Back in the day we had award shows for rappers like The Source and Vibe awards that have had some of the most legendary rappers and moments in hip hop. Now all we get is the wack ass BET awards that seems to get worse every year.

I was about to make this thread the other day when I found those links on youtubes. this thread popped up when I was typing the title.
these parts 1, 2 & 3 are really parts 4, 5 & 6. ive still yet to find the first half of the show. I know people that claim to have it on tape, but none of them can "find it".
props on the thread tho.
this fills in some of the blanks from the 1st half of the show. cant find the 69 boyz performance:

nobody mentioned the snoop dogg/puff daddy hug where they "officially squashed it"?
its in this clip.
clip is misleading because theyre including awards that death row won the year prior.
cmon now. that's not acting hard.
yall trippin.
hip-hop's testosterone levels were at an all-time high. you can say that he was out of his element during this time, but to say the he was trying to act hard is an overstatement. same with when people talk about hammer during that time. and hammer would legitimately beat a lot of niccas down. i'd put money on Will to give a lot of niccas that work as well.

Crazy how NY-centric this award show was tho. I know Snoop and Suge come off as a$$holes, but look at the nominees. Its like they werent paying attention to anything else that was dropping in 94-95
"Jumanji" commercial in Part 3 
A little less extreme in my case but yeah. I couldn't roam the streets sober because common sense would tell any fool to seek shelter. Only way I could relax enough to sit out there was to guzzle a couple fortys.
On the stoop of a crack house ALL DAY... And I ain't even sell the shyt. Just hangin with my nikkas. Laying awake at night hearing gun shots every night.
When this originally aired, this went over my head the first time...didnt realize they had beef and really didnt realize he was rappin this right in his face looking at him...lol
This is when you recorded shyt on vcr and watched it over and over with your friends..lol
And then we all caught it....

If I recall correctly... Snoop, Dre, Cube, Eiht, Outkast, Scarface, Big Mike, Warren G, Bone Thugs, Da Brat, Rage, Coolio, etc. ALL got nominated for something. So I don't see where it was NY-centric. Those were artists from '94 who made notable music...
The belief that the Source was this pro-NY mag who discriminated against everything not from NY is a long-running myth, held up either by people who didn't read it back then or people from Cali who didn't feel they kissed their ass enough. Matter fact, The Source ran MEGA coverage on Death Row, gave good ratings/reviews to all the artists I mentioned, always ran articles and did cover stories on lots of 'em too. Most of the best music from that time whether it was East, West, South, Midwest or whereever got props in the mag, It wasn't all this super bias that everybody claims.
The sheer number of classic songs from that year...
