It is amazing to me and I'm not criticizing I'm just making ppl aware.


There are ppl on this board that believe no good hip hop came after 1997. 1997!!!!

A good majority of the board including me, believe the best of hip hop was over by 2005.

This board was created in 2012, Sohh :hamster: was created in the 1990s but majority of their members came 2000 or later.

That means SOHH core belief of Support Our/Online Hip Hop wasn't actually supported by most it's members by 2005 or later.

Interesting.

There's a thread in the 90s hip hop subreddit that had these and some of the Yo! links on there. Been watching them joints all week
Paramount + has an archive of original Yo! eps. Even the one Dee Barnes caught Dre's beatdown over (Ice Cube ep promoting AMW).
I asked Ed Lover if he was getting residuals from these and he said hell naw.

That wasn't on Yo MTV Raps.

That was on Pump It Up, a FOX show that Dee hosted.

Good rest the dead and I wish I knew what happened to the tapes but my dog KC had ALL of these shyts as well as all the Def Comedy Jams and Luke’s Peep Shows on VHS. I’m pretty sure after he passed, his peoples threw all those tapes away. Slim chance they kept them cause that entire family was hoarders before we had a term for it.

Wildest thing is BET doesn't have the majority of their shows digitalized pre-Viacom merger.

They literally have to ask us that post on Youtube for clips because what they do have is on reels in storage.

They played me on credit so they won't get any more from me.

I don’t think this is true at all, cause R&B was still legit well into the 2000s. Rappers wanting to “sing” and singers wanting to rap is what killed R&B. Instead of putting R&B singers on hooks and bridges, rappers basically started signing themselves, and ditched bridges. I’d say to directly pintpoint it, you’d starry with T-Pain in 2005. Every rapper started to hi-jack him. Then here comes Jay-Z with “Death Of Autotune”, thinking he’s about to do away with it, and it literally explodes after that, having the opposite effect of what was intended.
You took my whole post, this along with Ja Rule going on that crazy run and then when Drake crushed the buildings it was over with for R&B outside of a few performers
