The cause
what i miss most about 90s hip hop is the balance it had...you would see a mc hammer video and right after.. a mic geronimo video...the diversity was:blessed:

People always talk about the West Coast East Coast beef of the 90's. But shyt, the NY beef with each other produced some great music. It was the wild wild er' west in the 90's...

hip hop starts in the mid or late 70's, gains traction with some monster acts in the early to mid 80's, is full blown broadcast into suburbia by the late 80's early 90's, hits a dangerous peak (literally & figuratively) in the mid 90's, is pimped out and sold like a crack ho's cheap p*ssy on an early sunday in the late 90's.

nothing after that really means much of anything.

I look at it this way: Everyone at some point will want their years from 15-27 back. The music is just mental a benchmark for the memories. So when they reference a memory it's easier to recall it by also recalling the music that accompanied it.

Thus prompting people to say "I want my favorite genre to make music like it did in 19XX/20XX". People were on the same page listening to the same things and the memories were special to them.

The 80's drug dudes took over Rap in the early to mid 90's. Then eventually Corporate America took over in the early 00's till now..

Kinda crazy Rap's history. But the funny thing is tho, it still has followed the path of other genre..

Breh, I respectfully disagree. From a purely nostalgic point of view, based on people whom I've come into contact with, most of their yearning for "The good ol' days" was usually accompanied by them making it clear that "That song ____ was all over the radio, parties, etc". That's what I'm basing my observation off of.

I'm not saying that people don't make new memories with up-to-date, current, music. I'm simply saying, in my opinion, that one of the reasons people want the 90's "back" is because it represents their youthfulness.
