      It had it's share of problems, but human brain is built so that it tends to forget all the negative things. For example, in the 90's the world suffered its worst depression. Many people lost their jobs, their homes and their marriages. People were involved in debts and suicide rates were at all time high. Crime waves sweeped accross the world. There were several genocides committed all around the world. Bullyting wasn't a regognized problem yet in schools or in work places. Women (and men) got sexually harassed on a daily basis. Gays/trans etc. were still treated as a sickness and AIDS killed you within a year or max two.

Regardless, when someone looks upon any period of time fondly, try not to rob them of that. Some people falling on hard times right now need all the positive memories they can get.

I naturally was around lots of Hip Hop in the 90's but once Nirvana's Nevermind came out I got into Rock then into punk rock, heavy metal, GO GO (DC music!), Blues, Jazz and for Country some Johnny Ca$h. As long as the music sounds good I like it whether it's popular or not. I grew my hair out long, wore my favorite rock band t shirts and also naturally had an Urban ebonic talking side to me while not sounding overly Urban to the point of not being able to understand what the hell I was saying 😂 I also love Hardcore music like Madball, Agnostic Front, Cro Mags, Bad Brains (are considered punk rock, reggae and Hardcore which is what made them so special other than the fact they were 4 black dudes from DC that wore long dreadlocks like Rastafarians but played some of the most manic and aggressive punk rock you could ever hear back in the 80's!).

      +Lil Rob AkA Robert It's been about hoes guns and drugs even in the golden age. Biggie did it. Pac did it. Quest did it. Mobb Deep did it. Pete Rock even did it at times. Plus currently, we have had great rappers, in many different ways, both dead and alive. Big Pun? Kendrick? Vince Staples? RTJ? That's just to name a few from the past 16 years that are more well known, there are plenty of other less known artists, even ones that aren't fully underground .
