Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[6pac]

You stay reaching with this nonsense. You act like this was pervasive sound throughout hip-hop...as if ****** didn't grow up on bone thugs, three six, no limit, timbaland, Swizz, etc.

****** stay trying to act like everything was "boom bap, Premier-EsquE" type beats. You think ****** just magically went from bo nap to trap beats? Clearly there was a transition through those sounds and tha A what most of us in here grew up on.

Cut the ********

yeah from the south and the west. definitely a lot of classic ahead of its time music from those regions. and coincidentally where is everyone u just named from [emoji]128064[/emoji]

most NY 90's beats were trash until puff came thru and started putting actual musicality and switch ups on top of the samples it instead of letting a loop and a drum break play for 4 minutes

i'd venture to say a lot of the usual suspects that frequent these conversations here would say that 3 6, no limit and cash money werent classic or timeless music because of the subject matter and lack of lyricism *that SOME of the ****** in these camps possessed* [emoji]129300[/emoji]

against a male or female
cause i remember rumors that he was gay

He's not gay but he's a 2 way player for sure.

If you've ever heard about what LA did with TLC and the sexual culture around LaFace back when it was first starting, back with Usher and all that, this **** with Epic comes as no surprise.

well please enlighten us

the music industry full of characters lol

u got a gang war going over at death row and orgies at la face?

the music industry itself is probably much more interesting than the same hood narratives they keep trying to sell us on record

Straight from LA's mouth, he alluded to it when he was on Elliott Wilson's Rap Radar podcast awhile back. Real ATL Freanik type **** back then lol talking about how they hired mostly girls to be around and what not, and he said it playfully but you can kind of get the sentiment that he was deadass serious lol

And the rumors of him with a young usher have been pretty persistent for awhile now.

Just look at LA Reid...

Look at his face.

Him, Steve Stoute, all them ****** are playing for the other side

 

[P C H]

Firmly am in belief that LA Reid (And Diddy) was tossing it up with a young Usher back during the beginning of LaFace days.

NY beats was not trash. Premier, RZA, Pete Rock, QTip are all great producers. You just don't like it.

 

[Narcissist]

Can't take anybody serious when they say that type of sht

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Even if you exclude them....the late 90s-early 2000s "NY" sound was far removed from boom-bap. ****** would go get a premo-beat or 2...but the Neptunes, Swizz, Rockwilder, Just Blaze, etc. dominated that era.

Dude's background is crazy. He put alot of hits on ****** and him and Mike Tyson both put bags on each other heads after he got Mike's bodyguard and best friend killed. 

HE recently just got a life sentence 

 

[tay1]

Illuminati talk huh? oh boy.

 

[tay1]

I really liked episode 6 of TES when Joe was speaking about LA Reid and his impact from being an r&b guy

thats why i said until puff came along which would have been 95-96 when he really started getting in his bag

after that he raised the stakes as far as NY rappers radio and club potential

ofc just my take i wasnt around to witness the forgotten gems that history didnt glamorize

feel free to post some crazy pre 95-96 NY beats i like being proved wrong and put on to new music

i tried doing my due dilligence getting into gangstarr and illmatic and **** and i wasnt feeling it

hov cam mase puff x nore had their share of tough beats

i dont think all 90's rap is dust

the consumer felt the same way bc until wu and bad boy were ny rappers really selling like that? especially in comparison to the West who had pretty much pop stars (as far as their success) w snoop dre pac
