This is a great breakdown of hip hop in 99. He didn't just focus on the big names but the entire landscape of hip hop. Every region East& west coast, and the south top to bottom.
96 was the best year in hip hop you had Pac, Biggie, Nas, Mobb Deep and Jay Z with all great music even if there was tension 96 was it hip hop at its highest level
@@MikeLARRY-rp4ml 96 we had Pac, Big, Nas, Jay Z, Mobb Deep, Big L, Big Pun, Redman, Method the Chef all putting out classic Verses also Outcast get an honorable mention 96 was it 🔥 2003 or 2004 what you talking about 50 cent, Eminem, Luda, Nelly, TI, Lil Wayne Nas & Jay Z yeah that’s all great but 96 was it people still taking about Pac, Big, Big Pun Big L talking about classic albums and Verses
Loving this series even though 1999 was probably my least favorite year of the 90’s. It might be due to my age though. I’ve been a Hip-Hop head since the mid-80’s, so by 1999 a lot of my favs had already peaked, broke up or completely disappeared by then. Keep doing your thing though. Can’t wait for the next one ✌️
Yo! I was so excited to see this video!1999 was in fact the BEST year in not only hip hop but the entire music and entertainment industry. Everyone mustve thought the world was gonna end so it seemed like every artist was just dropping their best music lol however i wonder what video ideas you have in mind for the future because NO other year was more profitable for the industry than 1999
I'm starting to be convinced that every year was the best year for hip-hop until the 2010s, each year I say hell yeah classic year for different reasons than before. Just proves that if you do it right all of it is memorable. For me it only goes down after Soulja Boy enters and I still like the period but its the first year that I feel like I could do this myself and I think a lot of people today made that switch around the same time
Gratitude for sharing. 1999 was an interesting year in general not just for music. Things Fall Apart, Black on Both Sides ,I Am, Thugged Out, The Art of Story Telling, Beneath The Surface, Murdah Muzik, Blackout, N****a Please, Uncontrolled Substance, Internal Affairs and Full Clip and Still I Rise, are stellar albums to me. That Missy, Eve And DMX were cool. Some underground classics dropped that year as well i.e MF DOOM and Living Legends(UHB lV). The Grouch. CMA (The Grouch and PSC) Nas 's I Am... was supposed to be a double album called I Am… The Autobiography. I swear That ODB song Recognize has the same production as Jay Z's Give It To Me. That Raekwon song ft Masta Killa is a classic. U God Pleasure and Pain is a classic.Mac Dre Fish Head Stew is a classic. Kuruot I Call Shots is a classic too. I know its not cool to commit domestic violence or make songs about killing your child's mother or father, however I cant lie that Eminem song 97 Bonnie and Clyde was heavy. I just recalled that Jill Scott wrote that You Got Me song which featured Eve and I think it won a Grammy.
Regardless of what others may think, I will always give credit and respect to EMINEM for shattering the 'Vanilla Ice' curse for good. After him there was/is no excuse for a white rapper to be corny. Plus, he didn't try to be something he wasn't to fit in.
I came in with perfect timing 99 was the year i got into hip hop that summer i went on a napster bindge downloading everything and burning my own mixtapes back when the internet speed was 56k modem standard it took a whole hour to wait for one song these kids dont know about that. Then My parents bought me the chronic 2001 bro 2pac greatest hits, All the way until that Christmas i got my firsts pac album all eyes on me
Great video and 99 was one of my favorite years in general... I started rapping that year myself lol... So many great albums and thank you for including Harlem world the movement I feel like people forgot about that album
Even though Rapper’s Delight was arguably the biggest impact ever made on rap/hip-hop music, it’s easy to forget that the realest rappers in NYC didn’t think much of it during its time. The lyrics and music wasn’t even original. It’s funny when I think about it, because I’m always about originality and never copying the next person. But since Rapper’s Delight, it has been the same successful trend in this genre that I both love and hate. Is what it is. But real recognize real. Oh, and SB2 is the greatest mixtape EVER MADE. Made the greatest DJs on the planet.
@@jlamedia744 yeah I agree that too!!! The mainstream was doing hip hop wrong for a long time especially some of those awards shows…I told someone hip hop didn’t get fully expected until MTV TRL and VH1 was pushing and marketing Eminem with ppl like Brittany Spears, *NSYNC , Back street boys. No one was ever marketed like him ever in hip hop and it’s not even close… They only promoted all the drama with blk artists it’s almost they liked the negativity.
99 holds a special place for me cuz it was my graduating year, but looking back it was pretty mid sadly. Only standout album was chopper city in the ghetto imo
Peace to The class of 1999. Alot of Fam graduated that year and I'm grateful they invited me to their Graduation Party at the Holiday in San Fran. I was in the 10th grade and connected with a cool young lady who is in the class of 1999.
You Always On Point Beloved. Good Looking On Mac Dre Album. But,U Going To Have Listen 2 Guy. This One Was Tight. Had Gang Of Major Niggas On This One. I don’t think would be disappointed
Thank you fam. I'm gonna have to give him more of a try I h haven't listened to much of his music but I have a few friends who love it so I'mma check him out.

I answered this on a reaction video. No it wasn’t. 94-96 were way better years. 94 In the 90s alone was the best. 99 was the worst. It was so bad that 2000-2003 was better than 99.
99 was a good year IMO and some solid albums dropped (Mobb, The Roots, Gza, Dre's 2001) but it's not the best year nor even top 5 in the 90s (93,94,95,96 and 98 were better). The whole 90s pretty much were nice though but they started to tail off at the end. Some of these albums are some of the artists worst as well IMO from Nas (Nastradamus) to Goodie Mob (World Party), Ol Diry N&*ga Please and a few more, some very average albums by great artists in 99. Ma$e double up album sucked as well and a few others, just some serious misses that year. Noreaga's Melvin Flynt also was not near his debut album.
The Korg Trinity or Triton sound is what has aged the most poorly in all of Rap's history. No Limit sound too. 99 was THE worst year in 90s Rap by far. It got crushed by 2001 that November to close the 90s on a "good" note.
Great work bro but I think you got something wrong on the roots song you got me. I believe that’s Jill Scott on the hook and female rap verse badu was just in the video.
I don't even have to watch and I can say no. The Golden Age of hip hop was 1987--1997. No other year outside of those years can beat any of those years. That's blasphemy.
1 thing I'm not gonna do is argue against your point because I can't lol but some people do think it is it varies by region and age. It's all subjective and a good conversation piece especially if you have people with a little age difference it's crazy how much a 3 year age difference can change your opinion
Well u missed all the bay area rappers who was doing there independent thing just like e-40 and short but that would need a whole video in itself. Im sure u missed out 3-6 mafia sippin on syrup album i remember it came out the same year as nas i am cuz i found that cd for free that year and i also found the 3-6 mafia syrup album i was a kid like 12 thought it was trash back then and handed it to my cousin cuz it wasent bay area stuff. I remember to this day thats how i got introduced to nas by jacking his cd laying around at my families cabin in the boonies.
I got e40 and short in it wouldn't be right to not include them they're too important. You have a good story for your beginning into rap. It's interesting hearing it come from someone a few years younger than me.
@@dredocs yea yea definitely right on bro. respectfully. Yea born in 87 for the timeline think u already figured that out roughly make u born in 85 like my brother. So my brother basically introduced me to rap being older by 2 years he had the greatest hits by pac so he put me on to great stuff and ill never forget my cousin in 93 with the thuggish ruggish bone came out being a kid at 6 my earliest memeory of rap right there is him singing the hook it was so u unique and i couldnt understand a word but still so captivating the beat n everything. Thats just rap my whole life is a story, could be in a book or podcast interview. Why u was thinking of getting into it in the future. One luv ur a good dude for your time. Real recognize real. Im from the bay would love to see a video on that i could send u a list on the best year we had with one google search, cuz it was a different independent huslte that breads its own style aww see cuz u forgot cbos mob figaz right there it went ghetto gold in 99 which birthed the jacka who became as big as mac dre
Murder Muzik favorite from Mobb? IDK.. Hell on earth and Infamy hit hard too! Take away quiet storm from that project and its not as heavy in comparison.
@@jordanflores5687 hell on earth & infamy you can play from start to finish with only a couple skips, production top tier, and fire features from Meth, Nas, 112. Hell on earth was mobb at its best! Trying to not only compete with NY rap, but PAC coming at them too
You're 10000% right on that but you have to include it in the full story. I'd show love to the albums that didn't sell as much too those usually are the best albums. I didn't like quite a few albums I had to talk about.

You trippin.. I'm goin out, where ya heart at, the realest, it's mine, and both quiet storms that albums a banger
@@jordanflores5687 hell on earth & infamy you can play from start to finish with only a couple skips, production top tier, and fire features from Meth, Nas, 112. Hell on earth was mobb at its best! Trying to not only compete with NY rap, but PAC coming at them too
@@robrico129 I didn't say those sucked those are bangers too infamous still my favorite tho but hell on earth a close 2nd
8:07 Down Bottom* (pause)

Jay z may be the most overrated artist of all time, behind the Beatles
Gospel right there !!! Gospel
I like the breakdown. Not hating but the charts don't make the music good. Q tip fell off too
You're 10000% right on that but you have to include it in the full story. I'd show love to the albums that didn't sell as much too those usually are the best albums. I didn't like quite a few albums I had to talk about.
No
NORE and Diddy suck. Jay z sucks too
87 88 two greatest years
No.
