The Source Awards 1995 [Full]

[CirocObama]

It's good people are re watching. Suge then snoop started that shit, before then it was tension but the crowd was showing love. Dre got louder cheers than Biggie at that time, Nas also.

Not true. Even people that were there will tell you different. People would even yell out shit to all the non-east dudes during the breaks.

Powerful Post. Thanks OP

 

[rapmastermind]

One of the greatest shows in Rap History. Biggie basically was crowned that night.

 

[bkzlostchild]

I wish the Source release the whole award show on DVD soon. Whoever upload these missing alot of parts like Death Row performance, Outkast getting their award, etc

Hopefully someone who have the whole thing on tape could upload it

Would the Source Awards be regarded as the Grammy's of Hip Hop, if around today?

I wanted to ask this when the MTV Hottest Mc list was getting its hate.

 

[TheBossman]

some things about that show,

more blame should of been on upn (i think that's the station that broadcasted it) for not editing out all the east coast/west coast shit talk.

im sure if you asked snoop if he regrets what he said at that awards he would wish he never said that.

i forgot how big craig mack was at this point in the 90's. he fell off mad quick.

badboy had the better label when it came too all the different talent they had. but aftermath had the "big 3" tho...

Good Drop! Damn WuTang and Biggie click was deep as fuck. LMAO @ Craig Mack saying he would be around next year and the year after that

Did you watch the footage? Do you mean rivals were yelling shit at each other? Why would the audience hate the West coast acts who were all over tv? The south they just didn't give a shit about because they didn't get burn.

That award was teh Craig Mack and Dr. Dre show but as rapmastermind said, Biggie was crowd that night(thanks to Death row).

No, people in the crowd would yell shit like "fuck the west coast" and things like that. That's why you saw a few artist get up and yell "Eastcoooooast" (ie. Craig Mack) or some shit during their acceptance speeches. That only kept the crowd going and kept the divide stronger when the artists did that.

They did it in 1994, they did it to NWA years prior. You gotta understand that alot of people had the mentality of, "we started hip-hop so it belongs to us and/or should sound like the way it sounds when we did it" mentality. So that's why they disliked alot of acts who didn't do that or fit that mode. So when they were yelling "eeeeastcoaast" and all that it was like saying "eastcoaaast hip-hop/we started this shit" or whatever. They always felt that west coast were rapping about dumb shit that applied to the pop audience, which is ironic now cuz we look back at it and call it classic music.

 

[stupot0607]

Man.... Respect to RZA, Wu Tang and Dr.Dre & Ed Lover for at least trying to keep it positive...

I got a urge to watch Jumanji haha, think the last time i saw that film was 1995.

 

[stupot0607]

& LOL at Craig Mack "every year after that".....

Seem like Craig yelled Eastcoast after the Snoop thing. Its been a minute since originally seeing it but this video kind of show that.

The rest of what you're saying is half truths, because if it was so much animosity from the jump why did Cube go out East?

 

[5th Letter]

plus big and ghostface/raekwon had issues too. a whole lot of tension in that building.
