@sospecialkayofficial that whole style is tragedy gaddafis... they both took it and made it their own but tragedy is the foundation for a lot of these NY cats... much love to the gods tho NORE, Nas and Tragedy
back in the day. a freestyle like this was like a rights of passage. you're bars had to be on point. it is just sad what the industry has become. everyone is a rapper now without perfecting their craft or with the talent
FR. Crazy. But that's cause hip hop got so big that the fake hip hop fans non black dudes...they push these whack dudes to the forefront unfortunately. Then we jump on it too. Instead if giving pushback like no, this dude or broad is whack...this 1 can't flow on beat for sh*t....this 1 can't rhyme At All, etc. We just need to take back the culture. It is what it is.
Thats why I always been a fan of the early rap. Its what molded me and taught me how to get my raps down and ready to bring it when someone asked. Today the industry is what it is an industry but would I love to bring this energy back into modern times heaven yea. Thats why I do what I do.

Kasun Madhusanka ikr late 90s hip hop was still competitive I know shiny suit kinda dumb it down a little but there was a lot of ill MCs at that time mainstream and underground.
If u think about it he still is I ain’t never heard nobody playing fif and walking away without it being a issue today a fact 50 is the last bully of the game they don’t make mfs like him anymore it’s a bunch of soft sh****t going on now
You could really feel that 50 is on some hardcore shit on the first verse. Kid Capri in my eyes saw that 50 was on some other shit. He killed it. Listen to it on some weed and alcohol. Gives me chilles
What about 50 still sounding like a baby before he got shot and then the other dude who had a lisp. The only one that sounded the clearest was the Hispanic guy NORE lol
Punchline destroying the cipher but being the least known epitomizes the late 90s and the turning point for rap. Punchline, Wordsworth, Last Emperor, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and a gang of other MCs were victims of the time period - and that's just Rawkus records artists
Yep. That was the era when hip hop was shifting to the more commercial sound where cats were rapping about expensive champagne, jewelry, going platinum in sales, and getting money. A lotta cats were dumbing down the lyricism for more dollars. The new cats of that era who stayed true to the art were not getting that push and recognition that they would've gotten had they came out in the late '80s or early half of the '90s. You named some heavy spitters and all of them are only known to the hip hop heads who were about the real back in that era.
Consequence flow went over y’all heads so far son said all of my days I keep changing faces/ the group and song called all of my days by changing faces/ change faces like money bars 🔥
Yeah this was old 50. He was nice back then, and he actually put time and thought into his lyrics. He was a young and bold MC.........He dont rap like that no more tho....
I remember this shit yo I had this All Eyes On Hiphop VHS in like 98/99 it also had Ali Vegas & Half-A-Mil, Nature in QB w/ the Wild Gremlins, and I think Jay-Z & Akinyele performing In Connecticut.
