i dont agree with the late '90s being better but good point.
mid-90s rap lacked a certain good-time energy that other eras had before and afterwards.im interested to read an opposing post.

the early 2000s are my favorite.
Was in 8th grade at the time
This was a big year for rap music in the sense that everyone was bringing their CD players to school bumping something different. Went to a mostly white school but everyone was bumping hip hop at the time. I bought a new album every week with my allowance money so I had a variety of everything. I had a older cousin who had all the classic shyt and I was still mostly stuck in the mainstream shyt of that year because what did I know I was 12.
So I had a variety of all hip hop shyt at the time. I was bumping a little bit of everything. That Juvinelle 400 Degrees was HUGE. I think everyone at my middle school had their own copy of that album. DMX Flesh of my Flesh was big(first time white people started to feel comfortable say nikka when singing a song). Funny how I tell young cats at my job how old Lil Wayne is and tell them my first Lil Wayne album was back in 1999. Jay-Z is one of my favorite artist now and I wasn't a stan at the time(Didn't become a stan til after I heard The Blueprint). The Bling Bling era had just hit. shyt was interesting

That movie was criminally slept on.
To me its a classic.
'Trading Places' meets 'Shawshank redemption'
Slept on?? Shiiiiittt. My cousin played this movie almost everyday. I know it line for line lol
My mom bought that album for me for my birthday that year. Remember like it was yesterday.
Brandsdale
Big Yella
don't think this is 1999 but these commercials were funny
Great post
I bump pandora all day everyday at work and it'll be most of these songs that pop up and I'll be jamming and then a BIG song like "somebody Gotta Die" pops up and I'm like man I love this song but this ain't the time for this shyt lolgotta unleash my man @mobbinfms on this thread.
...Hate Me Now vid was sick, but the GOAT in his projects was BLACKEXCELLENCE
I remember watching this on repeat...
Two of the best albums that year never got a proper release. The I Am and Murda Muzik bootlegs.
nope.
theyre nobodies in philly. i only know about them thru the internet.
same thing with the high & mighty. theyre nobodies as well. although, when they did the smut-peddlers thing a few years later, people enjoyed that funny "white girls" video that used to be on BET Uncut. nobody knew they were from philly tho, unless you were a rawkus type.

High & Mighty and Smut Peddlers is two different groups (although Mr. Eon is in both).
Yes.
