New York was such a confusing time during the early 90s. Dre and the west coast were killing shi. Only people making noise back east was the clan. So from 92-94 you had this crazy weird mix of a bunch of angry bald NY nikkas in combat fatigues just stomping around all using the same aggressive flow over some horns/g funk synths. Weird af

i think it was biggie who brought NY outta that hardcore scaring the hos music and brought smoothness back to the game while nas brought back lyricism and storytelling from the streets without the roughnec shyt

‘I’m not gonna pretend I was old enough to appreciate the scene deeply around this time. But were any of those groups outside tribe and NBN that mainstream? You could see the wu and west coast influence on everyone at that time. Don’t know about the same with those groups

Had a Calgary Flames joint back in the day. Always wanted the Hartford Whalers, Penguins or Blackhawks. I think I may still have an old Atlanta Thrashers one at my aunts place
