@@chadjordan2099 that's what I'm saying, don't get me wrong OutKast, Goodie Mob, Major Bank, Ghetto Mafia, A Town Players, and the list goes on. That was the ATL music I say was the shit! Now it's booty!
I will never forget the night Tupac died. It was Friday the 13th, Sept 1996. He had been shot 7 days earlier and everyone expected him to survive, come back and make a bigger diss song than Hit em Up. Something in Hip Hop died with Pac and Biggie. Nothing has ever been the same. Such a sad turn.
You're just a clown talking clown s*** because everybody knows Nas is still making music and I remember the day Tupac died I was happy as hell I'm from the Bronx I was upstate in SUNY Delhi and they announced it some corny girls was crying and I was like f*** that dude he ain't give a fuk about us lol@@TroubledOnePaydirt
this brings me back, im grown now but i do remember growing up watching this, it was a couple years old by the time i watched it, what i appreciate is that you didnt only show what parts we always see from this night( suge, snooop, andre) and you actually showed john trying to cool things down, and broke everything down yassine you are doing the music history world wonders with these and i appreciate them so much, thanks.
@@Selfloathingmisanthrope imagine if y'all had embraced the West and South instead of being a-holes then turned around to become bloods and crips doing gangsta rap with better beats then fell off.🥴
😭🤣yall lames kill me with this. hiphop moves in phases. it was nyc, then cali, them south, Florida, then chi. all those cities can say they took over the game at a point. the facts are most in the GOLDEN AGE OF HIPHOP was nyc artist
That was the night where hip hop as we all know could really end. Like Nas said on The Defiant Ones: > Also, first time I see a so well made analysis of what happened that night in one singular video. Love this🔥
You said that Tupac‘s death row records was feuding with bad boy while he was in prison… that’s not accurate, he wasn’t even signed to death row until Suge came and bailed him out for $3 million.
You are correct. That’s why suge gave him a shout out. The deal was suge bails Tupac out and Tupac releases 3 albums under the death row label. That’s the reason why “all eyez on me” was a double album. “Makavelli the don killuminati: the 7 day theory” was supposed to be his last album to fulfill that agreement
@@AnTunZee and Tupac wanted desperately out that deal and thats why he had so much music after his death cause he was working so hard to meet the 3 album deal. Ppl just thought he had an insane work ethic which he might have...but he was working hard to leave Deathrow.....and Suge knew
I was 22. Recent grad and was in law school. From Philly, went to Morehouse, and had a paid internship in downtown Manhattan at this firm. I decided to treat myself to a break from work and studying for the bar. I decided to go to The Source Awards. At first, the energy was crazy, in a good way. My homeboy and I talking to all types of females, sapped up Craig Mac, Dazz, and a couple of other rappers. The night was right. I can personally tell you, about 1 1/2 hours into the show, the energy changed. It really felt something was going to pop off at any moment. You saw a lot of dudes posting up instead of trying to holla at the ladies. Dudes had their heads on swivels with a concentrated look, myself included. We stayed for the whole show, but we positioned ourselves for the get out in case something popped off. NY dudes was popping off at the mouth real hard about the diss. I mean regular dudes l, not rappers. The ish was crazy!!!
I actually remember hearing Suge in an interview saying his comment was about Jermaine Dupri because Suge was supposed to sign Lill Bow Wow but Dupri scooped him instead
He absolutely did not. Suge did. You mix the timeline up drastically. You cant bring in the chain story, or the so called hit he ordered as him playing his part. Puff was 100% forced to do that, because you had idiots like suge and pac not having any limits or forsight. And I love DR and Pac, but lets be real. I dont accept nonsense even as a fan of pacs music.
Suge started all that him hiring Bloods for Security. Swelled his and Pac head up thinking they couldn't be touched. Suge hated Puff for having that same type Streets Security. New York Gangsters that could match his Bloods Security !
What a time to be alive! I remember watching the show back in the day and then telling my friend that shit is going to pop off in there. I was so focused on East Coast/West Coast Beef that I totally forgot about Andre 3000's rant. Dayum Andre! The South was ready too! I was too young to understand the whole magnitude of what was really going on that night. Me and my friends thought the whole shit was funny at the time. Good breakdown of the event! So sad that Pac and Biggie got killed over some BS.
The most dangerous night in hip-hop was March 9, 1997. that was the first example of a rapper getting caught lackin in the opps neighborhood even though his crew was told not to go there.
It was biggie, the entire bad boy crew was warned not to come to Los Angeles because there were still tension after 2Pac was killed. they went to Los Angeles to promote life after death and shoot a video for hypnotized.
You right biggie didn't want to go there Even the ceo trying to convince diddy for the Europe tour Like if I had to choose i would have told diddy to not go to la
nah it was the source awards, it could have been an entire generation of rappers wiped out in one night had it gone south.. You already had tension from all the NY boroughs in there, plus the East V West rivalry... and the south wanting to prove themselves.
Suge gets biggie and tupac killed, suge ends up in prison for the rest of his life and the others do the smart thing, continue making music and have successful careers the end.
@@MikeEdwards-co7ip half and half he just said it all so blunt and randomly in one breathe like woah how did we get to this point!? 🤣🤣 but also i always thought it was well speculated that puff was behind pac's death.
I somewhat remember watching this as a kid. I recently watched this on TH-cam as an adult and OMG this was a train wreck. A wonderful, awkward, historic train wreck.
I was born in 2001 so seeing this whole clip and what everyone had to say was kinda dope to me in a way. I’m really glad that nothing popped off in there even though there was hella tension and animosity in the room.
I remember a rapper describing how Suge used to discipline his artists and staff like they were his kids. Late? Get smacked, talk back? Get smacked. Etc. And one crazy story of how he beat a disobedient rapper like it was his stepson with punches, kicks, chasing around the office and throwing shit at 'em. Wild.
i hope you do more of these people need too understand these award shows and beefs are crazy becareful in picking and choosing what party or celebration too go too
I used to love hip hop and beef like this when I was a teen. Now that I’m in my 30s and have people to take care of and set examples for, it’s sad to know people helped encourage and promote such a terrible violent and immoral way of life… But it is nice some of them tried to squash the beef…
I just remember Nas and Mobb Deep was there. And how crazy it was that Biggie won everything while Nas and Mobb Deep was there. Even lyricist of the year and Album of the year. The man himself openly admitted he didn’t think he had a chance with Nas on that joint. Let’s go back years later and revisit as a hip hop fan. Who ran 1995? My only problem with that entire night.
@@dexenationgracey1979 that’s not true, Illmatic and Ready to Die had both went Gold. After sometime had passed they both increased to Platinum and beyond.
I'll never forget this Award Show. 🤣 I was born in Cleveland Ohio home of Bone Thugs and I have Love for them and Eazy E for getting them started but back in the day I was all about the West Coast baby because of the greatest rapper of all time Mr. Tupac Shakur Westside!🤗 I still say that.🤣 🖤
Actually Tupac is from Harlem, New York,born and raised, if u didnt know. So if he end up on west coast, doesnt mean he is representing, if u like him as u say, you would realize that hes 100% east coast when rhyme pattern comes to question. And that east west was just his paranoia that BIG wanted to kill him...Tupac had very messy life in young age, his mom try to move him from all that violence, when they moved in Marin city, but you can take a boy out of hood, but you cant take hood out of homeboy, get it? Sad thing was BIG was shoot dead, again from hand of Suge. For Tupac i dont feel anything. He got what he asked for!!!
Fr and if u can’t see that.. u dumb. Especially now. A lot of mfs are playing both sides. But especially snoop. He a rat and phony for what he did to pac.
Chief keef would of been invited to the source awards, wish BET was more like the source award cause they’re talking about the state of the culture truthfully in front of everyone involved
@@Chiefteeth1 he said that after finding out they ain’t want him there. So yeah he said fuck them after acting to good to invite the him the breakout artist of the year to the award show. I think Kodak Black got his first invite last year
They tried real damn hard to bring it together. Dre, Snoop, Diddy. And because of the loss of Pac and Biggie, we wish we could rewind and make it work. Make it happen. But I always think of what might have happened if things were altered. I think of this when I was asked about something I am passionate about that has nothing to do with music. The RMS Titanic. I had always said "Oh I wish I could go back in time, and prevent it from sinking." But my college professor pointed this little nugget out to me. "John do you realize if the Titanic had not sunk that night, its sister ship Britannic would NOT have been made to have lifeboats for everyone. It sank in less than 30 minutes, rather than over 2 hours. Because of the Titanic ALL of Britannic's passengers made it off the ship in less than 30 minutes. (30 died only because they were sucked into the emerging propeller)" That hit me hard. If not for the sinking of the Titanic.....the next 3 sinkings would have had far far more casualties. And 1500 is a hard pill to swallow already. I no longer wish I could change this or alter that. Because there can always be seen a worse scenario down the line from it being altered in hind sight. I then sit in situations like this one and wonder.....would it have gotten worse? How much more worse could it have been? The olive branches were going out......but to no avail. I think honestly it took losing these absolute icons to make people wake the fuck up. Realize how wrong it really was, and how far it was going. But if it had not happened the way it did.....who would not be here now? Dre, Snoop....Wutang, Diddy, I mean the list is long. And then think of the people they have brought into the music world since then. The domino effect is mind numbing. As a lover of the hip hop golden time (80's and 90's) I long for new Tupac music. Biggie on a great track with Michael again. (This Time Around: HIStory) But I always remind myself of how much worse it could have been. It could have ended the entire genre. Maybe these icons were put into the place of losing them to END the absolute violence. It just makes me honor them all the more.
People need to remember that east coast/west coast tensions started to buildup a few years before this show. It only heightened after Pac signed with Deathrow.
I love Pac and the artists from Death Row but Suge really is the devil smh. This was the first time I saw the event played out and although it was the abridged version of the whole show, I'm proud of those that chose peace and the bigger picture over instigating. I feel like in today's climate, someone in Diddy's position may have escalated the situation further leading to way more bloodshed.
This is why I love the Pioneers of rap and Hip Hop. They had beef with our enemy and not amongst each other. Melle Mel KRS-1 , Kurtis Blow and others moved like grown men and sent a real message. Sad that we have people who love this beef wars.
I just seen your videos and this has to be one of my favorites I’m hoping if you haven’t already could talk about the Gucci vs Jeezy beef one of the most dangerous feud of the 2000s
Crazy how Outkast was an underdog representing Atlanta, and now Atlanta literally rules Hip hop. Young Thug, Lil baby, Gunna, Gucci Mane, Future, Carti, 21 Savage. like 90 percent of modern mainstream rappers are from there now. Who would have expected
Suge put it on JD because of what Diddy said at his acceptance speech about no drama between the both Coast, so yeah it made Suge want to leave it alone too, plus remember Suge homeboy died in Atlanta in a discussion with Diddy and his team
Hip Hop revenue was almost 3 billion in 2021. Not sure we want to say it “died” in 1995. Perhaps it’s best to say the Source Awards event was a “game changer, and a deadly game changer at that” in the Hip Hop industry.
Who else had them the source hip hop hits albums?? Vol. 3 was probably my favorite but i had a couple of them. It was always a good buy back then. You got a lot of hit singles on one album.
Man I remember watching this live as a kid. The best hip hop awards ever. The source soundtrack was the shit. I held on to that CD for dear life until my boombox needed repairs at Sears...they broke it. Danny boy on stage with Suge he whined up dead too
First, great video, the production and script are fantastic. Second, France. Third, It's a really shame the consequences after the conflict in that Award Show. When you mentioned that Tupac wasn't there, I become sad.
James 4:1-3 (NIV) 1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
If I remember correctly, pac hadn’t signed yet. They were talking. And therefore, the “east vs west” war didn’t start yet either, it was heating up. But this night and pac A.) joining death row and B.) releasing hit ‘em up started all the stupid shit that has followed.
Diddy was honestly smart as fuck he dealt with all of that like a real gangster. All the mob guys would try to sit down and talk things out back in the day before all the mafia wars.
I think the south Georgia hip hop and trap old school music group outkast had won tonight during the 1995 source awards shows and the west coast Los Angeles California gangsta rap death row chronicles and real talented skills impossible accomplishment of sets up with music videos and promoting films. Like Eazy motherfucking e and NWA legacy going on world tour and selling like 66,200,000 copies one week and basically the whole charts album goes up! Straight outta Compton(1988) and efil4zaggin (1991) probably dominated in the late 90's and 2000's generation into this new variable player and kid streets of the blocks all time. NWA and snoop Doggy Dogg! I'm from Baltimore Maryland. Including the south Georgia trap.
So NOTHING happened other then some Highschool type hand slapping... was wondering why I never herd of what went down. That's because, NOTHING WENT DOWN!!!!
The 90's was the golden age of rap and R & B at the time I was in my 30's I didnt like rap so much, mainly because gangster rap was for teenagers and people in their 20s, but the R & B male groups Dru Hill , Silk, Jagged Edge, 112 , H-town, boys 2 Men, and the crooners Jaheim, Tyreese, Tank ect were on the scene and I didnt really appreciate all of them the way I do know and how powerful that decade really was because the music the youth have today doesnt compare.
Biggie and Jr. Mafia with lil Kim had a dope performance that night. Look it up. Biggie had me hype when he started out with Yeah. Then stood up. Yeah. Then Kim killled it
That east coast west coast had a huge ripple effect everywhere Even up north in Canada 🇨🇦 lol! You were either down with Biggie or Tupac Me personally listened more to the east coast however back of the bus by Outcast was a club banger with its hard rumbling bass and guitar🎸 accents All of hip hop has evolved since then into somany genres now in 2023 once again awesome short hip hop documentary!!
Kids of the 70s talk about the summer of love, kids of the 80's talked about rock and roll and cutlasses, and kids of the 90's talked about East Coast vs the West Coast. Lol... There should be a movie made about this.... lol
@@kwoodward6189 since I was well known in the industry as being from LA and it was mostly an industry crowd - I wasn’t in danger per se - but the death row guys or anyone súper west coast looking - and maybe hard to imagine now but people dressed really different on each coast so it was kinda obvious who was who definitely were not safe in the building or the after parties around town
Was 16 at the time and while watching this it reminded me of a high school assembly in the auditorium and the presenters and winners were like the teachers trying to calm the students down falling on deaf ears 😂
Outkast's success this night was a huge step up for the south and set the stage for Atlanta hip hop running the scene

Fr and if u can’t see that.. u dumb. Especially now. A lot of mfs are playing both sides. But especially snoop. He a rat and phony for what he did to pac.
As all good generals understand
@@jaredtate4158 really, cos last time I checked he's still alive. You can't argue with a fact
Ong
@@jaredtate4158 I almost done a lot of shit, never happened. How can you debate this. Facts are snoop survived, that's a 100% undebatable
Chief keef would of been invited to the source awards, wish BET was more like the source award cause they’re talking about the state of the culture truthfully in front of everyone involved
Chief keep threatened to rob and shoot people at the bet awards. Why do black people reward predatory behavior?
@@Chiefteeth1 he said that after finding out they ain’t want him there. So yeah he said fuck them after acting to good to invite the him the breakout artist of the year to the award show. I think Kodak Black got his first invite last year
Never knew keef never performed at the BET awards would of been dope for him to perform don't like or faneto
Just discovered your channel and have watched a few of your videos. Great content and editing. New subscriber!
Thanks and welcome
They tried real damn hard to bring it together. Dre, Snoop, Diddy. And because of the loss of Pac and Biggie, we wish we could rewind and make it work. Make it happen.
But I always think of what might have happened if things were altered. I think of this when I was asked about something I am passionate about that has nothing to do with music.
The RMS Titanic. I had always said "Oh I wish I could go back in time, and prevent it from sinking." But my college professor pointed this little nugget out to me.
"John do you realize if the Titanic had not sunk that night, its sister ship Britannic would NOT have been made to have lifeboats for everyone. It sank in less than 30 minutes, rather than over 2 hours. Because of the Titanic ALL of Britannic's passengers made it off the ship in less than 30 minutes. (30 died only because they were sucked into the emerging propeller)"
That hit me hard. If not for the sinking of the Titanic.....the next 3 sinkings would have had far far more casualties. And 1500 is a hard pill to swallow already.
I no longer wish I could change this or alter that. Because there can always be seen a worse scenario down the line from it being altered in hind sight.
I then sit in situations like this one and wonder.....would it have gotten worse? How much more worse could it have been? The olive branches were going out......but to no avail.
I think honestly it took losing these absolute icons to make people wake the fuck up. Realize how wrong it really was, and how far it was going. But if it had not happened the way it did.....who would not be here now? Dre, Snoop....Wutang, Diddy, I mean the list is long. And then think of the people they have brought into the music world since then. The domino effect is mind numbing. As a lover of the hip hop golden time (80's and 90's) I long for new Tupac music. Biggie on a great track with Michael again. (This Time Around: HIStory) But I always remind myself of how much worse it could have been. It could have ended the entire genre. Maybe these icons were put into the place of losing them to END the absolute violence. It just makes me honor them all the more.
I aint readin none of that
@@lemonscentedgames3641 the disrespect is crazy
@@lemonscentedgames3641'cause u can't read
Don't you just love how the media doesn't show the clip of Diddy and Snoop hugging on stage??
People need to remember that east coast/west coast tensions started to buildup a few years before this show. It only heightened after Pac signed with Deathrow.
so legendary wish i was born to see it live 😢
I was 16 when Biggie and Tupac both died ... it was a hell of a time to be alive
This happened 14 days before I was born. What a time
Sam Cassell “Oh oh😮…we gone have some trouble here” lmaooooo🤣🤣🤣
Wow! Sam Cassell! Never knew he presented an award that night or period, for that matter.
I love Pac and the artists from Death Row but Suge really is the devil smh. This was the first time I saw the event played out and although it was the abridged version of the whole show, I'm proud of those that chose peace and the bigger picture over instigating. I feel like in today's climate, someone in Diddy's position may have escalated the situation further leading to way more bloodshed.
Suge and Diddy were friends and Diddy crossed him.That was not out of anywhere. It's a lot deeper than ppl know.
This is why I love the Pioneers of rap and Hip Hop. They had beef with our enemy and not amongst each other. Melle Mel KRS-1 , Kurtis Blow and others moved like grown men and sent a real message. Sad that we have people who love this beef wars.
And who is "the enemy" exactly?
@@andreledoux7143 According to Sugar Hill Gang, your friend who invites you over but the food ain’t no good.
I remember watching this live. After all these years I haven't forgotten this award show
Yassine, been watching you for years bro! Keep up the work fam I enjoy watching fam. Peace.
I just seen your videos and this has to be one of my favorites I’m hoping if you haven’t already could talk about the Gucci vs Jeezy beef one of the most dangerous feud of the 2000s
Crazy how Outkast was an underdog representing Atlanta, and now Atlanta literally rules Hip hop. Young Thug, Lil baby, Gunna, Gucci Mane, Future, Carti, 21 Savage. like 90 percent of modern mainstream rappers are from there now. Who would have expected
So it's the south coast who's to blame for the demise of hip hop?!
@@BirthOfAnEmceeTV no but it was literally responsible for hip hop becoming the most popular genre in the music industry. 😊
It’s not a good thing to rule hip hop anymore 😂 more of an embarrassment if anything, the talent just isn’t there anymore sadly.
@@spondoncrew sure bud
🗑
Hip Hop is all about geography and map reading, East Coast ,west Coast, Southside and on and on.
Man the best part of that night is André’s speech.
This why award shows picky with invitations nowadays 😢😅😂
Suge put it on JD because of what Diddy said at his acceptance speech about no drama between the both Coast, so yeah it made Suge want to leave it alone too, plus remember Suge homeboy died in Atlanta in a discussion with Diddy and his team
Hip Hop revenue was almost 3 billion in 2021. Not sure we want to say it “died” in 1995. Perhaps it’s best to say the Source Awards event was a “game changer, and a deadly game changer at that” in the Hip Hop industry.
Most dangerous night in hip hop was when big pun and fat joe walked into super wok Chinese buffet all you can eat Tuesday night.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You’re dead wrong for this 😂
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
and if you don't know, now you know...
Who else had them the source hip hop hits albums?? Vol. 3 was probably my favorite but i had a couple of them. It was always a good buy back then. You got a lot of hit singles on one album.
More people got hurt at the 2004 Vibe awards and 94th Academy awards.
You are really heating up w these videos bro keep it up !
Awesome video I appreciate the effort put into this.
That was great Breakdown of the events..well done
This just makes me miss the 90’s even more…
Man I remember watching this live as a kid. The best hip hop awards ever. The source soundtrack was the shit. I held on to that CD for dear life until my boombox needed repairs at Sears...they broke it. Danny boy on stage with Suge he whined up dead too
Danny Boy didnt die, not sure where you got that from.
Lol, this man really not playing. I was just binging on the previous stuff i needed to catch up on, now i gotta watch this.
This is crazy,.. and of course well made. Keep it up bruh
First, great video, the production and script are fantastic. Second, France. Third, It's a really shame the consequences after the conflict in that Award Show. When you mentioned that Tupac wasn't there, I become sad.
Aweee I love Andre’s speech I’ve never seen that before!! I’m so glad they got their flowers that night ❤
THE 1990S WERE GOLDEN
🏴 SUNDERLAND AFC ⚽⚽
Puff has fallen
James 4:1-3 (NIV)
1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
I love how he presented this video great work 💯 & Diddy always been soft lol he was never gone say nothing back regardless 😂
What I like to focus on about that night are the amazing live performances that happened!
This is iconic~ thanks Yassine I love the original content
The source awards was WILD back then, I remember watching this!
If I remember correctly, pac hadn’t signed yet. They were talking. And therefore, the “east vs west” war didn’t start yet either, it was heating up. But this night and pac A.) joining death row and B.) releasing hit ‘em up started all the stupid shit that has followed.
This man on a roll with the videos 🙇🏼♂️
Diddy was honestly smart as fuck he dealt with all of that like a real gangster. All the mob guys would try to sit down and talk things out back in the day before all the mafia wars.
this is such an excellently done video, love one love hiphop
Yo yassine, the editing is only getting better, good job man
I think the south Georgia hip hop and trap old school music group outkast had won tonight during the 1995 source awards shows and the west coast Los Angeles California gangsta rap death row chronicles and real talented skills impossible accomplishment of sets up with music videos and promoting films. Like Eazy motherfucking e and NWA legacy going on world tour and selling like 66,200,000 copies one week and basically the whole charts album goes up! Straight outta Compton(1988) and efil4zaggin (1991) probably dominated in the late 90's and 2000's generation into this new variable player and kid streets of the blocks all time. NWA and snoop Doggy Dogg! I'm from Baltimore Maryland. Including the south Georgia trap.
Actually, the most dangerous award show in history is the Oscars, when Will slapped Chris!!! 🤣😂
i've been awake for 28 hours but you explainn it so nice i understand it
So NOTHING happened other then some Highschool type hand slapping... was wondering why I never herd of what went down. That's because, NOTHING WENT DOWN!!!!
Wow, this video quality is awesome, those who edit this video need a raise. Keep creating videos like this. 😍
Suge wasn’t sarcastically saluting the audience. He was saying: “join us.” He was attempting to persuade them to his side.
The 90's was the golden age of rap and R & B at the time I was in my 30's I didnt like rap so much, mainly because gangster rap was for teenagers and people in their 20s, but the R & B male groups Dru Hill , Silk, Jagged Edge, 112 , H-town, boys 2 Men, and the crooners Jaheim, Tyreese, Tank ect were on the scene and I didnt really appreciate all of them the way I do know and how powerful that decade really was because the music the youth have today doesnt compare.
Even though he was wrong for saying it, WHAT Suge said was 100% spot on.
Well made video. I followed most of these growing up.
Biggie and Jr. Mafia with lil Kim had a dope performance that night. Look it up. Biggie had me hype when he started out with Yeah. Then stood up. Yeah. Then Kim killled it
That east coast west coast had a huge ripple effect everywhere Even up north in Canada 🇨🇦 lol! You were either down with Biggie or Tupac Me personally listened more to the east coast however back of the bus by Outcast was a club banger with its hard rumbling bass and guitar🎸 accents All of hip hop has evolved since then into somany genres now in 2023 once again awesome short hip hop documentary!!
Easy E was the founder of gangster rap? Wasn’t Ice T doing gangsta rap before easy e?
It was all around the same time just mc eight and DJ quik too short e 40 ect was all rapping since the 80s everybody just didn't blow up til the 90s
Other people had done it as well but Eazy E is considered the Godfather of Gangsta Rap because he brought it more to the mainstream with NWA.
Chris webber did an interview talking bout being at the source awards saying bunch of techs were falling on the floor 😂, that award show was intense
Kids of the 70s talk about the summer of love, kids of the 80's talked about rock and roll and cutlasses, and kids of the 90's talked about East Coast vs the West Coast. Lol... There should be a movie made about this.... lol
i was up in there that night, and as a west coast guy it was definitely feeling a lil hectic..
How would anyone even know where you were from though unless you told them? Like are you saying you were in legit danger or something?
@@kwoodward6189 since I was well known in the industry as being from
LA and it was mostly an industry crowd - I wasn’t in danger per se - but the death row guys or anyone súper west coast looking - and maybe hard to imagine now but people dressed really different on each coast so it was kinda obvious who was who definitely were not safe in the building or the after parties around town
It's crazy we see all this footage knowing the casualties but all these fans cheering and jeering didnt know how real it would get
Was 16 at the time and while watching this it reminded me of a high school assembly in the auditorium and the presenters and winners were like the teachers trying to calm the students down falling on deaf ears 😂
Diddy had no idea this day would come 9/29/2024
