Raq needs to get some fire safety training for her team.

You go for the backdoor Lou Lou.

So now that I've heard the whole thing, yeeeeah they needed to '91 this up some, haha... not to get too deep into it but nothin about the song sounds like it's from that time period.

crazy i've heard little to no New Jack Swing on this, and it wasn't like it was just a Harlem thing.

Yea Famous sounds like he’s from 1997-99. Early 90s was much more gritty and rappers weren’t flowing like that. They still had that choppy 80s flow. Nas, Biggie, Pun and Jay hadn’t entered the game yet which made a lot of nikkas change their style.

This was 1991. Famous sounds out of place.

Nas made his debut in 91. Jay in 89.

For perspective this was what we was putting out in the universe via EastOrange/ Newark in 91

New Jack Swing was party music. Outside of the showcase, the show has been focused on the streets.

Jay didn't change nobody's style. Rakim got the modern flow. Check lyrics of fury

Rakim is not modern breh. He was dope for his time and influenced the new school but he has an 80s flow. Stop it. Multi syllable rhyme patterns didn’t become standard until the Mid 90s with rappers like I named (Nas, Jay, Biggie). In 1991, nikkas was just rhyming one word, not flowing the same way and splitting up sentences or making up words so they’d rhyme.

Compare this



To this



Nas is gliding over this beat. Rakim isn’t. Famous sounds like Nas when people back in 1991 would’ve been rapping like Rakim. It’s not accurate.
