Most annoying hip hop revisionist "facts" ?

That's a huge exaggeration but there is truth to the idea that Pac was more loved "globally", but nah...that's a trash ass thread. I still wouldn't say that's a widely held opinion by anybody with some common sense.

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
Everyone hated the Mase/Diddy shiney suit era, but just like No Limit, time has turned "Harlem World" album into a classic
Rappers in the 90s were really gangsta. Nah, most of them nikkas was frauds and pussies too, just not as many because there wasn't as many rappers. And we just didn't have social media to easily expose them like we do now.
Bone Thugs was novelty rap, they weren't considered this great group at the time, they were just the really popular group that raps fast but nobody knows what they're saying
By 1999 Nas had fallen off completely in terms of respectability. Not in terms of notoriety, the Hate me Now video probably one of the most popular videos of all time. But Nas being considered in the Rakim elk had been gone at that point. Nas didn't revamp himself til the Jay-Z beef.
Big L being one of the greatest rappers of all-time. Big L was considered a great MC, that made a good but not great debut album and then died. Now you have kids in their teens talking about Big L is a top 5 rapper of all time
This is something that had me like
when brehs are saying Bones was bigger than Wu-Tang and them 
Now I don't know if this is revionnist but the whole "Dilla saved my life" movement is forced as hell to me, I mean we all know breh did some amazing songs and all but to have him as the GOAT producer?

The Dilla one is a perfect one. That is def revisionist. A lot of people either didn't know Dilla or didn't like him for producing Tribe's worst album. Maybe in the D he was well respected and I'm sure in the industry he was, but as fans most didn't rock with him, at least in NY. Most had no idea who he was. Now there's a bunch of 18 year olds who were like 11 when he died talking about Dilla saved my lifeThis is something that had me like

Say friend is that Big L mural in the middle of cacdom, suburbia? Or is it in the middle of Harlem?

Yo lol
This is one I forgot. Might be the most annoying revisionist fact other than Documentary being a classic album
Dilla literally became a fad the moment he died by white boys and p*ssyless backpack underground nikkas. I have no problems with Dilla getting love, he was Top 10 Hip Hop producers ever, but 90% of those "dilla saved my life" fakkits completely disregard the work he did with Tribe, Busta Rhymes, Pharcyde, etc. Dilla's music initially was pretty much mainstream (he was many commercially successful Busta Rhymes albums) nikka didn't get tagged as underground until I think that album he did with Madlib or maybe Donuts.
Not to mention I remember hearing about how people initially hated him because he "ruined" Tribe called quest's and Common's sound with "Beats Rhyme and Life" and "Electric Circus". Just goes he was truly ahead of his time
I just hate these new dilla fad nikkas who act like Dilla belongs to them when the nikka literally had a decade legacy before his "underground" run
I literally just posted this same shyt but you beat me by two minutes
Dilla fans need to be praying to Busta Rhymes because he really exposed Dilla to the world
I'm not from New York but it's in the middle of Harlem I heard but the Gentrified Harlem
I refuse to believe 95% of you have been listening to hip hop for more than 5 years

Most of the people on the coli seem well educated on rap to me, if you want to see some really annoying stupid false revisionist opinions on hip hop go on Twitter
I have a question for people who were around during this time.
But I heard biggie caught some flack from those anti-material rap fans, and some rap acts dissed him to because of his rap content
Im aware of the boot camp diss, some say Roots dissed him to though.

Biggie, Nas, Jay Z, Ghost/Rae, all caught heavy flak from each other (and others) during this time period for being too flossy, who'd ya think kick in the door was for?
It was implied that The Roots dissed Biggie with the "What They Do" video where They make fun of hip hop video cliches. Questlove also said once he went to some concert and Diddy was mean mugging the shyt out of him with 50 other nikkas or something but then they talked it out and it was squashed. Biggie was already dead at the time though
I do know people did hate Biggie and Bad Boy's shiny suit shyt, like Wu-Tang, OGC, etc
