Something i learned in this thread...
1. 80% of these fools i ain't ever heard of but i do remember seeing some of these on THE BOX
2. It makes you appreciate being unique EVEN MORE! It's no wonder Method man, snoop, biggie, Nas, Mobb Deep, Outkast, LL Cool J, pac,Too short were all rap super stars, there was something about them that didn't follow the trends of that era.
which goes to my 3rd observation to any new aspiring mc
3. When you have your own sound, you stand above the rest, you carve a path for yourself whereas artist that all sound the same or do the same sound (no matter if its the 90's or NOW) eventually history will be cold to your legacy and make you a forgotten footnote in history. That's why E-40 been able to withstand damn near 3 decades. Some might not feel the dude, but there's no denying his sound!
while a lot of this stuff is dope, i notice that everyone sounded similar which is why it didn't translate into critical acclaim or longevity. Nore picked up on this quick and decided to switch it up a bit where his legacy has these joints you can bump with no problem. Same thing why Jay wasn't getting looked at by labels. That "I'm not selling out doing a few commercial joints" or experimenting really hurt these artist in the long run. Puffy hate it or love him really deserves all the props in the world for masterminding an MC like biggie into a well rounded ARTIST.
Puff is a genius all along, some of yall were just too stubborn to see his vision, it's not like he told his artist to go completely commercial on their albums, he just said "GIMMIE A FEW SINGLES and do what you want on the rest of the album"
He was doing them a favor by developing that bad boy formula, he did that so they wouldn't have to be forgotten like that
Underrated post here
The talent pool was very deep in the 90s, but you definitely needed something extra to stay afloat. Just having skills wasn't always enough for an artist to cut it long term. I dug and still dig most of the vids posted here, but a lot of these dudes only had that 3-4 months these videos rotated on Rap City...many of them didn't get to drop a second album, some of them never got to drop a first album.
Great times tho, there was lots of good shyt out there, not just by the names we know, but by the artists that didn't quite get over the hump as well.

Hasan the Love Child was never gonna make it with that shytty rap name but he was dope. The remix to this track with Dave Hollister was fire.
