[Article] Hip Hop Progression - @JWILL214


The 1990's is the golden era of hip hop, or to some just another decade. For the most part hip hop fans and critics see the 1990's as the measuring stick for the culture. The West was taking over in the early 90's while  New York was still proving why they are the mecca of hip hop. The South on the other hand was starting to get taken seriously slowly, but surely. Now back to present time.

    Although the game has changed a lot since the 90's the one thing you can say is that lyricism and content has come back to the mainstream. Large part due to J Cole and Kendrick Lamar the industry has been a little more tolerated by the Hip Hop heads. Kendrick has set the standard for years to come with his "Section 80" that was strong enough to be a debut album. GKMC showed his consistency and had arguably one of the best songs of all time in "Tired of Running/Dying of Thirst". 

On the other side of the US J Cole has a few "classic" mixtapes under his belt, including his 2nd mixtape "The Warmup" one of the songs helped him get signed to Jay z's Roc Nation. His second album "Born Sinner" is highly anticipated and will be dropping this month same day as Kanye West. 

Now this next sentence is going to ruffle a couple of old school hip hop fans feathers. Drake also has helped hip hop a lot in the last couple of years, he just isnt the same as a Cole or Kendrick. With his intriguing background and him still staying true to himself, while at the same time maintaining chart topping records. "His singy songy" flow has been mimicked so much in the last 4 to 5 years. Now i know what some of the readers are thinking, what does this have to do with the "Golden Era"? Emcees from different states/countries, different backgrounds, and yet all have the same goal to be number one and represent their culture as best as they can. 
Safe to say our culture is in great hands
