90s brehs. Why did new jack swing die off?

[AB Ziggy]

 

[Cheech&Chong]

gangsta rap took over the main stream.

I loved that shyt to. Been listening to a lot of teddy riley related stuff lately. Great era

 

[King Static X]

Around 1996.

New jack swing was wack. Yeah, gangsta rap took over and Cube said, "you can new jack swing on my nuts". LOL

 

[chunky_mcdaniels]

It was a sound, they come and go.
G funk
Crunk/Lil Jon
Snap
4 incarnations of Trap
Neptunes/Keyboard
Swizz/Triton
New Jack Swing
Mustard (recharged Bay area)
so on and so forth.

NJS died off because It all started to sound the same....people stopped being creative with it

Kyle West and Gene Griffin were the masters of it bunch of copycats watering it down made it wack

Jazz Rap became the new in thing for a little while until Digable Planets killed it then came the G-Funk era

"gangsta rap killing njs" ? That didn't happen....NJS was already dead when gangsta rap took over

 

[I love Latina women]

Cause nothing stays popular forever
People move on and latch onto something new when it comes along

 

[cheek100]

When cali took over the game around 94

*TVOne Unsung voice* Gangsta rap ruined everything

*shows pictures of Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg and Nas*

Died off around mid-'92, it was replaced with the 'hip-hop soul' sound (MJB, Jodeci) where it became more about sampling classic hip-hop beats and stuff like that.

True.

I've always counted Kells' Born In The 90s and OOOOOOOHHHHHHH On The TLC Tip as twilight NJS albums.

Along with SWV's It's About Time, Silk's Lose Control, and Portrait's self titled debut.

 

[lilaznwoo]

There's some NJS here and there in today's music. I would like to see Teddy Riley and a few new cats get together for a soundtrack or compilation of NJS. Old acts and young acts trying it.

because the hoes wasnt feeling those colorful cross color dancing azz dudes in the club anymore... i.e (kwame)

so the fellas stop dancing and shaking thier butts...

and left that to the colorful club dudes with the funny haircuts

because like @cheek100 say the west coast gave us all that gangsta touch

talking about jacking and macking

and the east coast was inspired to rhyme about cocaine dollars cracking and glock packing

and the labels saw this as being more cost effective than the multilayred samples that teddy riley and eddie f were stacking.....

soon the south saw these elements and started extracting....
