its not that they lasted.

they didn't hit their stride & take the reigns until ruff ryders. and "we are the streets" is 2000.

Camron SDE is 2000.
Fam what im saying is just cause their chapters didn't close in the 90s and their careers thrived in the 2000s. Doesn't mean they not 90s rappers. Lox was platinum artists in the 90s fam. It's undeniable. There's people out there who ONLY fukk wit Cam career wise pre CHWM. Literally only fukk wit COTC thru SDE Cam. He has a whole career before The Roc fam. U can't just erase it cause u like them in one era better than the other.

Stillmatic freestyle, Destroy and Rebuild and Last Real nikka Alive>>>>>fukk outta here. Lol.
Also. The 2000s would only be considered better spitters if u like a "CERTAIN" kind of rhymes. And most of the nicest nikkas makin noise in the 2000's came from and/or was students of the 90s anyway.

:ohhh: ohhhhhhh shytttttttt -we agree on something :russ:


nah, but real talk
damn near ALL these early 00's top mc's/rappers
consider themselves 90's mc's/rappers

  1. jada -lox
  2. em -d12
  3. wayne -cash money
  4. 50 -g unit
  5. cam -dip set
  6. ja rule -murder inc
  7. benie -state property

but the MAJORITY of people liked them in the 2000s more than the '90s. its not about me.

they had their rookie seasons in the '90s. the 2000s is when they blossomed.

what do you consider 2chainz, meek millz, drake, Kendrick, & nicki? are they 00s stars or '10s stars?

true.

but the point is, the 2000s guys could make great diss tracks AND be lyrical.

the '90s east coast rappers had trouble with that, and got styled on.

and that includes nas. Ether was a fluke record. all his other diss tracks range from meh to trash.


Whatever...

Son Fab was born in 1977. He was 20 by the time 97 hit. He's only a couple years younger than Mobb Deep. I've heard Fabolous Sport since like 97 but I will give u him since he dropped in 01. The LOX are not 2000s rappers no matter how much u try to force that bullshyt. They had 2 joints by the time 2000 even hit. They had hit songs by the time 2000 even hit. Same with Cam. U can't just erase his whole COTC history and his first and second album cause u feel like it. Lil Wayne? 90's. Pusha T I guess is 2000s even tho him and his brother old as fukk and had the group and been tryna pop since the mid 90s.
Cam'ron is a 2000's rapper that Children of the Corn stuff was underground. Cam's legacy is in the 2000's that's the peak of his cultural impact on the game. He dropped one album in '98 everything else was 2000's.

When I think of Cam I think like '03 when Dipset was popping, the mixtapes, the freestyles, the pink minks and furs, the cars, the beefs and hits, the Oh Boy video.

The L.O.X. majority of they discography dropped in the 2000's. Jada, Styles, Sheek all dropped their solo projects and tapes in the 2000's.

It's not about when you got on its when you had your peak in cultural impact that defines what era you from.

nikka this thread ain't about impact. Them nikkas is 90s rappers. Cam was running around with Big L. Ma$e. Wrote a hit record for Lil Kim and Lil Cease. Had music on soundtracks. Had a bunch of features. Dropped his debut. ALL of that in the 90s. It don't matter what u 'think"of when u hear Cam. When Cam went to The Roc? Wanna know what the sentiment was? Cam was BACK. Meaning he was there before. He came BACK with a new rap style. Look and swag. He's a 90s rapper. Period. The Lox are featured on bunch of classic tracks. Hit records. And have a fukkin platinum album in the 90s. U nikkas can't be serious wit this shyt. D Block was hot in the 00s. The LOX was hot in the 90s. Don't matter when their solo material dropped. They came out as a group nikka. Lol

2chainz is a 00s rapper. Rest of them nikkas dropped they debuts in the 10s. shyt u could even add Drake and Nicki to 00s since they dropped projects before then.

Pure spitting? I might have to go 2000's. In a freestyle cypher setting you got Fabolous, Jadakiss, Joe Buddens, Cam'ron, Lil Wayne, Lloyd Banks, Pusha T, Beanie Sigel, Styles P, Cassidy, J.R. Writer, etc.

Why is Fab a 90's rapper? :francis:

Dude was a teenager for most of the 90's came out on Clue tapes in the late 90's and dropped his debut in '01. The L.O.X., Cam'ron, Fabolous, etc. are '00's rappers that's when most of their cultural relevance came and when they were at their hottest.

that aint how it worked backed in the day. when you dropped is only your first album it wasn't your first song..
Fab dropping in '01 means he been grinding, hype man, battling since at least 96 ..
LOX been the Warlox BEFORE signing with Puff .. Mase was Murder Mase .. Cam was Killa Cam ...



this was before they signed.. I just loved this song

the early 00 rappers are just 90s leftovers who didnt rush and followed the plan and dropped on schedule..
same way I call de la and tribe late 80s/90s ....

Right. I don't get their logic. If it's all about when you hit your stride as a solo artist, does that mean dudes like Sean Price, MF Doom and even Ghostface are considered 00's rappers? Doesn't even sound right.
