      @Frank Lopez incorrect! 94/95 were great years in Hip-hop for sure. Not the best in history! No. The 2000s were also great years in Hip-hop. It hasn't been until the last 12 to 10 years when Trap, Drill, and southern rap has been pushed to the forefront, were the Hip-hop lost it's culturally value.

    • @Black_2_Def
      @Black_2_Def 2 года назад

      @Frank Lopez Again incorrect! From 1988-1999 was the golden era of Hip-hop culture. That was the strongest period in the culture. The 2000s were great as well. Hip-hop gained more commercial success and recognition, but Nas, Jay-Z, 50 cent, Dip set, State property, Eminem, Luda, T.I, Lil Wayne ect all peeked after 2000.

      @Frank Lopez Just because they're "trash" to you! Does not mean they're "Trash" to someone else🙄 that's your opinion fella, not a fact! Just like 94/95 is your opinion and not a fact!
      Jay-Z, Dr Dre and Snoop Dog are very popular and commercially successful 👍🏾 does that make them trash?
      And I never said Eminem or cam,ron were the "best of the best" 🤔 But, to their fans they're the "best of the best" who are you to say otherwise?

    One of my all time favorites.
    Partly because one of my friends used it for his skate part in the early 2000s.
    He gave preemo and guru their credits and ofcourse and didn't pay for the song but no money was made.
    It was just a local video.
    I still skate to this now and again and it never gets old.
    It's actually better now that I'm older.
