Who's your favorite rapper? (Howard University students in 1992)

[cozy carl]

not one of these nikkas said Father MC?!

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

not one of these nikkas said Father MC?!

Father MC I'll admit had a nice lil radio cut with Jodeci ...

But NOBODY WOULD EVER ADMIT TO BEING A FAN OR OWNING A FATHER MC ALBUM

He was like the CANDY MAN of the East Coast

 

[How Sway?]

Busta Rhymes?

Goddamn this nikka has been around forever

I just heard his new song on the radio today

 

[Charlie Broadway]

I'm honestly not even sure what this means lol.

I think he’s saying that he’s used to seeing “men” walk around looking like fruity color skinny jean wearing, concave chest having 5’7” skeletons like they do now.

 

[Cave Savage]

I bet the answers would be totally different just a year or two later

 

[Wild self]

I bet the answers would be totally different just a year or two later

Again, blame Puff.

 

[King Static X]

I bet the answers would be totally different just a year or two later

Yeah, 1993 and 1994 were transformative years for rap music.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Same. What gets me is that people back then were saying legends like PE and KRS One, conscious rappers about something. You think you would get that today? Especially with this generation?

You cant have a favorite rappers discussion today when all of these dudes claim to not be rappers.

 

[NigerianDonDada]

dope footage

 

[Lotsford]

Only logical follow-up to this thread is one on freaknik footage

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Hate to be that dude but I was born in the wrong era

I was a freshman in HS in 1992.

Everyone at my school in Newark was bumpin Kane, EPMD, Rakim, P.E, Pete Rock CL Smooth, Naughty by Nature, X-Clan etc

Personally I was bumpin Poor Righteous Teachers, The Juice Crew & Naughty

 

[Stick Up Kid]

This is beautiful. The west coast always got some flack for gangsta rap, but they still got together to spread a good message to the people .

I remember when that dropped.. the legendary Mike Concepcion made that song and video happen

 

[Idaeo]

Never heard of them. This was apparently mixed by Guru

 

[Actually6Foot3]

Yoooooo I dead ass remember those grape earrings from the 90s

I was born in 92 tho

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]
