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

[Rell Lauren]

That Gangsta shyt made the industry do a 360... Look at Run DMC:





Mc Hammer:






DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince




Even Vanilla Ice switched his whole shyt and tried to rap like Das Efx

The industry did a 180 OP.

Good thread BTW.

Say what you want about the south, but they brought the fun back to hiphop.

nikkah i dont even have a account over there nor do I check that site. That fool literally jacked my whole stat. Word for word.. Video for video the fukk?

I’ve seen “blue check” Twitter folks jack this place word for word many times.

The coli is more of a think tank than it even realizes

Naw bruh.... You must not of heard "Straight outta Compton" or "Amerikkka's Most Wanted". You got it backwards... Ice Cube's early music was the Gangsta shyt... his later albums were less gangsta and more political.

This... and also Ice Cube is one of the main reasons why all these other rappers started trying to be more hardcore. Ice Cube been on some hardcore gangsta shyt ever since 1987 when he wrote Boys n the Hood for Eazy E and then 1988 when he wrote and rapped on songs on the Straight Outta Compton album. So... to say Ice Cube tried to jump on some hardcore shyt in 1993 is completely false.

the funny thing is MC Hammer actually was a gangster in real life when he was doing his corny raps.

Same thing with Play from Kid N Play

 

[Mike the Executioner]

These two songs came out in the exact same year and were both hits.

I know it wasn't meant to throw shots at "Ruffneck," but the third verse of "U.N.I.T.Y." almost sounds like a response to it.

Ehhhh, this is kinda a reach... their change was Low End Theory if anything, which was far, far different from the debut. That was where they changed their style of dress and their music was less 'happy'. Midnight was the continuation of that.

Troof

Low End was a different direction than the first joint. I don’t think they wanted to stay on that same flow as the first album, same as De La.

My personal fav of this was Busta Rhymes. Dude was THE party rapper.

All the sudden after biggie transformed into Frank White, busta out here rapping bout moving kis and shooting up blocks and shyt. But it was Busta so it was still dope, but also corny as hell

 

[shopthatwrecks]

think about this thread n go back n listen to enter the 36 chambers entire album...

u will laugh ya ass off.,.,rza on his willie d shyt jus cussin for no reason


hi-c was a trip im still confused why he went that route when he was already on some gd up comedy like eazy

 

[bad_company]

Wow... when you look back at it it's like SNL skits, it's like parody rap.
I lived through it and enjoyed the chit out of a lot of that music but in retrospect it's

But I guess it's always been like that though. The pendulum swings. First everything is G-Unit sneakers, shootouts and funny tanktops then its Kanye with the pink Polo.

Btw, "Ice Ice Baby" is nothing compared to that "Roll Em Up"

 

[DANJ!]

The Run-DMC thing wasn't that drastic if you were around then.

Because they had already dropped this in 1990.
