Was watching those classic Fab 5 Freddy 1990's hip-hop and I have a few observations from that era.  This was the era just after that 88' era in which Rakim and Kane took the game next level and everyone was going bananas over the shit they were doing.  Then just before the West Coast Death Row era dominated the 93-96 rap golden age.  What do ya'll think of that era... a few notes..

--It was really positive then even to the point of being corny.  I mean a lot of that positive shit is really just propaganda anyway.  Like being positive in today's time means encouraging everyone to "be safe" and "take the vaxxine" so it's all just sucker shit.

--There was a lot of average to dope shit in this era but not the bomb shit.  Like NWA of course was bringing the bomb shit, but I'm talking the majority to nearly all was just like average to dope.  But not much bomb

--The acts that really blew up the 1988 golden era were still around and making noise.  LL and Kane started doing like upbeat type dance and music for the ladies.  It was still kind of dope because they weren't far from their prime but it wasn't exactly bomb shit.  KRS was still in the limelight off the noise he had made late 80's and was doing some dope stuff but it wasn't exactly the bomb shit.  But these was the type of heads in control.  They were intellgent cats but hip-hop had became a bit too nice.

--People actually believed rap was a fad that was going away at the time.  I mean obviously in hip-hop circles they still lived and breathed the shit but I mean in general there was thought that it was a going away fad.

--So really it was Dre and NWA that saved the day.  Cause the shit Dre was doing with NWA and then you had DOC doing bomb shit.  And Cube leaving NWA and doing some bomb shit as well.  Like it all goes back to Dre.

Yeah I definitely like the era really enjoying thee old Fab 5 Freddy Yo episodes because it was that era I just barely missed by only 1 or two years later the Chronic dropped.  So I remember it like vaguely like a remember a friend of mine and I used to like shit like Young MC "Bust a Move" and "Principals Office" or like Wrex in Effect I had that tape... and that was kind of our idea of what rap was.   And we considered it mostly positive and kind of dance, have fun music but I was only 10 and I liked it but not way deep into it... 

Going back there's a ton of dope shit, like nearly every video is dope the culture was vibrant and alive— but not a lot of bomb shit (save for the NWA tree)
