Just caught this movie on randomly lastnight. Thought the shyt was pretty cool in a b-movie sort of way, but I enjoyed it. Thought the rapping was pretty good and not too much on the corny side. Though that fat nikka was spittin with the smooth flow. Ahm was spitting on his track, but dude got dusted in that club battle.

I'm gonna check the series out on the strength.

On a somewhat unrelated matter. Why are there random 1 post threads that link to this thread? Why does this thread not come up during a search, but these other random threads do?

Anyone watching the original series? It's surreal watching Method Man act as a dad. This dude Ahm is way too intense. Like damn breh, you don't know wtf a hook is? Like, you just started listening to music yesterday?

Hip hop back in 1990 is drastically different from 2017. Hip hop TODAY is nothing BUT hooks. Hip hop today is MAINSTREAM and social media is everywhere to where you have easy ACCESS. Hip hop is 1990 is still on the cusp of mainstream. Mainstream rap back then was MC HAMMER, VANILLA ICE. Street nikkaz wouldn't even DARE try to listen that pop rap shyt. They wouldn't even be a hip hop nerd trying to buy the latest rap shyt... they're still in the hood, in the projects in their world that they ONLY KNOW..... so they have zero clue about the music shyt...

Nah, Hip Hop been out for a hot minute before 1990. Act like The 80's wasn't popping. You make no goddamn sense. Where the fukk you think Hip Hop was popping off? In the hood.

I'd argue that for a guy like Ahm, he may know what a hook is but not know it by that name nor is he interested in doing one lol.

Hip hop wasn't mainstream in 1990 unless it was that rap n bullshyt POP shyt... that Young MC Bust the Move type shyt. People in the streets only fukked with hip hop on an underground level and many of the hood nikkaz only know the people from around the way who could spit. Ahm is a hood nikkaz...he has never done anything but spit bars in an underground battle circuit. He wouldn't know the mechanics of making an actual song. And there wasn't any OUTLET for him to learn it either.

Nah. He's right. This show is set in 1990, not 1999. This is right around the time period that Rich Porter, AZ, Alpo and all them were around or directly after. Back then drug dealers were looked at like the real nikkas and rap nikkas were looked at like fake nikkas. Rappers weren't making millions of dollars. Street nikkas were. Rappers were asking drug dealers to borrow their chains and cars and money. Street nikkas thought it wasn't really real that you could make millions being a rapper because it wasn't a thing yet. Nas made Illmatic in 1994 and made $17,000 that year off that record IIRC from the MTV Diary joint he did and was still living in Queensbridge. A drug dealer in 1990 would probably look at LL Cool J like a clown with all that dancing around with no shirt on and baby oil singing love raps. Or nikkas like Kool Moe Dee rapping on TV but, still living in the projects. A nikka like Ahm would not be caught dead breakdancing and beatboxing. I could easily see a nikka like Ahm thinking it was all bullshyt. It wasn't until Dre, Snoop, Biggie, Diddy and various others came out selling 5 million albums and rap becoming commercialized for nikkas in the hood to know it was real and also urban music shifted over from 80s b-boy raps and new jack swing to grimy hood New York shyt. Which would appeal more to a nikka like Ahm then LL Cool J and Run DMC.
