Above poster, you & other posters please stop saying the same shit. Refer to the below quote.

You was like 9 years old in '96. You wasn't going to no fucking Hip Hop shows nor REALLY knowing what was going on. Everything you know about that shit was learned via Google.

I never really got into Lupe, went to his show in DC, nigga killed that shit.

During Homecoming week, I seen Rick Ross, Wale, Lupe, J. Cole, Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick. Was Dope as fuck but I Would've traded all of that to see some of the spittas from the 90s...

I feel bad for you homey and all the 90's babies that were either too young or just didn't understand that history was happening. Lucky for me my High school years were:

9th Grade: 94-95
10th Grade: 95-96
11th Grade: 96-97
12th Grade: 97-98

Tupac and Biggie died my 11th grade year. I was 16 when Pac went and 17 when Biggie went so the heart of my Hip Hop Life was right there in the 90's. We had it all, the artist, the classics. The singles back then were much more diverse, you would have your commerical stuff but all the underground stuff got airplay also. The Movies like "Juice", "Above the Rim", "Menence II Society", "Boyz In the Hood", "Poetic Justice", "New Jack City". And Yes even the wack artist of the 90's still made better music than the weak dudes now. We had Rap City before it was the bassment and after, we had Yo MTV raps. Watching Rap videos after school = GOAT. It was just a great time to be a hip hop fan. My Avi of NaS and Biggie was a photo taken of them together in 1993, I post that picture because at that moment when they dropped, that's when I knew I will forever love rap music. It's this era that has kept me holding on to this genre even past my 30's. This last decade was a huge step down for the genre but there was still some good music.

Just think about it though, Naughty By Nature, Tribe, Dre, Snoop, Ice Cube, Warren G, Dogg Pound, Biggie, NaS, Jay Z Tupac, Redman, Wu Tang, DMX, Bone Thugs, Big Pun, Puffy, Bootcamp Click, Jeru da damja, Fugees, Outkast, Scarface, No Limit, Lil Kim, Foxy We even got Rakim back in the last 90's. It was just THAT Era. 80's era is the only thing that rivals it. So I sympathize with what the O/P is saying about not being old enough to truly appreicate the era. I feel the same way about the 80's because I was a youngin during the Golden Era 82-89 so though I heard the music through family I wasn't old enough to appreciate it. Remember, everyone his their own era in life so it's not that you got cheated, destiny brought you here when it did. With that said I feel blessed that my teenage years was 90's Hip Hop, Classic Ish which is why no matter how old I get, I pop in those songs and it's like hoppin in the deloeran and going back in time to when Hip Hop was just uncut pure crack rock, lol. My 1st Clubbing experiences was to that great 90's era, going to the club with 90's Hip Hop, they were playing album cuts in the club not just singles, that's how dope Hip Hop was.

not true being 9 in 96 doesn't mean he had no idea if what was going on , i knew 9yr old who had over 100 hiphop cd collection in 96 .

I understand what you're saying T/S. And I didn't have cable in my household for the longest so I was deprived of a lot of good stuff. Stuck with radio (and it's funny b/c all my life I felt like the radio was wack just cuz I like to determine what I listen to. Now I realize it wasn't nearly as bad as it is now).

And b/c of my age/ignorance in high school I now realize that I didn't fully understand the content and weight of certain things I listened to.

I'm glad two cats understood what I was saying...

By the time I got to High School & College...instead of Big & Pac...we got Drake & Ross. Not diss but, it aint the same. You can Google & Youtube to death but, if you wasn't there to see it & be of certain age to understand it (16 & up), it aint the same. When I'm 50, I can tell my grandkids til I'm blue in the face how joyous I felt when Barack Obama became the first black president. My Grandkids might nod along & might research the articles but, its not the same. I could tell my nephews how fucked up 9/11 was. They might Youtube the Towers falling. But, they wont understand how fucked up it was to see that shit on National TV at 8:45 in the morning when Maury & Ricki Lake should've been on.

Tis all I was saying. I wish I could see Pac & Biggie on a live set or be a teenager growing up in the 90s. I dont agree nor fit in with the faggot hip hop hipster culture of 2011. Its cool though.

Man I was born in 87 and I remember 90s hip hop vividly

Okay...

1. a young P. Diddy as an Intern, a young successful Russell Simmons, $1000 Bet...What Happened?
2. What was Jay-Z's first single as a Solo artist?
3. What city is truly credited as the birthplace of Gangsta Rap?


Answer those bruh...see if you can do that shit w/o Google.

Oh yea...if you wasn't old enough to go see any artist live or wasn't a Teenager during the period...you really aint experience shit to keep it real

I thought it couldn't get any realer but this sums everything up. Man the feeling of comin home and taping rap city and yo mtv raps and the box was the greatest shit EVER! Matter of fact I still have a gang of vhs tapes of all that shit I need to convert to dvd. Man them was the days... The experience was just way more genuine and new. Hip hop was still pure and really just starting to take over the globe...until the money came and changed it of course. You'd have to have experienced it to really understand.
