Man, I really love 90s East Coast hip hop....the jazz influences, the snare and bass drum kicking, that boom bap feel, the sampling, and the raw and witty lyrics. Damn, what an era!

Underground? Lol... If the op was underground who the fuck was mainstream? That was hip hop... All them cats was on hot 97 in the middle of the day and on every hip hop video show...

most of them didn't really blow up yet

 

[Meta_Conscious]

man the landscape was mad different... calling some of these cats underground is inaccurate... I lived it so my view is skewed I suppose...

Yo, anyone know why hip hop sounded so dark during the mid-90s. Just listened to the Goodfellaz album by Showbiz&AG, and god damn, that was some grimey stuff. Seems like so many East Coast albums during that period kept to that dark, gritty, sparse shit. Why?

DOOOPPPEEEEE!!!!!
