Doggystyle was mature musically. Still one of the all time albums for beats imo.
Oh yeah, NBN had a playfulness to them, but some of their beats were hard
Eminem...that's the thread

In that case you should delve into Bigg Jus's solo stuff including the two NMS albums he did with Orko eloheim/the sykotik alien

Bigg Jus solo and NMS stuff is dope. First few anyway. Sadly went a bit generic by the time he did Poor People's Day. No idea what happened really, lost all the Bigg Jusness

for my money no one was doing more original beats on an underground rap level in that time than el-p. im not a big fan of cannibal ox but beat-wise that album and fandam are a kind of peak of el-p's production post co-flow.

I like Bizarre's album "Hanni Cap Circus" a lot. I think Eminem says he got the Slim Shady style from Bizarre.

Nah he got it from cage (who dissed him for ripping him off) and the outsidaz
Qwerty i don't know how else to say it but Bizarre is a cornball and the fact that he's been doing the same wacky cornball shit from when i was in school is tragic to say the least
Youtube algorithm sprang on me a track he did with Giggs of all people,Giggs killed him on it

Also @pattycakes_ one thing i forgot to say to you yesterday if you want to just explore the depths of pre 96 rap you're not limited by what you can afford and go down whatever roads you see fit
I'm in a server where we're covering Point Blank's mad at the world as part of a album listening club thing, man dem in Texas were taking things further than whatever Big L and Gravediggaz could've imagined

If you mean the lack of money comment from the earlier post, I was talking about back in the day pre the net when the only way to listen to something was buy it, a mate had it or catch it on the radio/mtv. Where I was there were no hiphop specialists so it was hard to get hold of anything that wasn't current or mainstream classic from the generic music store in my village. Getting underground stuff from the early 90s was basically impossible, aside from luckily having some mates with cooler older brothers. These days yeah, most shit can be found. Side note: it's kinda cool that some stuff, and often some really desirable stuff is still not to be found on youtube or soulseek or wherever. Cool that there's still some shit out of reach
Checking asap

going back to what you said with jiggy rap and not feeling empowered by it cause it wasn't street cause of how flashy it was, it was but that might've been because it wasn't the streets you were familiar with. What i mean is that now stuff from that period what with the kind of samples used etc it's cause in spirit the music was harkening back to the very beginnings for rap in the late 70s and just how outsized and larger than life those rappers looked and sounded and especially considering the night life Harlem World being then name of the disco where some of the early pivotal rap battles happened it wasn't "divorced" at all but of course being brits and whatever that context was lost and wasn't commonly known like that.
so it didn't register as street to you the same way guys still rocking Timbs and Champion hoodies did
