Things in hip hop that are so forgotten they feel retconned

The Dipset reunion

Which one?

This one?



Or this one?



Which led to this



I feel like there was another one somewhere in between there too

Everyone talks about how Boss was a "Fake gangster" or whatever but literally on the intro of her album is a voice message from her mom saying how she grew up in a suburban household, went to catholic school and took tap dance and ballet lessons, how she went to college for 3 years, etc...

But nikkas act like this didn't happen, and years later act like it was new information when an article about her came out. nikkas killed her for being fake or "hiding her background" when she did the exact opposite.

CS. And I banged the hell outta that album...

Didn't HWA or someone go in on Tairrie for her time on Ruthless?

Clipse going on 106 and giving AJ and Free red aprons with sequins to cook crack in that kitchen and giving the camera the troll face.

Before Eminem, Aftermath records' flagship artist was King Tee. His album Thy Kingdom Come was shelved after it got 3.5 mics in The Source and luke warm reception to his first single.

Extremely mid. Shelved with good reason.

that shyt was delicious.

Got outshined by Nelly's Pimp Juice

edit: just in case anybody think I'm joking

I found it in a corner store in Miami as a youngin and was super hype! Tasted like ASS

I got one. No one seems to remember that Drake on Comeback Season was basically like an audition tape to join the Just Us League movement that the group Little Brother was heralding at the time. He was way more in line with the LBs and Kanyes of the world. When he randomly ended up with Wayne it was weird as hell to me because I bumped Comeback Season heavy but clearly he adjusted his sound well and made it work.

You may as well throw in Grafh on Rocafella

And NORE.

This guy:

He was signed to Jay Z's Roc La Familia label. Aztek Escobar and the Roc La Familia label as a whole have long since been forgotten as if it never happened. Dude is an actor now.

Watching that Snoop and DMX Verzuz a few weeks back and seeing X rap along to song of Snoop’s songs kinda surprised me for the simple fact that I remember X doing an interview a while back saying the only rap peers he even rocked with was Nas and Scarface. I think I remember him saying either in the same or different interview that he don’t rock with that gangbanging bullshyt rap.

J Dilla in general. He’s revered in death but a lot of people hated on his shyt when he worked with Tribe, solo Q-Tip, and Pharcyde.

REALLY?
