The bad thing is that everybody  sounds the same.

[doggfather]

if they changed they cant sound the same.

not just flow, but the music.

they are grwoin up. their tste of music, their style grows up.

if anybody the same at his 40-50 as he/she was at 20s that aint too good IMO.

Nas lost his timing a bit after Illmatic, but he's got it back recently.  He hasn't changed much.

I don't want rappers to change.  Find new ways to make music while staying true to yourself.

93 99

93-96

…there’s a classic Pac interview with Sway before he died where Sway says “you’re beef with Biggie is like who gonna rule the nicca kingdom… it’s like an election” Pac replied emphatically — “it is that!”

So, the post you quoted said 91-96 and then you said 93-98.  There was so much great music in 97 and 98 I think the only problem was the leadership was missing.  I feel like hiphop always had great leadership going back to Melle Mell and then KRS and Rakim and you could argue Dre/NWA/Cube were kind of the leaders until Snoop took over from 93-95 and then in 96 Pac took over.

Pac getting murdered fucced up the leadership in hiphop and snoop couldnt pick it up with Doggfather being a brick (I know in retrospect many love it I’m talkin bout when it dropped) so leadership was fucced up in 97’ 98 you had folks like Puffy, Master P, DMX, Jay-Z, Mase, even Ja Rule trying to wear the crown and it just wasn’t the same with them on top

The world and the culture is in a worse place than it was in 96’ so you have a choice to stay true or sell out
