INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
Quality peaked in 1992.
1993 and 1994 were the last years left of quality.
Which were all delays. Or followups from trash labels with great artists.
or followups to back to back classics with underwhelming albums.
based off singles like gangstarr's code of the streets single and the lackluster lp.followup to back to back classic previously in step in the arena and daily operation. As well as the mainstream permeation of Jazz thing from the mo better blues soundtrack. That lead to gangstarr being rhe first rap act.
to debut on Johnny Carson's era of the tonight show ever.
As again. Nas was a delay 1993.
Jeru was a delay from 1993.
Big l was a 1992, 1993.
to eventually the longest delay in rap history in 1996.
As beatnuts debut lp.
after their ep was solid.
yet did not captivate a lackluster summer and held no weight. After previously being debut ep artist.
that had gained cultural and causal word of mouth as project of the year in 1993. As well as best nasty song all time production and execution wise in story. Which also shows a decline in 1993 quality. As beatnuts debuted and captivated communications act gateway fans. Who were crazy about carbooty music and freak nasty dirty rap songs. By having a Paul revere sample and callback. To the last time fans had mainstream gateway into rap.
from beasties debut much much prior to this. As well as rhe previous taboo ban of nwa. Where she swallowed it. Was their only way to stay in the marketplace with casuals. Hence why nikkaz4life is called the white boy's mtv introduction to rap. As the actual hood bought into nwa being ousted from ice cube leaving nwa. Way before no Vaseline or amerikkka's most dropped. So when amw dropped. It solidified nwa being culturally done in mainstream with black radio to hiphop. Yet still being mtv darlings allowing easy to split from dre. While still being mtv darling outliers. They previously banned on soc. Before politically pandering express yourself to mtv exclusively first.
All these things took place and used to be final. Till the communications act.
Which also respawned . The commercial and hood permeation of Dre.
Yet in hiphop,....Dre, snoop and easy were not accepted. Thus creating the mecca envy. Diaplayed by Death row out east. Then subsequently the source awards later.
1995 and 1996 were the first beginning of low quality in rap album wise.
As a matter of fact. The beatnuts had the best project in a downshift year in 1993. With their ep release.
Yet no permeation the next summer.
. As I remember buying street level.
being in the parking lot of evergreen Plaza. That I have no memory
.of that lp at all freshman year of college. Being a spin staple in my dorm.
Where detroit was different than chicsgo. As chicago wgci created the bds playlist. As detroit was behind in casual's even entertaining rap. As detroit was getting chicago dirty outhere brothers house from wgci bds gain list.
Way before wjlb and 106.3 in chicsgo would launch the sellout commercial where hiphopnlivss wack radio stations. That culminated with blowing ip 1995's. I got five on it via oversaturation. When culturally the luniz were thought of.
as wack as fukk and unlistenable.
When beatnuts dropped their lp.
It held no weight. after the previous casual most spun success of story.
A year earlier on their debut ep.
Plus no resonance in detroit. Which was just now becoming a dirty nasty house venue. Spawned by outhere brothers nasty freak house.
from the impact of culturally taboo house record percolator. Which bboys in chicago are completely juxtaposed to. [Hence social discomfort between me and outhere brother hula in real time later. When I later would become the roadie to juice. The same hula.
who produced summertime.
that ju wrote. Being a chicago transplant and knowing nothing about the division of house and hiphop. Plus not knowing the segregation as cali's all time best emcee. Transplanting back to his birthplace in chicago.
later as an adult. After leaving before being cognitive for la as a kid.]
While having full knowledge of house.
Simply because house originated from Chicago's wherehouse. Then given lead draw citywide. over hiphop from the explosion of crack and gangs. After krs marched for stop the violence in chicago public schools. Plus dissed kool rock steady. to stop the spread of sellout hiphouse. From culturally tainting rap. While the college radio explosion from pinkhouse on wkkc. Which occurred much later after wgci's 1390 first rap radio show with Ramone ski. Then whpk rap show that played uncensored rap. Who debuted nwa to chicago college radio airwaves uninterrupted in its entirety. By playing albums in full with no interruptions or commercials. As well as every subsequent t rap album release for its debut on cut out or white label promo. So ypu heard most rap on whpk. Six months before its release. Most times...in that late eighties era of rap. Way before rhe primetime debut of rap on the radio.
These variables and particulars all played a part.
That in real time in rhe summer twilight of 1994.
Weeks later... As boogie monsters and organized rocked that summer.
eat the p*ssy the beatnut foĺlowup of story. Was raunchier and held no weight.
As no casual heard porno star by ultra and tim dog. Even though Tim dog was embroidered in dissing nwa. As well as being a mainstay on the box rotations. Which we would find out was all payola as far as spins. By self admitted cheats like irv gotta.
to other dirtbags cheats in rap.
predating story as the best nasty record with the best bass all time in rap. That no casual knows the best bass rocker all time. In tim dog porno star.
To draw reference to how much xhsnged from the communications act. Way before grief from big death ushered in the puff hater jiggy brand of culture based destruction. That would eventually ruin all of hiphop moving forward.
. As there was no communications act. To create a casual commercial mainstream gateway to rap. Like the communications act has done. To debut a number of old but now new to casual rap fans in the summer of 1993.
those rap records in first foray of the oversaturation from the communications act were;
Das efx : 1991 white label release
Deep cover : two white label releases and remixes starting in 1991. To eventual deep cover movie soundtrack version after two previous remixes.
Cream : album cut. Now single catching steam much much later than the album debut. Almost six months after debut
1993 till : the invasion of the hiphop toy began with this record.
Alternatively...
To showcase how much casual disconnect existed.
Fsme now solo.
fame from beatnuts.
dropped on the same label as grav. Where grav was a fast upcoming unknown even in chicago. Where he only caught on from the casual speculation from the communications act. Yet kanye was not known. As producers being allowed pr was not common at all. Where snakebite dropped in the grav project and as a vinyl.
To win an eventual dmc beat juggle for babu. .
The communications act is what began the immediate annual change in music quality.
Jiggy already existed.
Which is just rhe Mca way. That already existed at sugar hill to uptown.
Jiggy is the same commercial direction uptown always had. Yet not culturally pHased out. For that small time after new jack swing snd house were concretely boxed out and used to destroy rap credibility. With Robin s and milli vanilla meets hammer and vanilla ice level wackness and fraud.
As well as Ice cube showing his first sellout style mecca envy style intentions.
to later drop on westside connection.
The seeds were planted from rhe communication act. Wya before the jiggy chsnge in landscape from the grief from rhe chsnge of rhe rapist sales ceiling. Which did not tske shape till one mo chance. As originally big was a culturally connected artist. Just on a shyt label with a trash egotistical rnb direction based a&r in puff.
Who again back then in summers before 1994. I used to talk to jodeci before gotta love dropped. Way before rhe impact of the slow burn of 4eva my lady propelled the mca way forward again. To then create the miss Jones music direction being taken by puff for Mary j.
1995 and 1996 were the first two ass awful years in rap.
Which was from the communications act. Not from jiggy originally. The death of big and rhe communications act. Coupled with the mca way oversaturarion method of Mary j blige my life. Predating big and pac death.
Are the pivotal moments that ushered out quality in rap albums. Which began in 1995.
As back then in 1995. It was taboo for mobb deep and raekwon to transition. Yet their direction, casual fan permeation [toys from 93 till playing dress up in droves] and sales. created their sway.
of how they were culturally taken. When before that.
sales and radio had no bearing.
on if a taboo content artist was accepted in hiphop.
As before the communications act. Real culturally endorsed rap was not played on primetime at all whatsoever. Past kmel's battle in LA. Where juice created rhe primetime permeation of rap with a broken jaw winning for six month straight. Till being disqualified for using profanity over the primetime airwaves. When previously rap played on am2pm college radio allowed profanity. Which is how nwa in 1985 gain undergrpund original traction nationwide. Which created the eventual abc news show 20/20 debut of soc.
