The samples East Coast producers selected in the 90's were beautiful but gloomy at the same time. I think the beats were their interpolations of what was going on in the streets. Cause they were serious in the 90's.
@RDoubt96 when I started listening to East Coast 90's HH, and I hardly understood the lyrics (I'm Spanish), I thought they were talking something gangsta, hard, even when they were calm, just for the sound. I remember that specially listening to The Awakening by Lord Finesse. But I thought that was for the East Coast-West Coast feud. Then you read the lyrics and there's nothing of that. In fact, Finesse loves the West and always worked with them (Ice-T, Dr. Dre). I was noob.
hiphop aint trash but close in 2011. the large number of quality producers and groups in hiphop that emerged in the 90s was also intertwined with the political nature of the world, social/cultural developments,. those of us who were teenagers at the time will be lucky to say that we we experiencing carefree youthful times accompanied by a soundtrack , in this case, of a more honest and less commercial delivery of expression within the hiphop genre..
@TackyD Actually i had a taste of the late 90s . You should check out pac div , u-n-i , ugly duckling , das racist , chip tha ripper , cool kids , curren$y , blu , sage francis , mighty underdogs, theory hazit , asher roth , N.A.S.A. , Anti-pop consortium , Handsome boy modeling school , Brother Ali , Lyrics Born , Mac miller , kid koala . The list goes on , im still sleepin on a few for sure.
@TackyD And that does not mean i dont listen \ know or enjoy oldschool , i love it . I just think it's a lil too fatalist to say hip hop is dead and its not the right attitude to have if you want to keep it live.
Ok, I see where you're coming from. Good List and it's lengthy, I respect that and the fact that you didn't just throw out just a few and the relatively known ones.
@TackyD You are so right. De La Soul, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Das EFX, Tribe, Craig Mack, Souls Of Mischief, LL, EPMD,.............I'm just gonna stop cuz I could go on for days. The early 90's was all about the art of storytelling and smooth laid back beats and it still appeared poor yet it was artistic. Everyone had their own style. Now the whole mainstream strives to sound the same and rap about the same crap...money,hoes,guns,clubs,rims, or some wack ass dance that they made up last night.
I grew up in that era and all I'm hearing is dope stuff coming out. There is a LOT of good Hip Hop out there, you just have to find it (and turn off the radio and TV) =)
@TackyD lari is right to extent. there is a lot underground artists that are keeping it real. But nothing beats the golden era. De la soul is still touring. Common is still touring. they just as well known as they used to. But the mainstream now a days is horrible
@TackyD Dude search up some australian hiphop. They are old school relived. At least some of em are... Chech out Low Budget. Hip Hop these days isn't trash. Thing is.. only hiphop u hear these days is mainstream hiphop which usually is CRAP.

This track is soooo ........f--cking HOT. I luv De La Soul and Common. So jazz like and mellow smooth. and I love their music Tribe call Quest The roots, my kinda shit. 4-sho
This is one of my favorite remixes from the Vinyl Reanimators who are legendary for the remix; based in Boston. To boot, this is one of your personal favorite groups. Man, I used to walk the streets of NYC in '96 listening to this on my walkman. The message and the beat was food for me while strugglin' in 'the Rotten Apple.' It's amazing how a song can uplift your spirits... Enjoy.
Wow, great rmx of the original. It makes me think back to my youthful days living in NorthWest DC!!!! I miss this vibe of hip hop so much!!!Great remix!
i used to love her but now i bone her at one point in rhyme i thought i lost my erection but now i got it back with that ressurection. holy shit com is a beast
They different... The original fits more with a very-skilled-MCs song like that... more raw, you know what I mean?... and this remix has an amazing beat, fabolous... They for different moments, I think
I used to love her but now i bone her
