What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I think Down with the King is a dope album, but I can't defend this. 
That time in 1993 where artists had to switch up and go hardcore

I’ve always hated that “wiggity wiggity wiggity” stuff they used to do in the early 90s. “Boom Shake The Room” around :45 seconds is an example 
damn, now i know why Common made I used to Love her in 1994. lol
Its because you went from African Medallions to superthugging.
Just another motherfukking day for Dre so I begin like this
No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists it's just
That gangster glare, with gangster raps
That gangster shyt, that makes the gang of snaps,
How did Dr. Dre get away with that?
We need to make a thread about that.No wonder Ice Cube bounced NWA and wanted nothing from Death Row

MC Hammer became just Hammer & dropped The Funky Headhunter 
Tribe sound was so unique, while many rappers had to rely on other nikkas to make they beatsThat's crazy. Who's responsible for that shift?
Btw tribe called quest is a example of a group that didn't switch their style up but stayed relevant

I wanted to talk about this. The album that pops in my mind is 14 Shots to the Dome. If you go back and listen to that album, it's dope. Especially the Pink Cookie remix done by Easy Mo Bee. The only problem is that we weren't used to hearing LL on those type of beats. The same thing with Hammer's The funky headhunter album. That shyt was hot, but no one took Hammer serious doing G Funk. I hated 14 shots to the dome back in 93. I thought it was one of the worst albums of the year until years later listening to it again and thinking that people just weren't used to hearing LL on those beats.
cube may have been one of the originators of gangsta rap but people say he was bandwagoning because in 1993/1994 he was putting Khalid Muhammad on his albums and name dropping him then months later out of nowhere all the pro blackness in his music disappeared and is making gangbanging music with Westside Connection
ice cube made a song called “us” in 91 where he calls out the degeneracy of the black race but he reinforces all those stereotypes on the westside connection album years later
