Yeah the days where we didn’t have disposable music. People would be hype about going to a record store or a music store to go get a new album that was dropped on a release now people by one song off of an album
'93 I was 16 yrs old. Sneaking out with friends and getting in trouble. I remember this was on the radio for the first time and we were hyped after listening to this. Life was so good back then. Miss those days.
I'm trying to think of its equal, but I'm finding it very difficult ... sure the Pac fans have something, but daaayyyuuummn, that line stops you in your tracks...
3:23 shows Bo$$, aka Lichelle Laws, who died two days ago at the age of 54, 3/11/24...a pioneer of the rap game, she was known for her self-deprecating lyrics and a style all her own. If you remember Bo$$, give that lady props because she was fierce and she kept it real. And this song was one of the anthems of the 90s - if you were alive back then, you know what I'm talkin about.
Tip my hat off to Boss. I didn't know she died, what a lady. May she rest in eternal paradise. Her song Deeper will one day be recognized for the audio visual masterpiece it has always been.
its the education, most of the new rappers haven't picked up a book no have they made time to learn bout their self so they have nothing to actually talk about apart from the 3rd dimensions desires and even then it's very hard for them to get their point across. That's why they all sound the same.

@@tylerspunucious7420Dude the 90s literally spawned almost every modern metal genre and metal sub-genres people took sounds of old bands and pushed it to the next level during the 90s. Nu metal, groove metal, Industrial metal, Brutal Death Metal, Slam Death Metal, Goregrind etc. The 90s were the most revolutionary period for Metal and Hip-Hop and just music in general. It’s a shame music started deteriorating once around late 2000’s.
