Title: Remember the late 90's/early 2000's?
Post by: Momo on February 28, 2012, 04:27:44 AM: I really loved some of the decidedly un-pc songs of the time :lol
Dr. Dre cover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSJxvi767kQ
White Boy Angst
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34u_3Z9_LUw
I think this was considered pop back then :bow
Makes me sad to think of our Bieber/Black pop future.

It's actually a whole album, Ben Folds did all the music or at least like 90% of it, Shatner wrote a similar amount of the lyrics.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Has_Been

I thought it'd just be a goof after hearing the "Common People" cover, but I really like the album, was one of my favorites the year it came out.

EDIT2: This thread made me realize Shatner had a second "gather tons of famous people" album I had missed. Too bad it's all covers. Still, yes please.

Who could have thought that the new beginning was, in fact, the end of everything that made people simple and happy...

Post by: Timber on February 28, 2012, 11:46:13 AM: Ya I think he did. In his early videos he always made sure to self-consciously put his hand in front of his cheek like it was some real sexy romantic gesture, but everyone knew the real reason and it only drew attention to it. I would have fucked him silly regardless IMO.

Early 90's were great. Late 90's is worse than early.

Mid to Late 90's was great for EDM, probably the best ever for the genre.

Post by: etiolate on February 28, 2012, 07:34:11 PM: dear god No Limit

I was working a record store at the time of No Limit. Every week, the same chumps would come in and buy the new No Limit record, hate it and return it. The next week they buy the next No Limit record. Repeat to infinity. The last half of hte 90s was dominated by hype and single sales trying to push bad albums. You had to retreat to electronic stuff for quality.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 28, 2012, 11:53:27 PM: Questlove's take really fascinated me:

Quote
The ideology of what I considered "real" hip-hop died at the 1995 Source Awards. I was literally at its funeral-- I sat three rows behind Nas. In the audience, the Bad Boy camp was on the far right, all the West Coast and the Southern rappers were in the middle, and on the far left were all the New York underground rappers like Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Nas, Busta Rhymes, and us. That was the day when Suge called out Puffy, and there were fights in the audience. I felt like a bomb was going to detonate.

Nas' body language that day told the whole story of where we were about to go. The more he got ignored for Illmatic, I literally saw his body melt in his seat. Almost like he was ashamed. He just looked so defeated. I was like, "Yo, he's not gonna be the same after this shit." None of us were the same after that day. I feel like the true underground lost its oxygen that night.

Post by: Mandark on February 29, 2012, 12:41:08 AM: Don't have much time for people whining for a lost era of purity and authenticity. If an art form becomes popular enough that people can make a comfortable living doing it, it's going to attract people who are in it largely for the money. The only alternative is keeping it unpopular (the less smug synonym for "underground") and making it hard for the people producing stuff to do it full time. Shitty mainstream rappers weren't obligated to adhere to some sort of Code of Hip Hop arbitrated by Common and KRS-One.

That said, the big East Coast/West Coast bubble seemed to crowd out everything else. For a couple years it looked like acts like the Tribe could reach a surprisingly large audience, and hip hop could go into a bunch of different directions. I know that a lot of creative, experimental stuff still came out in the 90's after The Chronic, but it was almost like samizdat for music geeks, rather than getting the wider appreciation it maybe deserved.

Also, sometimes it's just fun to listen to some crotchety conscious rapper chew out a knucklehead for making dumb music. So I'm a hypocrite, so sue me.
