poignant?

The World is Yours = No Lyrical depth - Aint sayin shyt in the song...just putting random words together

Juicy = I was poor now i'm rich and living good - this is a socially concience rap song to you?

Dead Presidents = A song about chasing dollars - Social conciousness & lyrical depth...where????

 

[mobbinfms]

None of those songs are nowhere near as memorable or popular from my recollection as the songs in the OP

TROY????

TROY????

This whole thread is false. During the 90s the South had the LEAST amount of lyrical/content driven hit singles and its not even close. Breh couldn't even come up with more examples. Kast and Goodie Mob were affiliated so of course their messages would be similar. Scarface WAS the Geto Boys for all intents and purposes. 8ball & MJG didn't have a national hit single till they got on Bad Boy

@Iron Chin Wilder

Did you even think this thru before you made the thread?
Or did you just throw some shyt against the wall and hope it stuck?

Yet nothing you posted you posted in this thread is comparable to any of the tracks i posted as far as fiting the full criteria i outlined...them X-Clan & Poor Rightgeous Teachers tracks you posted.

Stop it slime...

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Nas- One Love/If I Ruled The World/ Nas Is Like/ Street Dreams Remix

Lauryn Hill- Doo Wop (That Thing)

Puff Daddy- I'll Be Missing You

Lost Boyz- Renee

Black Star- Respiration/Definition

Pete Rock And CL Smooth- T.R.O.Y



I'm sure there are more I'm missing

Iron chin is an east coast brother that dikkrode the south as a youth. He should know better after being raised on teen summit but I'll let him cook



He's a funny dude at times so I'll give him that.

He's definitely lunching if he's just gonna pretend like the roots, blackstar, and de la soul weren't active during this period

Those songs weren't hits?

And if you don't think so your showing your youth

And I notice how you didn't even address my mid 90s examples. I don't see how the South had more lyrical/content driven hits when you basically gave a bunch of examples from the same artists. I gave you 8 examples from 8 different acts none of whom were affiliated.

I haven't even gotten to my West coast examples yet

Stop it

Trying to pass shyt like this off as a lyrical or socially concious on par with the tracks in the OP

You just in here posting random shyt that's not even related to the theme of the thread

And Cream is another track about chasing dollars and it ain't all that lyrical...if tracks like that are "socially concious"...you must think Migos & Future got mixtapes filled to the brim with socially concious material.

These aren't tracks analyzing or speaking on the human condition or tracks expressing any socio-political awareness like the tracks in the OP.

One Love would fit the theme of the thread if it was a hit...but it wasn't...it's a cult/regional classic. Wasn't a commercial hit in the 90's.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

@Iron Chin Wilder do you want me to stop yet?

 

[DANJ!]

So Eightball rhymin' about "bytches wit that lip grip, tight as a gorilla fist" is socio-political awareness?

Weird thread, bruh.

Breh obviously you weren't listening to the lyrics of Poor Righteous Teachers

And Cream isn't only about chasing dollars so I don't see how it wasn't lyrical cuz that fact went right over your head


One Love was only a regional hit even tho it was a single off an album widely considered the GOAT?

Yet you post an example from 8ball&MJG who were about as regional an act as you can get

I wanna see more examples from you that support your theory
