MYTSHARP'S OLD SCHOOL VIDEO OF THE DAY VOL. I (18 AND UNDER NEED NOT APPLY)

The Artifacts was looked at then the same way you generalized the underground scene in your post.......cornball, backpak, soft, etc.
Really? Where was this at? Backpack yes, but cornball and soft?

Like you said they weren't ripping up the charts, but one didn't really have to go out of they're way to find music like this back then (which Ithink is part of the point others are trying to convey). It seems like now a days if your not up on "x".com you might not hear any of the newerunderground artists, when back then all you had to do was turn to hot 97 or rap city to catch this type of music.


seasoned vet........Good looks on posting those vids, I never heard of these dudes and most of it aint bad.

No offense, but is the "18 AND UNDER NEED NOT APPLY" really required. You're just as ignorant as the kids you so much despise when you make comments like that. I listen to old school music, both 80's and 90's, so when I hear music like this I'm just as excited as everybody else. I'm not crying about, don't take it the wrong way, it's just that comments like that are completely unnecessary. � �

[Big Boi] Boy Stop [Big Boi] Ain't not one thing I post say anything about despising kids. But I know that this record dropped in 94. So if you're 16..18...or whatever you were just a toddler when the %*%! came out. Take it easy and stop being so defensive. My-T.

- i hate to beat a dead horse but people outside of the NY area need to understand NY is NOT the world. i didnt grow up with Hot 97 around my way. we had BETbut for a long time BET was such a small network my cable provider made it share a channel with another network so we didnt get Rap City every day like mostpeople did. By HS we it had its own channel, and we were able to see Rap City all through the week plus weekends. before then i had never see TeenSummit....seen the commercials though.

- im from Illinois.....not Chicago, and yes groups like the Artifacts got clowned on regularly, as well as the people that listened to them (me). i had acousin once tell say to me recently (about us in HS) "man i used to hate riding with you, you used to be listening to that Gang Starr BS"

.

- i see exactly what you're saying but you and many others have to understand groups like the Artifacts were just as 'underground' then as thosevids i posted (in alot of areas outside NY). the NY area is only a small protion of the US.....step outside yall bubble for a moment. please understand, dude iwas in HS at those times you talk about the Artifacts on Rap City and remember vividly how you would see videos by artists like them maybe once a blue moon.*MATTER OF FACT* i remember now, tuesdays was the day to expect to see someone like the Artifacts.....maybe monday but that was it. i dont know how old yallcats are but groups like Artifacts and Hieroglyphicss wasnt getting no major play. this is coming from a video kid, hell i still got old video VHS tapes of oldRap City's i used to record.

- and no, its not hard to imagine Artifacts being called those same names because the idiots i grew up around wasnt into anything talking about something.to them that was gay, soft, backpak, etc. its hard for yall to imagine because all yall know is east coast. thing is, when you talk to alot of kids today aboutgood music all they're looking for is some poppy beat to dance to and what not, well the same can be said about the tastes of the place i grew up in at thetime. where i grew up they could give a *@*% about any of those artists discussed within this thread...past and present. so gettinginto a group like 'The Artifacts' was extremely difficult.

- i will say though, Rap City did represent when it came to the countdown though.



- LOL!! i think back to when i first copped Wu Tang Forever, cats clowned me. "ninja!, turn that BS off!" etc... luckily i wasnt a follower andmaintained my music taste, and my crate digging mentality to seek out what i had'nt heard about.

- but hey brother, im glad that you liked the videos. i just ask that you seek those artists out and support them. thats the only way we can get this trash offthe air.

I doubt it, if so they've done a horrible job. There points seem to be that underground hip-hop is trash, soft, lacking in quality etc
