That time in 1993 where artists had to switch up and go hardcore

[TripleAgent]

nikkas is tripping bigging up fukking ONYX they ain't start shyt

Onyx came in the game with this wack shyt in 89' (beat was ahead of its time tho)


then ghostwrote this joint for an r&b group you can see them in the video



Fredro Starr stole the Cuttroats concept & bought it to Jam Master Jay in 91 and blew the fukk up before the cuttroats had a chance to come out so by the time they did they sounded like they were biting Onyx smh



The cuttroats got done real wrong by the industry

Fredro said from jump their original style was Slick Rick knockoffs. Sonsee and DS missed JMJ's demo session, so Sticky came in, they did Stik 'N' Muve in his style, JMJ said "Gimme 12 of those", and the rest is history. JMJ and anyone related said the same. So, either they had their story extra straight from jump, and never strayed, Sticky somehow knew those cats and took the style, or some amount of coincidence. Can't be Menace, Bacdafucup came out months before the soundtrack. Also, at the end of the day, Onyx did it way better

Sucks what happened to them, sounds like a combination of label fukkery and bad decision making.

i think his name was forever outdated and also he never seemed to sign the right deal...even when My Life had a buzz and it seemed like Rawkus would do him right that shyt failed too

Never promoted/marketed correctly. Had he been on a good label, he could have been a force. He had hits up until Fast Life, and had some underground hits after. Cold Chillin' had its own fukkery, and Kane probably got whatever real marketing they had.

You'll never hear me say this...

Enter the Wu Tang

...I think Ultramagnetic MCs dropped a great album in 93.

That's albums i still listen to off top.

They buggin' out. 93 was amazing. Classics were dropping left and right.

My first time listening to that diss song

Great thread.

Even cube was guilty of this. He was never a soft rapper by any means, but he went from a political rapper to super gangster. I think 2pac and Monster kody called him out on it.

There was nothing political about Gangsta Gangsta

93' was



hip-hop really lost something when it wasn't cool to dance no more

This.. to me is the #1 reason why Puffy was able to kill the game because he helped bring the party back into the music

The sound of the culture changed again and had the Lox in shiny suits lol

Funny how that works

I definitely remember this phase. You even had RnB singers dressed up and moving around like cat burglars pointing there fingers at the camera like a gun while singing love songs.

Example

1992 but still applies

Not a love song and the group had this image since they first came out.

 

[Surreal]

1991 really with one song Let Me Ride

 

[The War Report]

Yet Tribe Called Quest never wavered.


Black moon, Wu Tang’s shyt was so organic. Then Nas took it to another level, followed by Mobb Deep.

I remember that stretch like it was yesterday.

[thelonious21]

93' was

Good music is good music so it def was some standouts/exceptions but

I wasn't feeling that shift at all

It reflected the streets tho....nikkas was dancers with flat tops in 92' wearing zoot suits

year later had baldies and was talking tough in army fatigues and timbs

hip-hop really lost something when it wasn't cool to dance no more

No lies told

Pretty sure there’s no such thing as “clout” on a message board. Hold up... I’m positive.
