OR MAYBE WE JUST SOME OLD MOTHERFUCKERS SAYING AND HAVING THE SAME OPINION LIKE OUR GRANDPARENTS NOW. LOL

The thing I miss the most is the dope beats and hardcore grimey gangsta rap lyrics.

the other day i heard some teenagers bumpin some new shit and it just sounded like gay ass 90s baby rap. I guess i'm turning into an old man cuzz these youngsters new rap style just soundz GAY....FUCK SWAG, I'm tired of hearing rappers using that word. I dont support the swag movement or whatever the hell it is.

I almost forgot to mention that alot of the mainstream rappers in the 90's were actually dope, Biggie Smalls,Tupac,Too Short,DPG, just to name a few were good mainstream 90s rappers.
the mainstream rappers these days are mostly really gay.Kanye West,Lil Wayne and the rest of em all a bunch of fruity ass rappers.

The music video quality & styles & backgrounds; the mood, feel, & vibe in all of them & the rappers original performing styles they delivered in their music videos during the 90s & they ridden, carried on & vibed so well with the song & production as a whole & they chose great settings not just the street corners & projects but that was way back when I was watching them all on Yo! MTV Raps & Rap City when Doctor Dre & Ed Lover & Big Lez & Joe Clair were the top hosts...... The music videos on BET today are totally overconventionally glamourized as hell with the same ol style, content, feeling & vibe & there's no way in earth they can top any of the music videos made in the rap renissiance era...... I'll always watch them on youtube tho cuz I want my era back!!!

I actually wouldn't even call most of those names from the 90s mainstream. They were mainstream in the sense that they sold a lot of records but they weren't making mainstream music in the sense of music made to appeal to the mainstream.

they were getting heavy rotation on the radio and BET, so they were mainstream and those were just the first names that popped in my head but what I was trying to say is as a whole back then the main rappers were much better than todays main rappers.

Dre Dre The Chronic was being pushed as mainstream back then and it appealed to the mainstream market and they sold millions.....todays mainstream rap is skinny jean homo music.

I know they are around... every other drug is around but I am going crazy that I can't find any E... I know it's all over SF... but who knows....

Lyrics, substance, individual sound, individuality, and originality. Back then it took some good music to make it mainstream, now a days everybody is trying to make that mainstream sound.

I miss the whole 90's era. For the Bay and Sac it was about YBB, Get Low, Black Market, Awol, Sick Wid It, In a Minute, Inner City, Right Way, some of that early No Limit... basically that mob music. Not to mention the compilations where everybody was on their own shit. As far as that 90s mainstream, like somebody mentioned earlier that Pac, Big, DPG, Too $hort, etc. They was up there and still kept it gangsta. To sum it all up, it was that g'd up vibe all the way around.

no the 90's wasn't just that g'd up vibe the 90's was everything or we should say like 87/88 to 97. concious rap, hardbody rap, godbody rap, gangsta rap, miami bass, mobb music, screw music, pop rap, 90's had it all and you could hear more than pop rap or southern shit on the radio or tv all day long.

THINGS WEREN'T EVEN SEPERATED BY COASTS OR REGIONS. I REMEMBER WHEN CUBE SPLIT FROM NWA. HE USED THE BOMB SQUAD FOR PRODUCTION. AND MADE APPEARANCES ON PUBLIC ENEMY ALBUMS AND VICE VERSA. WHICH WAS STRAIGHT EAST COAST TO WEST COAST, AS IT COULD GET. I REMEMBER WHEN GETO BOYS AND LUKE AND THE TWO LIVE CREW IS WHAT WE CONSIDERED DOWN SOUTH MUSIC. THEN LOtS OF RAPPERS LIKE 40 AND TOO SHORT STARTED MAKIN APPEARANCES ON SOUTHERN ARTISTS LIKE 8BALL AND MJG. THEN YOU HAD FOOLS LIKE MASTA ACE HAVING THAT WEST COAST STYLE PRODUCTION.

BUT NO MATTER WHAT EVERYBODY BROUGHT CREATIVITY AND BROUGHT ATTENTION BY HAVING SOLID EFFORTS.
I DIDN'T MIND WAITING 2 TO 3 YEARS TO HEAR A SOLID ALBUM FROM MY FAVORITE ARTISTS. OF COURSE IF THEY COULD PUT MORE MATERIAL OUT I'd SWOOP IT UP. BUT I WAS CONTENT HAVING GOOD CONSISTENT ALBUMS. THERE WAS ENOUGH RAPPERS WHERE IT WASN'T AN ISSUE.

I HATED WHEN THE GARBAGE ERA STARTED AND RECORD COMPANIES. RECYCLED TRACKS, PUTTIN OUT BULLSHIT COMPS,MIXTAPES,REMIXES,A MILLION FEATURES,ETC.

THAT'S WHEN I STARTED BEING SELECTIVE ON WHAT ARTISTS I BOUGHT AND LOOKED OUT FOR
