this ain’t really hip-hop but r&b

danny boy never got the shine he deserved, jodeci fw death row back in the day and he could’ve been as big as them

his album would’ve been a classic

devante and k-ci (?) with suge knight

there’s this crazy ass LSA thread where it’s sharing a lot of the old school drama on death row from the 90s

idk how substantial it is but i’ve seen some of these before mentioned on other places but it’s interesting to read because with the chaos with the ppl in 90s hip-hop, some is prolly true, a lot of wild s*** went down without social media

the original version of late night with AMG and DJ quik on it

one of my fav pac songs

it also has a different synth lead in the BG i think compared to the released version that came out on better dayz and the chronic 2000 comp

@Bill_My_Zoot

Look up Scrill Hassan

this is apparently a unreleased instrumental from daz that was made for kurupt

this s*** hard asf

i wish there was a sub-genre of rappers that would do a revival of 90s “advanced” boom-bap

the current boombap revival s*** sounds like it’s imitating 80s stuff with stiff drums

90s hip-hop production felt a bit more advanced, in the vein of RZA and daz

damn remember when i could make threads? good times.

Not really rare but still fire af

this thread a classic

Bump

damn, wish i could still make threads

QD III production so underrated

cali life style doesnt get mentioned enough imo, they really made some of the smoothest g funk ever

re-upped the link since the original link i posted got removed.

beat is too amazing.

synth lead is so good

Eazy E lowkey might've had the greatest eye for talent in rap history. The amount of legends he brought into the game is insane for such a short time. RIP
