Horrorcore rap, live in the trenches gangbangers and street dudes on the mic, lack of social media and the movements against censorship that allowed newfound artists to say whatever they wanted as long as they put the appropriate rating on their cd.

It wasn't misogyny..... just personal anecdotes being recited
Marketing.
Rap was a scary thing and to sell you had to fit the new mold.
Just like the dance/snap/rington and Shiny Suit Era, it was all game.

They gonna skip this, but here it is.
OP talmbat it's "insane" to be hard on hoes tells me he don't how hoes do.
You gots to be hard on hoes, or hoes'll make it hard.
Albums that barely went gold were damn near considered underground. So they didnt draw much attention, and once again no social media.
Also hip hop still had a lot of people willing to speak up and defend it back then before it was infiltrated

2 of the best rapper/lyricists EVER
Lol @ "reigning stars" you act as if they're rise was illegitimate and completely fueled by cacs when in reality when they went to any Black city there was cats screaming "We want Eazy!"
I honestly can't tell if you have a West coast bias or an East coast bias tbh
Dude, DOC & Cube are by far 2 of the greatest lyricists ever.
EDIT: I see you said you don't know DOC.
Dude, DOC was the 3rd best lyricist in Hip-Hop in 1990, other than Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane.He was that great.
He then went on to write huge portions of nikkaz4Life, The Chronic, and then Doggystyle

When 2Pac, Ice Cube and Ice Cube were making their albums in 1993 and 1994 Tha D.O.C. was in their studio sessions he even confirmed it on his interview with Sway something which was rumoured before. All of their pen games suddenly went up.
In the case of 2Pac and Ice Cube it's clear that they obviously write their own stuff because it sounded the same before and after but there's no question that the quality stepped up after fukkin' with Tha D.O.C.
I believe MC Breed had a lot of ghost writers.
Tha D.O.C. and Snoop were apart of the reasons why Suge wanted him on Death Row.
