It's interesting to see the nostalgia and acclaim the group receives in retrospect; at the time, they were controversial, immoral, and divisive. The group's music was mercilessly lowbrow, but absurdist, artful, and hilarious.They were a true grassroots movement, perhaps the last New York has seen. The crew's success was built on a combination of mixtape grind, hit singles, street DVDs, and a unique aesthetic vision. Coming up at a time when Atlanta was ascendant, the crew managed to keep New York City a hub of street rap into the new decade.
They needed 10 pages to say they were innovative with their mixtapes and they were trendsetters with their fashion? Usually these complex list are dope but this one was a stretch.
All I remember is Jim Jones and True Religions. I guess they share same fate cause no one checks for them now.
Never checked any Dipset music... Any recommendations?
