Now THAT'S what's up :)

Bone Thugs was in heavy rotation on my player. Creepin On Ah Come Up is on par with Jar Of Flies as a genre defining EP.

@Jabberwocky im thrilled ty . u cannot get any better than Treach haha (for me was always better than Pac)

 

No sweat. You're into hip hop so we're gonna get along juuust fine.

I know exactly what you mean. NY was all about the boom bap sound. IMO Tretch and Latifa had a very similar flow, delivery, and aggression. The reasons I like Pac is he was a storyteller (like the late King Von was) and painted such a mental picture. The way he'd stretch out phrasing and how he used multiple vocal tracks. He could go from sounding like haunting to chill to a straight killa.

This is my favorite 2Pac deep track "Lord Knows"

It's  SO nice to meet you. well im bloody British :lol:okay so you'll forgive me of my little knowledge , it is little , its what i remember from YOMTV rap knowledge haha   from a childhood perspective so , haha ....it  really  does lack after 1996.!

(but...i  can appreciate DMX and MOP...)

I remember Onyx made a come back in 2002...(Loved BacDaFucUp back in the day !)  but it was never quite the same....

I would go with male voices apposed to the ladies :lol: (You are right i loved the East side i guess. )..Having said that .....i did find  Queen latifah early ,  Da Brat and  later, Eve....and i Do like Gym Class heros i do like Travie's smooth flow. i .. I guess the gangsta rap died with Pac.  i  was really , really  into Gangsta and (some G funk era ) back as a kid . I love Bone absolutely.

  You are again very  right with the flow and i was attracted to their pain , the aggression. 

I do like a couple ...

 

I really liked Kadafi delivery  in this. I really hope we can reminisce and maybe i can make you laugh with my lack of knowledge haha

Well bloody British, I am a bloody Southern Boi :lol: Nice to meet ya as well.  Just for the fact you're here and didn't do this :rolleyes: when I mentioned rap makes you aight in my book.  Well my rock knowledge ended in 1996 (well 99) as well so I guess that makes us even.:P Tell ya what. You educate me on the new rock shit and I'll do the same for hip hop.  We'll both reminisce and maybe make each other Ell Oh Ell :awesomeface:

The old G-Funk gansta rap pretty much did die with Pac and Biggie. I can see why. But gangsta rap isn't even called that anymore. "Drill" as they call it. Actually it started over where your at until it came over to Chicago and New York and was "Americanized" for lack of a better word. Drill rappers almost always seem to be gang bangers and are legit about "that life"

This video (further example of Drill) was a viral hit but it's really fucked up. Naming dead rival gang members and VERY much taunting. Like self-snitching sometimes. Takes diss tracks and rap beefs to a whole other level.
