Most annoying hip hop revisionist "facts" ?

[Ghpstface]

I revise hip hop based on my thinking not the facts

its the coli way

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Also this terrible opinion that hip hop heads only like a certain # or artists per year, that we toss out all their music once they turn 33, that we're too stupid to enjoy two ninjas music because they beefed, that hip hop is an acceptable 'bendable' genre for other parts of music to fukk with

Dipset was a less dope more mainstream fukkery influenced version of the roots not wu tang

 

[mr. smoke weed]

I mean compared to Wu Tang were everyone had their own 'style' and their own 'crew' that went with them. Dipset was always stronger as a crew (with the exception of Cam), than they were as soloists. Just like the roots.

Only college kids liked Public Enemy. Knowing damn well these muthaphuckas visited slums all over third world countries and had people there rapping along to their songs.

Some real revisionist:

No Limit love nowadays was non-existent during the time. At least to "Real" hip hop fans. They thought Master P and Silk were awful and that No Limit flooded the market with sub par music and were a terrible fad. Now everyone acts like they made a bunch of classic albums and they were chock full of great rappers. Only rapper people halfway respect on No Limit was Fiend before Mystikal came on board

I've witnessed this with Lil Wayne/Cash Money.

Non-southerners and backpackers were not fukking with Cash Money like that until the Hot Boys were dismantled and Wayne dropped Carter 1/2....now he's the "best rapper alive" and everything he and Cash Money did was fire

Even for Cash Money fans, Wayne was always the 3rd best in the group

 

[joaoreis]

tupac, nas and the fugees had 96 on lock, followed by ghost, busta rhymes, outkast, xzibit, jeru and mobb deep. as far as jay goes, people barely noticed he existed and that's not even hating on jay, reasonable doubt was a good album that deserved more recognition, but it was overlooked in '96.

Add wu tang forever To 96

Years after Pac's death, 90s New York rappers either swearing they had a diss record ready to end Pac's career and/or a story on how they checked him/almost whipped his ass . Same nikkas who was quiet as mice and scared to say his name when he was alive.

The revising of lil wayne to more than an embarrassing footnote of hip hop is definitely a moment

He was never the hottest rapper out at any year, which was genius in retrospect and why he stayed relevant for so long. Being #1 or the hottest comes with the eventual cost that you'll suffer from over-saturation

DMX was the hottest in 98 to me

I agree with this to an extent but late 98 early 99 he was on top when hard knock life came out but overall it was x year.

This was 1996, when tupac had very public confrontations with Nas/Mobb Deep. Biggie said everything except his name, so who are you referring to friend?

This 'one mc' dominated 'one year' is such bullshyt. Since DMX was popular in 1998 nobody else was?

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

Illmatics a classic album

You don't know what revisionism means

Add wu tang forever To 96

wu tang forever came out in 97

Keith Murray claiming he fought Pac

Clark Kent claiming Jay-Z had a career ending diss ready for Pac (as if Jay had the power to do so back then)


A version of the Nas/Pac confrontation where Nas hemmed up Pac by the collar and Jungle pulled a pistol

Fraudmaster Flex going on a "F@$k 2Pac" rant years after the man is dead.


Just a lot of ducktales & phony bravado when nikkas know damn well he had 90% of Eastcoast emcees spooked when he was still here. Now that 20 years have passed, he's all of a sudden everybody's punk.
