Things in hip hop that are so forgotten they feel retconned

[KravenMorehead™]

Pete Rock using every breath he had back in '99-'01 to shyt on Swizz Beats and anybody who sounded like him. And if I'm not mistaken, Pete wasn't exactly 9th Wonders biggest fan when he came out with them Fruity Loops beats and those signature limp ass garbage level drums on his earlier work. It seems like nobody in the producer's circle acknowledges how big the rift was between the old and new guard.

He'd probably be gettin a verzuz right now if it wasn't for that.

But Smif N Wessun is an NY group and I'm sure Bone would've gotten booed had they won. And again Bone isn't from the East either, so yeah, it would still look like bias. And adding insult to injury, The Source had already dissed and dismissed The South in their review of SPCM in spite of it getting 4.5 mics. The Source was also dismissive of Bone.

Yeah, that's kinda my point. It wasn't a "fukk the South" watershed moment. It was Donovan McNabb getting booed because the Eagles didn't draft Ricky Williams, Jr..

Outkast just happened to catch an unintended stray.

To this day, there’s been no actual proof (just hearsay) that Biggie got on the radio and said to go get at Dogg Pound at the New York, New York video shoot. not saying it didn’t happen, but seeing/hearing is believing. RIP BIG.

Ice Cube has a legitimate claim to having 4-5 consecutive classic albums if you count Straight Outta Compton.

Pretty much every version of the Ambitionz Az A Ridah instrumental online is the Camron remix instrumental.

"The south got something to say" - This whole mythological chip on the shoulders of Southern artists post-1995 because Outkast was booed at The Source awards. The crowd was booing because Smif N Wessun didn't win Best New Artist. They weren't booing Outkast for the fukk of it, it had nothing to do with them or shytting on the South.

Duck Down/Boot Camp Click being extremely close to signing Eminem before Dr. Dre signed him. Priority Records is the main reason the deal fell through, they weren't willing to match the funds that Em was looking for but he was in constant contact with Dru Ha and Buckshot.

Tupac was also looking heavily into releasing music on Duck Down when he was recording the One Nation album.

Sean Price was almost signing to Def Jam in the early-mid 2000s.

DJ Premier probably has more "shoulda" or only exists in our imagination albums than Rza and Dr. Dre combined at this point. A solo album when he signed to Fat Joe's imprint back in the 2000s, another solo album announced about 6 or 7 years ago, the NYGz "real" album since Welcome To G-Dom was the "pre-album", his Nas album fully produced by him dropping February 31st, 2999, the Pete Rock vs. DJ Premier album they were hyping up when they went on tour together 5 years ago or so, and albums fromball those acts he signed to his own label. None of them got full length releases aside from Blaq Poet and NYGz.

When EPMD reunited back in 1997, they were supposed to helm the newest supergroup, "The Squadron" which was supposed to be Hit Squad and Def Squad combined. Nothing outside of the Back In Business album cuts ever materialized out of this.

Pharcyde and Souls of Mischief were supposed to drop a group album together esrly 2000s. I remember reading about it on and even asked Tajai about it personally after a Souls show in Philly and he confirmed it.

"Liknuts". The group composed of Tha Liks and The Beatnuts. They dropped one single like 10 years ago and were never heard from again.

Wow I would've been here for a Pharcyde/Souls album

And I vividly remember Pete Rock shytting on Swizz.

Eazy E was supposed to be releasing a double album titled "Temporary Insanity" in 1993. It was supposed to have Guns N Roses on it

I never heard of this, but I do remember shortly after Dr. Dre 2001 that Snoop, Cube and Kurupt were supposed to do an album together called "3 The Hard Way".

The Hip Hop community just seems to all go along and navy like Kanye West is not a certified Billionare. It's like it didn't mean anything for all intensive purposes he basically twice as rich as Dr. Dre.

Suge Knight may have legitimately got railroaded with a unfair charge and conviction.
If he was a white woman in the same exact situation would he be doing time?
