De La Soul dropped a whole album lambasting the state of hiphop in 1996
and made Pac create the classic Larry Holmes bar
And look how playing gangsta worked out for him :dayum:

I don't blame them really.
They dropped "Stakes Is High" because Tommy Boy told them to change up their shyt after "Buhloone Mindstate". They were basically told "nobody is feeling your weird shyt any more."
Which is why the album is so angry and hard, by De La standards.
Fred.
To be fair he also dissed Onyx and DAS EFX. It wasn't like his whole problem was with gangsta rap....it was more so the gimmicks that had started to pop up.

nikkas been complaining about Hip Hop since Hip Hop was invented.
Me, Myself, and I came out in ‘89 complaining about the gold chains and tough guy image in hip hop.
Crossover came out in 92, complaining about nikkas making songs for radio play.
I Used to Love H.E.R in 94
Stakes is High and What They Do in 96
All these was during the “Golden Era”
Same nikkas that was crying back then is crying today.
That’s why I tell these young nikkas to pay the old heads no mind.
Complaining in Hip Hop is tradition.

Lol @ trying to warn listeners. Hip hop didn’t get shaky until a whole decade plus Later
The hate in the 90’s was boom bap lover, east coast nikkas mad more than one sound and region was making noise, nothing more

That shyt sound wack, but it's not even a gangsta rap record, gangsta rap record was a style like trap
shyt like this
You can't be a grown ass man riding around pumping some nikkaZ THAT KILL COME OUT OF YOUR CAR
Just like I can't bump no Down for mY nikkaz today that shyt too ignorant
I use to be a big Three Six fan when I was kid, they music ain't even listenable now, and I understand everybody was telling they wack back then, I just really liked they beats, but that shyt was way too ignorant
Like I don't understand how somebody could listen to Spice 1 on a daily basis without losing they goddamn mind
Nikkas been complaining about the state of hip hop
Y’all was doing it then and y’all doing it now
False equivalence as Com's shyt, while classic, sold like 2,000 first week.
So nah the general consensus wasn't that hip-hop was fukked up in no god damn 1994.
Anybody suggesting otherwise is crazy, or wasn't actually around back then.
Fred.
I know you know but its funny how nostalgia clouds everything. Everything was a classic and got love back in the day until you start paying attention
Now punk nikkas wanna test me
But all that tiggedy-tiggedy tongue-twistin shyt don't impress me
It's just a phase, and you know damn well
That you'll fall off in a minute, cause that shyt don't sell
Funny how you think you could surpass me, or outlast me
With that bullshyt style, you're fallin fast, gee
See, I suggest you go back where you came from
(Your mic, and my mic) Come on, don't play, son
See, the days of payin dues is over
I'm a little fed up, and it's time that I show ya
We battle one time, you're dead, no sequel
(Your mic, and my mic - come on yo, no equal)
Twista stepped up but still
Looking back on the 90's most of the classics were Eastcoast and South records, The westcoast was hot trash outside of the Snoop Dre, and Pac
as far as albums were concerned
I mean Bow Down dropped in 96, you same year as Reasonable Doubt lmao, is there really a comparison, imagine listening to some goddamn Westside Connection in 2019 that shyt is hot trash
All Cube Music after 92 is hot trash, and not even listenable
Gangsta rap was hot in the beginning but by the time the mid 90's came that shyt was HOT TRASH, I mean go back and listen to some of them records, they ass
