Just heard the Between a Rock and a Hard Place album by Artifacts a couple weeks ago. About 20 years late on this one.

Yet another article about the golden 90's. 2 bloggers discussing the timeline of hip hop from early 90's into late 90's. Decent enough writeup, its about seeing if others remember and recall it like you remember it.

With about 25 videos posted.

Please Jam: There'll Never Be An Era As Great As The '90s
From coast to coast, Vince discusses hip-hop's greatest generation.

http://theshadowleague.com/articles/3409/full

Excerpt:

Not too long ago, Cipha Sounds compiled a list for Complex.com of the 75 Greatest Tunnel Bangers. The Tunnel was a super-club on the westside of Manhattan. Every Sunday (from the last half of the ’90s through early-’00s), Funkmaster Flex would take over the wheels and hip-hop patrons would flood that section of Chelsea. We’re talking everyone from rap stars, to drug kingpins, to models, to video vixens, to hoodrats, to hoodlums, to hop-heads, to visiting college kids like me. The hallmark of the Tunnel was that, often, its club smash was a deep cut from a street rap album.

---

I went to the Tunnel about a dozen times. And, although it was definitely a unique vibe and playlist, I could hear the Beatnutz, DMX and N.O.R.E. in D.C. and Toronto, too. And no one shut it down quite like Busta. Cipha chose “The Benjamins” as the greatest Tunnel Banger of all time and he’s almost surely right. But, “Put Ya Hands” made everyone, everywhere go coconuts. Bust’ had the ladies -- whose ears would bleed listening to “Rhymes Galore” -- spitting every rapid-fire bar of that joint verbatim

(Not at that club, but) that brought back some memories. I can relate to the claim of how Busta's "Put Ya Hands" at the time in NY was THE definition of BANGING. For me, was one of the unique moments where it was going out and LITERALLY can feel it "in the air". Could feel it out on the streets spreading through the city. Good times

Another excerpt, summing up why early-mid 90's is considered golden

VINCE: NYC hip-hop fans were such a salty bunch in the early-’90s. Eff the West Coast. It was a proprietary lot. So, it’s hard to understate the impact of 1993-94. It was like a scene from that Sylvester Stallone arm-wrestling movie where one side looks to be about finished -- knuckles about to knock on wood -- and then, (boom!) he’s right back in it. The Chronic was still the most popular album of ’93 (it dropped in December of ’92) and Snoop was the biggest star of ’94; but, by sheer force of numbers and artistic supernovas, East Coast hip-hop regained control in the mid-’90s. I swell with pride just thinking about it (especially as a long-suffering music fan weathering this last decade of southern dominance).

It started in November of ’93, which is why ’94 was really the year. In November, Tribe dropped Midnight Marauders, KRS-One dropped Return of the Boom Bap, Wu dropped Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and Black Moon dropped Enta Da Stage. That is beyond mind-boggling. In the span of one month, us hop-heads copped the last and most fully-realized album in a trio of jazz-hop classics from Tribe, a gutter street classic from Black Moon, KRS-One’s solo debut...produced by DJ Premier, and, uh, the Wu-Tang Clan.

Then, within six months of these releases, Nas drops Illmatic, followed a few months later by Biggie’s debut. The East was puttin’ numbers on the boards.

It’s hard to overstate the musical impact these albums had, but, you know me, James -- I will try.

Do you think this summer has the potential to be as fondly remembered by my generation as the winter of ‘93 was for you? (Kanye, Cole, Jay-Z, Pusha, Drake, ScHoolboy, Mac Miller, Joey Bada$$, MMG) Or is that kind of thing pretty much dead in the era of constant leaks, free mixtapes and singles?

(Vince: That era is dead because people don’t make classic albums anymore -- not at the ‘93-’94 clip. And this is not generational hate. Cats ten years older than me knew Wu, Nas, Big, etc. were dropping landmarks.)

Agree with that as well. It wasnt just (for them most part maybe) a selfish core of know-it-all brats self aggrandizing themselves. I had much older relatives and peers at the time that some of these albums. Heck I (showing my age now) BURNED the CDs from them.

7 month bump? Is it a coincidence that I just saw this in the TIL sub on reddit? I don't think so
