Hiphop forum that dates back to 1993!

Posted: 09 Apr 2018 05:25 AM PDT

Link is here. Reading this often feels like hearing somebody say "yo I just heard about this cool new underground band, it's called the Beatles you should check it out".

Some notable quotes:

About MMLP on the day it came out: "This will be the biggest selling hip hop album of all time"
In 1996: "What could Canadians possibly rap about? Degrassi High?"
About Nas: "I heard his next album is supposed to be called "Still Illmatic"... when's he gonna learn he ain't NEVER gonna reproduce that ish? whatever... At least he should call it 'Stillmatic'"
"When is Dre going to make a new album? It's been 3 years. I know many people aren't a bit interested, but I am, I like his shit. And also, I was checking around, and I haven't heard anywhere that he isn't writing his own texts, like I heard somewhere around here. How do you know it and how can you be sure?"
About Illmatic: "This is a good album. This is a great album. This is probably the best debut to come out of New York since Black Moon's "Enta Da Stage." BUT, this is not the classic everybody's been calling…for sure, everyone will be hypin' this album and 12" of the singles will get mad play. But a classic? A classic debut? Like "People's Instinctive Travels…" or "3 Feet High and Rising?" Naw man. Like "Criminal Minded" or "Paid In Full?" C'mon."

Or some people were horribly wrong too:

"JA RULE = NEXT TUPAC"
"And also heard new shit from Snoop Dogg Dont know the name of it but it went something like 'Rolling down the street, Smoking Endo, Sipping on Pils'"
people in 1995 were saying Wu Tang were "commercial trash for suburban white kids" HOW???
Anticipating Biggie's Ready To Die: "personally i think it wont live up to the hype and he will be forgotten"

You can find Illmatic reviews on the day it came out, threads announcing the death of Tupac - and people being dicks about it: "hahahaha who cares" and "shut up, he was still human.. show some respect!!!". Also, people were racist af.

Edit: Yes I know Illmatic is a classic, hence I could have put the quote at the 'horribly wrong'-section. However, he still thought it was a great album and by comparison I don't think there were that many people calling GKMC or TPAB a classic on the day it came out. Sooo, he wasn't correct, but also not "horribly wrong". More like a 'notable quote'
