The stark difference in Hip Hop between 1998 and 2002 is crazy

[I love Latina women]

Time is a trip

Yea...the fall off in those years was significant. Lot of factors, but too much r&b mixture, everyone trying to have a club hit, corny early 2000s beats, etc. etc.

Even 2000 to 2002 there's a noticeable decline in quality, let a lone going back to 98 which was a great year in hip hop

2002 was pretty fukking weak looking back. Lord Willin', Gods Son (kinda mid), Lost Tapes, The Fix were all dope but overall the year was weak

@Peter Popoff thank you for the rep points

I’ll give you some rep points again at some point. It’s taking me forever because I’m not running around giving out points every 5 minutes like I had been lol

Thank you tho

Tell me about it!

Just look back at these videos and see the huge difference









It’s even crazier when you go back to the early 90’s and then late 90s and see how quickly shyt changed

Well it's like 91 to 92 or 92 to 93-94

We forgetting that if you heard it in 98 it doesn't mean it was recorded in 98. Prob could be as far back as 95-96

I was trying to find an episode of Rap City from 2002 but can’t find one

People getting raped for using samples. Everyone trying to run with keyboard Beats to save money. The digital sounds took a long time to get decent.

But that last whole sentence is complete blasphemy

I agree with the samples part...shyt was trash

What's blasphemy? I'm saying those were the best albums from 2002, but the year as a whole was weak.

Post 96’ is the end of the golden era

Rap reaches the masses in 98 but hip hop as a whole undergoes a huge shift in the culture and things are never the same

He's the face of Hip Hop's decline. Yea, capitalism was involved in the artform selling out and going commercial, but I don't think any 1 person is more responsible for the decline than diddy.


fukk diddy and I've been saying that since the 90s
