So you're saying that when whites and corporations got MORE involved after The Chronic? What does that prove?
Which mainstream rappers from back in the day do you consider positive to the black community and did "reality rap?" To me there's not much difference back then to what we have now, atleast in regards to content.
That's not really true. You had a lot of different factors playing in the emergence of gangsta rap being the dominant genre within Hip-Hop. First off, Dr. Dre started doing soft songs like "Turn Off The Lights." Was Eazy-E also a in on it, and corrupted Dr. Dre to start making negative music in an attempt to undermine the black community? Because since 1988 Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and NWA were on that gangster shit.
Also, you had films like Boyz N The Hood that came out in 1991 that had a big effect on mainstream America, especially with Ice Cube playing the role of a gang banger.
Ice Cube was also doing gangsta rap since he left NWA in '89. He was like one of the biggest artists at the time, predating Deathrow, Snoop Dogg and the rest.
In '91 NWA's Efil4Zaggin went 2xPlatinum.
Dr. Dre's The Chronic went 3xPlatinum, so it's not like it was the big surprise you're making it to be.
