Even with that shift why couldn't G Rap go gold on any of his 90s albums?
That time in 1993 where artists had to switch up and go hardcore
- Thread starter DaHNIC82
- Start date
Cypress Hill had a lot to do with killing all the bright colors and and some older rhyme content. On top of those mentioned. ONYX, Naughty, Def Squad. etc..
I loved these years. 91 to 93 is a really unique time. I know it's hard to imagine A LOT of peoples top rappers just not really being around or known at the time.
A lot of styles started being mixed as well. This is around the time a lot of these guys were able to buy their own equipment and records and make what they want. They were also on bigger labels that left them alone for the most part.

That was the power of black music. Mothafukkas was changing rapidly. Bobby came into the 90s on his way to catching Mike yet by 93 it was done. Granted he would have still been poppin if he didn’t prioritize being an addict and spending Whitney’s money but you get the point
New Jack Swing
G-Funk
East Coast Grimey/Mafioso Raps
Bad Boy/No Limit
Rocafella/Cash Money/Ruff Ryders
Decade done
C-Styles
Superstar
Not to mention the "HorrorCore" phase in 95 that had rappers doing some horror movie type of music videos and... nah man ima stop

Word. On another note..
nikkas dont wanna talk about it,but..
Once Doggystyle hit..
Snoop said the same about Bad Boy on his latest Breakfast Club interview. I've BEEN sayin this.
Bad Boy was basically an eastcoast version of Death Row. The sound was very identical & Biggie's flow
was similar to Snoop's. Smooth yet gangsta. Rapping alotta pimp/fly shyt. Over funk/soul beats.
@ Melvin Riley. Never knew he had a solo & went that route.
It’s not a secret. Bad boy was east coast Deathrow. But also death row was easy coast rap, with smoother samples and flows.
Also the chronic brought pop level mastering and mixing. The grimey shyt was out.
Facts.
I meant to make a post about Cypress Hill but got caught up at work.
When they 1st hit with How I Could Just Kill a Man and Hand On The Pump
This reminded me of the story of Pac kicking Lefteye out of his hotel room after she took her clothes off and had on some Naughty boxers.
You know damn well this type of music sold a lotta records in suburban areas 
them kids listening to gangsta rap when they never been in the hood before. It's like them gangland fake documentaries with that screaming transition between clips *AHH*

I was a Tribe head back then of course and fukking with Scarface and the southern shyt too.,I didn’t realize how much a lot of those videos and songs sounded and looked so similar lol. Everybody had to try their hand at it..
