What? I hated 90's rap! It glorified violence too much especially those Westside Connection guys, Ice T, kina Dre,Snoop etc.
My best Hip Hop era was the early 2000s. When Kanye was still College Dropout Kanye, Xhibit was still doing 'X', when Nas had that beef with Jay, when Foxxy Brown was still a rapper....I could go on and on and on...I still have my copies of The Source and Vibe magazines from back in the day.
I remember how Aaliyah was in the cover of Vibe the very month she died. Such wasted talent.
Even the bubble gum rappers then were more tolerable, who can forget Lil' Zane, the 502 Boyz, the No Limit crew.
You just had to take me there....*sigh*


Post-2000, i feel is exactly the time when Mainstream hiphop lost its direction. Guys started to put out mediocre lpz.

@Buster, a good sample. You should listen to Nas' Illmatic n tell me your perspective of a classic album/record won't change


Huge Nas fan here. I really enjoy his lyricism. Untitled and Stillmatic are my favourite


Nice listen. The come back album esp Stillmatic, Reminds me of Ether & arguably one of the most celebrated hiphop beefs of our time!! Nas Vs Jay Z's Take Over/Supa Ugly..


Nas won lyrically but Jay Z won overral when Nas got signed to Def Jam. Jay Z was his President


Lol, very true. Nas won the battle Jay won the war.

I'm a huge fan of hiphop, courtesy of Greg Morey (sp) of the then Metro FM, though not loyal to any particular artiste but instead pick the best from each one of them.

This has remained one of my favorites for the longest time:smile

Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Let me break it to you slowly... have you ever heard of the Rain man and why he is so reverenced by them? (referenced by the hip hop artists)

Am not one to judge people's info by their background that's why am making reference to the guy's video with an open mind though we may not quite agree on the verses he fronts from his own belief system.

The questions he asks and the observations he brings to the foreground are reason enough to cause one to be extra cautious and wary in the light of hip hop the culture. Check it out with an open mind hopefully....

Just use that as a reason to get you to patiently research more on the same, because one source isn't enough to convince someone of its truth. Analyze all your findings collectively and then see what seems to conspicuous common amongst them all. I already have my conclusion which doesn't mean you have to agree with it but just check that video out then go on a research spree...

Rain man means Satan, everyone from JayZ to Kanye to Weezy to Eminem to Rihanna have lyrics paying homage to Rain man. Rihanna's Umbrella, Weezy feat Fat Joe's make it rain plus numerous Jayz tracks all pay homage to Satan. It sounds crazy, but its the truth. So far, Nassir Jones, is the only one who hasn't sold his soul, thus he is not as popular, but he is still the greatest!
