DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
What ya'll think of the 90-92 rap era? (88 EC golden age, 93-96 WC golden age)

Yeah the album was so close to being classic... I'll admit his style was a bit rough for me in those days... I needed something a bit more polished... but I do remember him... especially with the second album when his video for "What U See is What U Get" was like the #1 video on BET he definitely had my ear—but again it was just slightly rough to my ears.. I was more used to laid back vibes like Snoop or Warren G back in those days.... but once Dre publicly co-signed onto X and he appeared on "Bitch Please" that brought the West back and it was at that point Spring 99 that I finally went out and bought the first two Xzibit albums and he's been top #5 all time for me since

Yeah the more I dig into it this era was spectacular—I'm finding new gems 💎 everyday like last week I caught up to an F Gary Gray directed WC and Maad Circle video that features Coolio before he had the braids—and you can see why the dude got a big solo deal and push because his charisma is thru the roof; but he didn't have the superstar look yet—he just looks like one of WC's homies but somebody at the label knew what they were doin' obviously signing this dude solo
He's sparin' bar for bar with WC and steals the show, I'm willing to bet that's the video that got him signed

Yeah... it's one of the greatest 3 album runs in history but not the all-time greatest. At the Speed of Light was like 4 mics (near classic) and 40 Days and 40 Nightz was 4 and a half mics (near classic) and Restless was 5 mics (classic thx to Dre assist).
Eminem ran off three 5 Mic Classics to Open his Career:
Slim Shady LP
MMLP
The Eminem Show
Then the Greatest 3 Album Run of All-Rhyme is 2pac's three album run which nobody will ever match unless they can go to prison with the #1 album on the charts, then rule the world and destroy the East Coast with All Eyez On Me, and then speak from the grave with 7 Day Theory:
Me Against the World
All Eyez On Me
7 Day Theory
Honorable Mention:
Chronic
2001
Compton
Stillmatic
God's Son
Hip-Hop Is Dead
