Looking Back, Did "Laffy Taffy" Mark The Death Of Lyrical Hip Hop?

[bogey_j]

I remember when this first came out, many rappers cited this song specifically as the death of hip hop

11 years later was this song really the beginning of the end?

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Add this to the list.

 

[Yoda]

imagine not singing along to candy girrllll in 2017 lmaoooo song is a classic

 

[QuintessentialMan]

I remember when it was the No 1 song in the country back when I lived in the USA.
As a lyrical music type dude I was slightly appalled at first but shortys used to snap something crazy in the clubs though.
It was then Hip hop had to admit fully the south had taken its own space on the radio. Game had a popular line at the time that epitomized the entire scenario. Something like

''people from the A, keep snapping your fingers to get radio play, i aint going away, i dont regret what i say all i hear is one blood.....''

It was definitely a turning point

 

[Pit Bull]

Forget about the crunk era, brehs

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

No there's always been those types of songs. Difference is during the 90s there was a balance. Around that time when D4L came out there was no balance

Post 1 Song That Would Represent HipHop At Its Lowest Point

 

[GrindMode]

Add this to the list.

lmao

 

[Menelik II]

this era was close to the low point. laffy taffy, chain hang low, its going down, then hustle n flow

im surprised anybody kept the faith in hip hop

 

[Wild self]

Yep, 05 was the same year that the south fully took over the airwaves. Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Hoodie, and others made the east coast sound extinct.

 

[malbaker86]

Nope

 

[QuintessentialMan]

We had heard of lil Jon, yang ying twins etc. A lot of southern artists had been putting in work creating their Lane..... But D4L came outta nowhere and got to number 1. It was weird.

Hey where are the younbloodz. I messed with that group heavy back in 06'
