Vanilla Ice growing dreads looking like a white member of Das EFX and doing some super cringeworthy song and video on weed trying to sound hardcore.

Good thread.
Mic Geronimo having a song called Time To Build on his debut album in 95 featuring Jay Z (which was simply spelled JZ in the liner notes), DMX and Ja Rule. It was produced by DJ Irv (Irv Gotti)
Crazy how Mic Geronimo was hot before all of them
Jay Z featured on Da Graveyard which was on Big L’s first album
Mr. Dalvin from Jodeci co producing the Rainy Dayz remix for Raekwon and Ghostface
Erick Sermon’s kid group from Philly, Illegal. What happened to them? I know they broke up. Jamal had a couple songs after that. Lil Malik randomly popped up on Doggystyle. I heard a rumor years ago Kurupt was trying to recruit him to Death Row since they had that Philly connection
Busta Rhymes getting out the crack game after being held hostage in a Baltimore crack house and almost losing his life
Common being an unofficial member of the Roots at one point
Smif N Wesson’s brief run as the Coco Brovas
Wasnt it said Lil Malik actually was related to Snoop or something like that?
Nah that aint what it was. That was what they were trying to make it look so you (read: the consumers out there) would buy it. All them
nikkas either got a check or did favors for Jimmy/Dre.
Moesha’s Overbearing Dad

International collaborations over linguistic borders. There were some in the mid 90s (obviously I know more of the ones in France) and Rza even made that whole album, then it looks like it kind of disappeared.
(Given the examples I know of it might've been of a Wu thing though lol)

the NY - France connection was strong
Mostly because Paris has always been seen as the Hip Hop European capital, but now I guess it’s London

In 08 Ross dropped a whole tape dissing T.I. The beef started when TI stole a beat a young Kanye made for Ross which became “Doin My Job”. The tape is still up on DSP’s.

Facts. And french rappers back then were heavily influenced by the East Coast/NY, much more than LA, Atlanta, Midwest etc
Akhenaton was already in NY in 88 and hopped on this track, first US/FR collab':
