Just gonna post this because I saw it when I was pulling up the Question Mark video and you probably never heard this - this was a Bay Area group on that "real" hip hop vibe. They were Sway and Tech's group.
Classic - album was dope too.

Lol I doubt that nikka is a legend in his own hood. When folks say shyt like that I already know they're a suburban white boy or foreigner who got all their knowledge of hip hop onlineDon't put the east coast (or the south for that matter) into a box breh. I'm from DC born & raised (gotta lotta fam out in the M tho) and shyt like Ball & G and 3-6 had the streets on absolute smash in the late 90's early 2000's...UGK too. Ain't a whole lot of nikkas up here that knew about Fly...but i've honestly ran into more people up here that did than fukked with that wutang shyt.
And some of this local NY shyt these canadians & caucasians in this thread are naming i've never even heard of..."jeru" fukk is this shyt?

I'm absolutely disgusted with the hate against jeru the damaja

sun rises in the east was a genuine 90's hip hop classic

Are people in here still acting like they listened to every hiphop classic back in the day knew their impact instead of only just listening to what they were exposed to like normal people? :whiteparadise:

I agree to an extent. There wasn't the widespread use of the Internet in that day so you had to rely on local record stores, the radio, etc. A cat in Memphis or Birmingham got the big East Coast acts like Biggie but likely missed out on artists like OGC. Same as many East Coast cats likely missed out on early Triple 6 Mafia and the like.
Nowadays there's no excuse (b/c the Internet) for not hearing about underground artists and such but back then it was more reasonable.
