How could I forget this one

We're still in the jiggy era...It's been non stop since 1997... What does 90% of all mainstream artists rap about?


Money, hoes and clothes....


And they're still dressing like clowns and glorifying European culture.....

i though everyone knew what the Jiggy Era was?

And you could say Jiggy was from about 96-01. Dipset and the Blueprint killed Jiggy.


but yeah, the visuals were corny and some of the subject matter was insipid, but the consistent MCs remained consistent....

DMX killed the shiny suit era.

Label money was flooding in hiphop back then (even though most people were getting fukked by labels back then)

Look at those videos and look at the average videos today lol.

The Jiggy or shiny suit era got started up around the time Pac and Biggie were killed and it marked the end of Hip Hop's creative peak(87-96). You still had quite a few classics on majors but mainstream Hip Hop for the most part was trash while the underground was striving in the beginning and then, for the most part, became corny like the mainstream.

Wasn't nothing like laying proximity mines and spraying the RCP-90 in Goldeneye with that Harlem World bumpin' in the background. Damn, I miss that era

 

[Rakim Allah]

Most of the people who like the jiggy/shinny suit shyt were either a child or female during that era

 

[Uno Venova]

one of the best eras.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Hype Williams ate good off that era
