Who Was The MVP of 1994

[ChillaDaKilla]

Truthfully, I was all the way on the East Coast.

We didn't listen to Snoop at all. In fact, we didn't even listen to Biggie, we thought he was commercial.

I was a backpacker, I avoided everything commercial. I can remember chillin with my homies smoking weed and watching videos and a West Coast video came on (don't remember who). Whoever it was had jheri curls and was riding in a low rider, it was a typical G-Funk beat. We started laughing at him. Then the video for It Ain't Hard To Tell came on and we were silent for the whole video. Thats one of those moments thats stuck in my head.

There was a 6 month span where the only thing I listened to was Illmatic, Midnight Marauders, Enter The Wu:36 Chambers, Hard to Earn and The Sun Rises In The East.

Bruh there was a lot of weird shit y'all did in your hood in Boston

nas had the best critically acclaimed album, but that shit took two years just to hit gold, and didnt hit plat till 2001, and only sold 59k albums its first week, thank god niggas couldnt download songs back then or it might of gone wood Triple Cs style.

Snoop sold 800k+ it was a classic, it was the fastest-selling hip hop album ever at the time, had hit singles, shit was banging

Niggas seem to forget about the grand scheme....When you turned on MTV you saw Snoop, heard Snoop on Hot 97 during the day and mix shows{some wont believe that} and other Top 40 radio stations...This shyt is tough tho, because after a few months into the year it was more about Biggie being all over TV and Radio and Wu was close....Nas was always in rotation, but not on the scale of the others...Torn between Snoop and Big, but going with .....

I mean me and my friends.

I don't know if you've ever been to Boston but its kinda backwards. There's alot of colleges and Universities and alot of intellectuals. Some people in Boston tend to intellectualize music so people like Snoop or Master P get hated on but only on the colleges & universities side of town

colleges & universities side of Boston were more likely to listen to Jeru The Damaja or Gang Starr over Snoop or Master P.

fixed

were part of boston or mass u from? cause we stayed bumping biggie, nas & wu in the hood

36 chambers was the first album that blew my mind as to what hip hop was and I never knew who big was at that age, snoop a close second though

and snoops album wasnt bootlegged? this has got to be the shittest reason ever

 

[lordstanley]

I heard the radio-friendly version of "Pour Out a Little Liquor" the other day and the Spice 1 ("My cousin died last year and I still can't let go") sample is missing from it.

So how the fuck is Snoop Doggy Dogg winning if Doggystyle dropped 1993? Shaking My Head

Cause it came out in late November '93 and was still rocking into '94.

You mad As fuck

I ain't saying it is an excuse, cuz everybody got bootlegged back then, even Snoop.

Bruh I was only 4-5 in 1994 and I can tell you you lying if you said you didn't jam Snoop and Big. Every nigga I ever met no matter where they was from from that time period has Doggystyle and Ready To Die memorized word for word bruh. I have never met a nigga from that generation who didn't jam them niggas.

I was 9, but it feels like he was every where

 

[king hassan]

How many of you niggas wad old enough in 94?

I was 14

 

[Logical Truths]

Illmatic was a better album than Doggystyle but Snoop had way better singles and commercial appeal. Death row had shit on lock.
