Me and a friend were just talking about what were the best times in HIP HOP, and he said the latter part of the 90s were the best time. We're kind of youngso we didn't experience the 80's Golden Age. But I was thinking about 95-2000 HIP HOP compared to what's out now and Hip Hop truly is dead.
Just think back to all the variety we had in the 90s. BET and MTV played more than reality shows, and made their bank of great music, not supermanin$%%+* andsnaping your index and thumb.
Just think about all the major hip hop labels and imprints that were bringing fire. Damn near everyone on Loud Records was going platinum. Mobb, Pun, etc.Terror Sqaud was actually dropping hot albums.Rawkus' underground scene was flirting with mainstream success. Death Row and the West Coast were throwingout classics. Bad Boy and the East Coast were throwing out classics. DEF JAM had the industry on lock, The Hard Knock Life tour...biggest Hip Hop tour. Hell,even DJ Clue went platinum. Meth, Red, DMX, Ja Rule, Jay-Z....etc. Outkast had the south on lock. The South was actually making good music back then. UGK,8ball and MJG were throwing out hood classics. Even the underground West Coast scene was poppin. We had all the variety in Hip Hop. It all sold well too. Noweven Jay-Z is struggling to go platinum and Nas has to name his album a racial epitaph to sell records. People like Lil Wayne are actually called good rappers.
HIP HOP is +*!%#@$ dead.
