It was most definitely…


OJ and Gucci held it down for the trap nikkas

Drake held it down period during that year.

We started hearing more Nicki Minaj around that Fall of 2009


Yo Gotti was making waves

Raekwon held it down for the OGs

Blackout 2 was a ok album

50 and Ross were beefing


I was in middle school when this all went down.

Yeah that was a shyt year :hhh:


We been in the dark ages of hip hop for decades now

That’s one of those years so bad I’ve blocked out of my memory

Blackout 2 was ass cheeks :scust:

Did u buy the CD????


I did..years later.


I remember when those posters for that album were up at the CD Depot back in 09.

Those albums weren’t moving that much.

I wanted that album but my Mom said “No”because of the weed references by Red. She let me get It Was Written by Nas so I was still happy.


Busta’s album was asscheeks too looking back.


Dude was trying to hard to capitalize off the Trap sound.

Hustler’s Anthem remix was my fav back in the day so I’m not tripping simply because Busta got my nikkas OJ Da Juiceman and Gucci

No one wants to say it

But 88 to 96’ were the last great years of Hip Hop across the board

After that it got watered down and janky

Not that there weren’t great albums but the movement got taken over by the suits and shyt became monkey see monkey do and business as usual and it went corporate

The whole culture shifted and just changed for the worse post 96’

Definitely a wack ass year, lol.

I actually liked Rozay's music at the time, but there was a lot of really weak sh*t dropping then.


Yeah that was a rough ass year lol

He has a great ear for beats

Right? And it’s evident by how so much of those albums don’t even get talked about now lmao

Facts.

After '96, the underground was still thriving until like '99 though. But overall, we went from being spoiled by classics left and right, to having to search for decent sh*t that we could play forever. It was weird.

Yessir bruh

That’s true

We had MF Grimm, DOOM, Rawkus, Immortal Technique, and a few others that did keep it bubbling during that time

Exactly and we didn’t have the internet in the way that we do now either
