This video proves how cringey the 90s superthug era was

[Versace Joffrey]

I remember hearing about after 92 everyone had to become a fictional superthug mean mugger. Hip Hop brehs went from clean ass flat tops to bald heads and sometimes locs within a year or two

This vid is from a group called Raw Breed, look how cringe this shyt was

Also, what was with rappers and those weird ass voices back then?




Another cringe ass video. The mean mugging, big ass chain




Sad thing is, once this era began it never stopped

These are all of these drill rapper’s fathers, uncles etc and now they’re just repeating the cycle.

Hip hop needs a renaissance

that first group is doing an Onyx impression.

Fredro was that type of cringe in real life...
...me and some buddies were in a clothing store in Chicago and he was acting just like that while talking to a female clerk...
...dude was mad because they were out of something

You can tell that shyt was all an act

Check out this vid of onyx showing their soft side while shopping with Cindy Crawford.

Onyx was the original perpetrators that switched up. Before their hit song Fredro had a blonde S-Curl.

Even big willie had to switch up and rock fatigues and boots

That Curtis Blow and Mc Hammer acting hard videos
Hammer was able to still go Gold though
He'd really beat your ass for real.

“I started this gangsta shyt..and this the muthafukkin thanks I get HELLO!”

[Wandissimo]

shyt is an embarrassment

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Funny y’all bring up Fredro. I remember when I was in LA I saw some dance show hosted by him and that nikka Kel. I was dying watching them pop lock onto the stage from the back

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

This was the era where the label told you who you had to be. There was no other outlets for you and contractually your options were do it or sit on the shelf until they dropped you as a tax write off and you never got another look to do music again.

Rough ass times because labels just copied whatever was hot way worse than now so it was always super obvious.

Masterpiece of a thread, I'm on the floor laughing off this shyt, . And you on point what you're saying.



Almost every rapper has a gimmick, that shyt is wild corny, lol. Consumers, sometimes subconsciously, buy into your image/branding before they buy into your talent (somebody on here told me image means nothing a few days ago, ) so I understand why the labels "develop" artists and shape these ridiculous gimmicks and shyt...but it's hilarious, especially when that shyt aint the style no more,
