do you think rap will ever see another era like it did from 92-96. It seems like every album was near classic 2 classic. from east to west 2 down south. It was like every1 had suptin to prove about there coast. Tha west had to prove that they were no fluke an there rap scene was real. Tha east had to prove that they werent dead an they were still runnin things an u had down south an tha mid-west sayin we got a rap scene he 2, we gotta prove we real an we can hang wit tha east an tha west. You think rap will ever see an era like this again.

Not in a milli0n years. This era was somthin special for rap, asyou said like every album was a banger, and if you look at todays shit you got alot of commercial stuff, and most of it is plain crap. Its all about the scrilla anyway, but back in the day it was about keepin it real..

^^gotta agree

I don't think there will ever be in an era in rap like this.
With albums like chronic, illmatic, ready 2 die, soul on ice, doggystyle, and i could list even more classic albums but i cant be fucked.

I feel the same way.

I dont think we ever gona see that type of music or competetion again...Everyone was representin so hard in that time, and everyone had something to prove to the world...Nowadays everyone knows who all the rappers are and everyone buys there cd's so they aint got shit to prove no more...and Bi-coastal beef has been thrown away also.
-
I don't think rap will ever be like that. Its sad, and except for a select few rappers it just gets worse and worse.
-
No!
stop livin from the past people

I feel blessed that this era was when i really got into hip hop.......it was incredible! I liked rap before this, but when The Chronic came out (i was only 13) was when i really, really got into rap. all the classic albums that followed, it was amazing. THere is still so much stuff from back then i gotta get into, because if you go back anbd listen to many albums from that era, they just sound so much better.
I think EFFORT, HUNGER, and more talent was involved. Nowadays, people seem to throw albums together very quickly, and just throw a couple guest appearances on there.....also, albums were a lot shorter back then, yet they were way more satisfying. I would rather have an album of 12 amazing tracks then a 20 tracks album with 2 amazing tracks and a couple good ones.........

There was one year before, 1988, the best year in rap history. Since then, I think 1999-2000 came close, as every good new act came out, J5, Eminem, Dilated Peoples, Common hit mainstream, Nas had I Am... but Nastradamus came out too soon, The Roots, Mos Def, Dead Prez, the resurrection of the west. Then it seemed like though in 2000 that the Bling Bling era overtook what was looking like a uprising of another great era. I think we could have another era that's as great, but it's what the people buy, they look on the shelf, and pick up Nelly as oppose to Mos Def, and that just says, when people are ready for another great era, young rappers well always be ready to provide it. Can't wait for the new WC, and Xzibit.

Yeah Good point, I forgot about that. Ever1 was reppin where they came from, but nowaydays, its very different. A good example is Dre, Im not sayin he isnt West Coast anymore, but he's fuckin with more East Coast cats than his West Coast people. Im not sayin this is wrong, just different.
This is another point, people collaborate much more nowaydays. everybody is on everybodys album, which wasnt in 93, 94, 95. They had their crew on their album, maybe one or 2 guests from different crews, but that was it. Today you got E-40 with fabolous, Nate Dogg with jermaine Dupri, Dj Quik with Mariah Carey, Dre with Eve, Snoop Dogg with Mobb Deep. Like I said, its all about the Scrilla.
-
i think everyone is trying to become commerical too much anymore and its ruining everything...there hasnt been many good albums out for years...seems that lately you have to have some bitch singing a hook for you to get any sales...i personally dont like the direction rap is heading
-
That was a one time deal. Rap has solidified itself as a legit music genre and has become too commercialized and marketable. So things will never be like they were during that time period.

yup, damn shame though
-
Too many fakers in da game. A few years ago there was nobody like nelly or shit. But nowadays every1 tries 2 make money by rappin like a bitch. Money destroys the game.

*sign*
"will rap to see an era like 92-96 again" :P
-
ima have to agree wit ya'll, and basically actually from 88-94, was the golden shit.....so far i dont really see the torch bein passed from rakim,nas,2pac,biggie to anybody else......you got ra comin out whos album is gonna be more anticipated more than anything hes been involved, pac is still releasin shit, and nas is at the top of tha game......when any of those cats spit they usually r comin real......for this generation, they switch thier flow or even what they rappin bout, just so the mainstream can like it......i wanna see them rap what they want to and what they know, and experiment if the mainstream is ready for that......thats why em has remained so successful, and thats why ra wit dre is bein this anticipated....basically cause he never sold out wit his lyrics, he just never really had this producin and market with the exception wit eric b
peace
-
yeah one in a life time moment, cause nowadays every new rapper ( some exceptions, fo sho... MS JADE ) gettin there doe by doing commercial shit, and the bandwagon goes on and on, only the true head can't save hip hop, nowadays u got to have minimum 3 bangers in your album to sell well
-
Rap will NEVER see an era exactly alike the 92-96 era...BUUUUUT, we might have two albums coming out extremely soon which will surpass every album made during the 92-96 era...Rakim - 'Oh My God' and Dr Dre - 'Detox'
PeAcE

No!
stop livin from the past people

I don't think it'll ever be as good. Shit out of my fave albums, almost all of them came from this era. Chronic, Doggystyle, 36 Chaimbers, Illmatic, Dogg Food, and the list goes on, and on. I started listening in 92 when the Chron dropped. I been a west coast fan ever since. Until we get another Pac and Big calibre rapper reppin each coast, it'll be hard for anything to match that era.
-
Sad But true...
We will never have another era like we did in the golden age of gangsta rap.......eva.
But it's funny to hear from tittie sucker's like 90'% of the people on here remenece like they wre part of this era....lol
Let's face it.....when it happened 90% of you were not part of it....lol
Just face it.
Let's face it.

LOL, some of these cats were 5 years old, or younger when the Chronic dropped. I'm 24, and I barely caught onto it.

there wont be nothing like that really,
like sikotic said, rap has commercialized more and more, and in the later years, it wil expand more commercially,
92-96 had the original death row
classic albums all over here and there
east coast with nas and wu tang
outkast coming with their classic albums
like doggy said, it is a shame how it has changed, the only way that it is good is that rap is spreading and becoming more popular, but then u get a lil tired of it, 92-96 was an era of classic albums, and classic rap music
myself, i was yougn at that time, i'm only 16 now, i can just say because of that music era, altho as i was kid, during that time, that rap was getting to me, either way, who knows whats gonna be next, its not gonna be a 92-96, with dre and rakim, some dopeness should come out, but rap will still be surrounded by new rappers commercializing
-
There were a lotta classic albums in that time period. I doubt if there will ever be as many QUALITY projects coming out like that era again.
-
its sad to say but rap will never see an era like 92-96 again.
-
nope as somebody said, rap is far to commercial these days so we will never see a period where a great deal of Classic albums are brough out cos they will always be followed by the ja rules and so forth.
-
92'-96' was my fav era for hip hop, with 94' being the greatest year hip hop will ever see [Illmatic, Ready To Die, Southernplayalistic, Doggystyle, Creepin on Ah Come Up, The Diary, the list goes on and on]. Words cant describe how great that 4 year period was. The artists who released all the great albums of that era are STILL trying to figure out how they did it. Seriously, it was a MINDBLOWING era not just for hip hop, but music in general. The albums that came out during that time period are just...........from another FUCKING PLANET.
