School me on the late 90s hiphop.

The golden years. The years where real rap artists were really from the street or poverty level before making it to the ultimate level of stardom. Where they would rap about things that were relevant to what life was like before the contract was signed, not about the things that occured after the money came in (swag, bottles, turning up, etc

).

Where DMX/Ruff Ryders and Prodigy from Mobb Deep were untouchable. Nas was actually on a decline in those years considering Nastradamus and the QB project didn't meet expectations. Cash Money introduced a lot of people to southern music. Eminem was on a tear with Dre. Big Pun had just hit his prime before passing. Wu Tang was entering the digital years and was still relevant.

The were years I actually grew into Hip-Hop as a kid to a man..

C'mon guys everybody can appreciate the 90s without having convenient amnesia.

Sure there's an influx of trash rappers but the subject matter hasn't changed much.
Just better rappers.
