Man its good to hear that. i was just sayin that none of these kids nowadays apreciate 90s hip hop. if you like these dudes, check out Cella Dwellas' land of the lost. Real HIP HOP UNDERGROUND
@Renulph If you mean the chorus, it's Gin and Juice. "With so much drama in the LBC, it's kinda hard being Snoop D O double G, but I, somehow someway, keep coming up with funky ass shit like every single day". If you mean the beat, I haven't a clue.
Yeah to me it seems mainstream hip hop took a dive around about '97 and by about 2002 I couldn't even listen to a rap station without getting annoyed which means something because I was still a kid in highschool back then. Just not my taste.
elementz1986 I was in college by 2000. I felt the same exact thing happening right around the same time. I would give you one more year - feel like it completely took the dive by late ‘98. Mos Def and Talib are.... was one of the last truly impeccable albums of that era to get any rotation. That dropped in ‘98. Shit has been downhill ever since. There have definitely been gems here and there, but not a damn thing that could ever reach the masses. I’m just happy I made a quick run out of the gates to get my driver’s license back in ‘96. It was always a pleasure riding my skateboard down to the record store on Tuesdays to cop the latest shit (I was lucky because my old man was in arts management, subscribed to Billboard mag, and always paid me on time 😂), but I will never forget the satisfaction of driving to the shop and driving away listening to what today would be considered undeniable classics. No real internet, so I was hearing most of these songs for the very first time on their release date. I wish I could have had a few years more of that, but I was happy to have a taste. I feel sorry that hip hop didn’t excel in the way it should have after that point. Believe me, I think it has, but that is truly deep underground at this point. Only real heads are “up to the task” of looking for it anymore. You seem to have your head very much in the right place, and I just wish you could have experienced the jubilation of walking out of the shop, having spent some hard earned cash, and driving away bumping a fucking banger. Linking up with your friends, lighting one up, and fucking laughing at how good the shit was. I miss those times - some of the best memories of my life and why I love the art and will never fully give up on it. But I wish younger folks (you’re my brother’s age) could have experienced it too. I really believe that was a special time in this world.
EXTREMELY underrated album. Po got better with each album, he killed it on this.
real hip -hop shit miss this man
Dope track....one of my many fav's. Wish artists today would come out with material as good as this.
One of the great conceptual Hip Hop albums ever.
