You know what I don't like?


I never liked the people who shyt on the 90s and try to overrate other eras. This decade is talked about 24/7 for a reason. It's the greatest era of Hip Hop deal with it!!!!!

Ol Vince Staples I like Bow Wow better than Rakim ass nikkas

I think that he isn't talking about the entire Era of it. Just a few aspects of that era.

Most rappers were high 98% of the time. When they didn't interviews. When they did shows. When they spit freestyles. High High High.

And I hated when they tried to sound smarter than what they were.

yeah everyone was blunted in the 90's :russ:

but hip hop seems druggier now :jbhmm:

...except now its not just weed they're high on :mjpls:

Mid-late 90s Down South meets East coast rapper collabs seemed kinda forced.
Due to the meteoric rise of Southern Rap (No Limit and Juvenile Cash Money)

Ex. Mr. Serv-on(No Limit) ft. Big Pun "From N.Y.to N.O."
Mystikal ft ODB "Who run this"

Maybe this is just me.

But it seems like everything was cold during that era (Cold as in temperature)
nyggaz wearing hoodies, tim boots, toboggans in their videos

look back at Jay-z's Dead Presidents, Nas It Aint Hard To Tell and Early Wu-Tang videos
to see what I'm talking about.

The over-commercialization of Hip-Hop that began around 97, 98.

You started getting the big budget videos with rappers on yachts they didn't own, driving luxury rentals, sipping Cristal. This is when excess and wealth started to dominate the content of the music ("Bling Bling", "Money Cash Hoes"', etc.) and artistic identity started to matter less.

Hip-Hop has been on a slippery slope ever since.

The true originals get their props, but as much as nikkas trendhop now, it was crazy back then if you follow the history.

Wu tang comes out in 93 and all of a sudden in '94 Pete & CL come out with "i get physical", LL on records talmbout "flava like praline" sayin all kinda weird shyt like he u god or ghostface or some shyt. The Pete/Cl shyt seems like label forced em

Pac dies now every nikka got a bandanna on tied to the front on some dikkridin shyt

it's more but i'm tired of typing lmao

Too many wack nikkas hid behind the "i'm from NY", "original sound" bullshyt when they really had no creativity and/or nothing worthwhile to say
