DMX didn't debut in 96 :camby:

It’s not to say no good, solid or great albums didn’t drop but their was a huge shift in culture and the way things were up held post 96

Sorry, you had to be there to really understand


shyt, yasiin bey hasn’t even dropped Black On Both Sides yet in 96

But the real golden years was 88 to 96

The genre usually resets itself every 5-10 years.

Whether we’ll like what that reset has in store is another matter entirely. Kendrick’s recent success seems like its primed for the West to have a run at being top dogs of the sound and culture but they need 2-3 more artists to take the mantle and make it a real movement.

I think it's also an issue that he and Tyler are the big sound movers and they both came out more than a decade ago.

Big pun and canibus in 98 were rapping circles around Mos Def. Miss me with it grandpa :camby:

Oh trust it will come full circle in about a year, when the drillers, "ballers, and party goers witness the party die because inflation fukked over their gimmick and real life steez.

Them struggle "do it for the love" raps going to come back like cooked Fenty, when MC AI takes the mic and makes the label a billy.

AzChike should be at that level if he capitalizes on his current momentum with a classic album :ehh:

Drakeo could've been there too but couldnt stay outta trouble :francis:
