[2manyFCKNrappers]

WOAT run.

You wouldn't understand if you wasn't in your early teens n early 20s in NY from 07-10

This makes me want to do a whole different thread on the lightfeet era uptown back then

I get it.

That was the moment I lost all faith in NY hip hop.

Thread would be better if you named the rapper or producer and why he/she got blacklisted.

 

[eastsideTT]

I get it.

That was the moment I lost all faith in NY hip hop.

that was the moment a lot of people's faith in NY hip hop was restored. NY was making fun, relevant songs again. You missed out if you didn't enjoy how dope those songs were

I think NYC radio made a big mistake when they shunned the whole "get lite" movement. Granted Webstar & Young B weren't that dope, but I think we could have gotten some quality music if we just let the kids rock a little bit more.
We still had the old guard patrolling everything, trying to "bring New York back". Now these same people have very little power, and have to play ANYTHING that gets hot.

I will ALWAYS feel like this record (Lighter "I'm Cute You Ugly") should have been bigger. The siren is too high in the mix, but that could have been fixed.



And Nore's version of Jumping Out the Window was dope

Why? The wackest shyt about the get lite movement getting shut down was how old heads refused to let new sounds come in. I mean I'm an "old head" myself. I started listening to hip-hop in the late '80s and there never was just one sound coming out of NYC. But a lot of people who didn't get on board until '92 or later are on some Peter Rosenberg "real hip-hop is supposed to sound THIS way" nonsense.
Without dancing & partying, there would be no rap music.

Yo can we get some stories on why these people got blackballed?

Or the thread kinda redundant
