The 3 albums that put Atlanta Hip Hop on the map all came out in 1992.

MC Shy-D & Raheem the Dream didn't impact internationally. It was these 3 that kicked the doors open for Atlanta Hip Hop and they all dropped in 1992. Prior to these albums what was coming out of Atlanta sounded like Miami bass. All 3 of these albums were major with numerous hit songs.




TLC - Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip

The sound was "next generation" new jack swing.










Kris Kross - Totally Krossed Out

Bubble gum east coast hip hop sound












Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of...

One of the pioneers of alternative hip hop

I'd agree with these. The only thing is Left Eye is from Philly, so that's heavily incorporated into their style as well, but Ooooooh...On the TLC Tip is definitely a hip-hop album

man i miss that early 90s aesthetic shyt was so colorful and fun

What goes under appreciated is how many artists were living in ATL even if they had bases elsewhere.

 

[Mastamimd]

You're absolutely right

Hip hop in Atlanta was a knock off of Miami bass before these albums dropped. It's kinda unfair to them because OutKast is OutKast but yeah

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Where’s Another Bad Creation? They dropped before all them

 

[Youngblood Priest]

Nah. But cook tho.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Always felt Sourthplayalistic created more of the sound

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Shy D: America Has a Problem
OutKast: Southernplayalistic
Y'all can pick whatever you want for #3

Beside the BPMs, there's no similarities between Atlanta bass and Miami bass. ATL bass was waaaaay more melodic

MC Shy D was definitely international.

Stop the cap. Which Shy D song is super popular internationally and well known? I'll wait.
