Things About 90's Hip Hop You Didn't Like?

[mobbinfms]

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.

You're forgetting about the video shows/magazines. You wouldn't hear OGC on daytime radio in CA, but you'd see the video on Rap City/Yo MTV Raps. Plus you'd see them in the Source or other magazines.

Triple 6 is a different story though, before 97. They weren't on a major label. They weren't getting video play on the nationwide shows and they weren't getting write ups in the Source. Now maybe they had an ad in the Source before they went nationwide, but not a write up (to my knowledge). They were truly local in every sense of the word. Other than word of mouth/family.

Yeah that's absolute bullshyt. Can't stop the prophet got mad play on 95.5 (dc station). Iron chin is always on some bullshyt

Come again?

Never heard of this song or of that nikka in my life...only seen his name posted on the coli.

And the radio played alot of that got no bump in the hood.

You think nikkas was out'chea bumpin "i wish i was a little bit taller" just cus it was on the radio?

And at this cac keep thinking hip-hop publications was dictating everything that got play in the hood.

Look at that video i posted a couple pages back...i'm sure those kids needed some gook that wrote for the source to tell them his music was hot.

When a cac is in stark contrast with your opinion on hip-hop...that likely means you're on the right side of the issue.

I guess if you don't know who this is or have any familiarity with this song and know the ins & outs of his career that mean you ain't a real hip-hop fan.

@Iron Chin Wilder

@Iron Chin Wilder I'm still waiting to hear about DC's grand contribution to hip hop, since you insist on slandering Toronto due to your insecurity.

Let's hear what DC has contributed to hip hop and feel free to deflect to "Cacnada" so I can son you.
