Kasun Madhusanka ikr late 90s hip hop was still competitive I know shiny suit kinda dumb it down a little but there was a lot of ill MCs at that time mainstream and underground.
If u think about it he still is I ain’t never heard nobody playing fif and walking away without it being a issue today a fact 50 is the last bully of the game they don’t make mfs like him anymore it’s a bunch of soft sh****t going on now
You could really feel that 50 is on some hardcore shit on the first verse. Kid Capri in my eyes saw that 50 was on some other shit. He killed it. Listen to it on some weed and alcohol. Gives me chilles
What about 50 still sounding like a baby before he got shot and then the other dude who had a lisp. The only one that sounded the clearest was the Hispanic guy NORE lol
Punchline destroying the cipher but being the least known epitomizes the late 90s and the turning point for rap. Punchline, Wordsworth, Last Emperor, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and a gang of other MCs were victims of the time period - and that's just Rawkus records artists
Yep. That was the era when hip hop was shifting to the more commercial sound where cats were rapping about expensive champagne, jewelry, going platinum in sales, and getting money. A lotta cats were dumbing down the lyricism for more dollars. The new cats of that era who stayed true to the art were not getting that push and recognition that they would've gotten had they came out in the late '80s or early half of the '90s. You named some heavy spitters and all of them are only known to the hip hop heads who were about the real back in that era.
