How is that? Hip Hop had been gaining in populairty for 7 years before that year and it continued to become more popular after 1996 Anyway, my original point was that popularity dosen't equal talent and i was using Hammer as proof.

Yeah, but do you know how many non rap fans didn't even know who Flav was untill he got his reality show? Compare that to how many people know M.C.Hammer. Also NWA never really blew up on the East Coast and in other places, the East Coast only started paying real attention to Cali when The Chronic dropped and Snoop came in the game. Even Dre admits that he never got respect from the East untill then. But it was Hammer that put Rap on full blast a few years before The Chronic dropped.

that might be true but hip-hop's peak came when deathrow were the leading label in 96 thats when it was so popular and the game was at a high level, 1996 the year 2pac shakur was untouchable in the game

If you guys really wanna know what exploded hip hop, it probably had to be PE for the east coast and NWA on the west coast....they put their shit on the map, but this is my opinion from experiencing this in the 80s....

wow thats pretty much the dumbest thing ive ever heard. hip hop existed years before run dmc, since 1976 if not a couple years before even. run dmc really did not pioneer anything, they just did the same shit everyone else was doing at that time. now if u say that about eric b and rakim tho, like u should be on their video, they created the modern style of rappin and producing. its sad to see that a song like this only has 288k views when some bullshit lil wayne joint got several millions.

That's cool but does it make it right. Telling women to keep their head up and calling them bitches and ho's is okay? I loooovvvveeed Pac, but yet I can't criticize him too? Gotcha!
