The Secret Meeting that Changed Rap Music and Destroyed a Generation

Came across this interesting article, kinda wished it wasn't on a conspiracy theorist site though.
Those sites don't add credibility anymore.

When I used to listen to rap back in the early 90's when Run DMC, tribe called quest were among my favourites and they would be considered mainstream rap, a little afterwards gangster rap appeared and dominated. Groups like Public enemy, NWA, Wutang took over the whole rap scene and its never been the same since.

Yeah I've seen this before too, it's such laughable bullshit. The 90s was a hot decade for music in general, gangsta rap wasn't promoted above anything else and the artists sure as fuck didn't make life easy for the labels which is why so many of them split off and started their own labels. The "industry" never controlled hip-hop, it was like the wild west for them trying to hunt down the hottest new artists to get them signed so they could make some profit. Funny thing is the industry didn't even want to deal with the realest gangster MCs because it was such a bitch just getting them off the stoop and into the studio.

Hence why Death Row was started. Shug would legit scare people into contracts, and kill/hurt them badly if they attempted to leave. He also extorted lots of 'rappers'.

90's hip-hop allowed suppressed black people (in LA, black people were really suppressed by the PO-LEES) to stand up and say, "Fuck you" to the cops/white man. It was a movement...

EDIT: Just loaded the site to find random homemade youtube videos made by crackers, claiming to have exposed the "Illuminati" and "Devil Worship" in hip-hop. To me, this is a joke, and I ignore it fully and wholeheartedly. These people clearly have nothing better to do but stir shit up completely out of the blue.

I think Death Row is a bunch of shit, people shouldn't be put to death over something in the first place, let them die in prison instead of getting murdered. Its cruel.

TL;DR
Music pre-millenium was fucking awesome

When I used to listen to <INSERT GENRE #1> back in the early <INSERT ERA> when <INSERT BREAKTHROUGH GENRE#1 ARTIST(s)> were among my favorites and they would be considered mainstream <INSERT GENRE #1>, a little afterwards <INSERT SUB GENRE> appeared and dominated. Groups like <INSERT POPULAR SUB GENRE ARTIST(s)> took over the whole <INSERT GENRE#1> scene and its never been the same since.

Epically Fixed for accuracy
