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.

Same here homie. I was lucky enough to see Biggie and Big L in concert back in '95, which is to this day one of the Top 3 concerts I ever been to. Trust me, young'ns nowadays ain't got shit on niggas when they were young in the 90's. Nas, Mobb Deep, Illegal, Shyheim and tons of other niggas back in the 90's could actually spit, not like these gimmicky ass rappers now.

my sis used to pay the shitty movie all the time and the soundtrack of course i know that track. i might not be able to recall every track of the top of my dome but once i hear the rack you bet i can rap along to it

 

[FieldTripsToTheHood]

Born in '78....my 93-97 high school soundtrack is >>>>>>yours. Got RapMastermind by a year.

 

[kevmic]

I was born in 83, so when I got into high school my freshmen year the year was 97, so I was at that age where I was really starting to appreciate hip hop, and it was in the thick of all of the good music. I had a homeboy in school who didn't sell bootlegs but the actual albums. Outkast, Dmx, Jay Z, Nas, Lauryn Hill, Missy, Timbaland, and eventhough no one wants to admit it on the IC cats were even bumping Murder Inc...lol

But as much as we love 90's hip hop, it was also the mark of the beginning of the end of what we knew as good hip hop too. Artists like Nelly, Ja Rule, the rise of Cash Money and No limit all in my opinion all added to the decline of content and the rise of this flashy hip hop we see everywhere. I'm not about to bash on all hip hop that's out now, because there are some really talented artists out. But what has changed is the climate of hip hop and how artists is only as hot as their next big single, and how many fans follow them on twitter. New artists today don't even last past 2-3 years. which isn't the fault of the artist, or the fan, it's just the speed of the internet and our new attention spans.

Ill dig through my subscribed threads and see if I can find it. Dog, I was offended and I'm white.

 

[I'm THAT guy...]

i miss the 90's.......but since i wasn't old enough to buy tapes i had to ask my granddad to buy them. I remember the first tape i bought was 3X Krazy "Stacking Chips"........that's back when you could actually understand what the fuck Keek Da Sneak was saying.

 

[gibbsboy]

yup...born in 80...these cats never experienced having to HIDE tapes from your parents...Hip Hop was the dirty little secret..in LA we used to listen to 1580 KDAY...and Tape songs off the radio. Aww damn... Moms found the ICE CUBE Amerikkkas most wanted...and played it for the family talking about...IS THIS WHAT U LISTEN TO??? LOL i got in trouble. When u saw a 5.0 in the hood you were really scared...cuz some Jheri Curled dude was driving it...and mean mugging everybody! So when Snoop came out...i mean he is all loveable now...but he was HARD..and u liked the music...but that was real GANG BANG stuff. Luke was rocking the parties...jr high dances oh snaps....Radio was playing Madonna and all kinds of dance music...so hip hop had to go dance...C & C music factory....marky mark...man it was a wild ride...thats why i love this shit!!! I can go on and on and on!
