-10th

That's a great time line of the early years of hip-hop. I would go thru it now but I'm watching the game. It will give me something to read @ work tomorrow!

I don't think u could be further from the truth, kids want the truth, I think they would LOVE the class. They might get surprised to find out it didn't begin w/ D4L (lol) but I think they would eat it up. Give em' more credit than that, that might be the best thing the older generation of Hip-Hop did 4 the younger, is teach em where it began, root to tip.

Reading this takes me back. I remember that I could'nt even listen to NWA; my mother would flip her wig. I miss this era of hip-hop it was more diverse and less saturated.

Haughville — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 06:14:23 GMT

i think you left out a very important phase of this era in hip-hop, you dont touch on the hustla's from the hill comin' up outta philly! the hilltop hustlas (steady b, cool c, est, etc.)kinda put philly on the map fa' real, fa real [aside from pop-art on the label tip]....they represented for the street cats that was gettin' that grind paper in philly, they had the big jewels, and the fly dips kitted and rimmed up....not to to mention cool c gave a young "jill scott" her first shine in a music video
These cats caught bodies during a bank job and i think they are on death row....cats had real talent too.

How come NAUGHTY BY NATURE isn't on this list? Why people always seem to leave them off of lists they belong on. We know they had us all down with O.P.P. They dropped their debut album the summer of '91.
Shout out to Uncle Vinnie, Treach & Kay Gee STILL doing they thing ...... JERZY STAND UP!!!

'88 has got to be the best year in hip hop. There was Slick Rick, BDP, EPMD, Ultramagnetic MCs, Big Daddy Kane and N.W.A all dropping classics in the space of months.

re: Black (Hip-Hop) Music Month Timeline: '88 - '91

Sincere7X — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:07:27 GMT

Hmmmm, seems I'm not the only one that wants to cite some oversights (lol). I guess you're bound to miss some things from that explosive era. But overall it was pretty good and a good idea. Buuut let's see.

1988 - L.L. Cool J fires off on Kool Moe Dee for "How Ya’ Like Me Now?” with the infamous "Jack the Ripper”.

1988 - Doug E Fresh drops "World's Greatest Entertainer" and the laid back banger "Keep Risin' To The Top".

1988 - Kid N Play drops their first hit album "2 Hype", ushering in along with M.C. Hammer Hip-Hop music to dance to again...(remember Afrika Bambatta's "Planet Rock" and Suger Hill's "Rapper's Delight" and others) with his album "Let's Get It Started". Aaaand we include Rob Base and D.J E-Z Rock with the "It Takes Two" album.

1988/1989 - Eddie Murphy’s brothers Charlie and Vernon (if I’m right) try their hand at rap with the hit “Ain’t Nothin’ To It” as the group K-9 Posse.

1989 - The Polkadot king came in the form of Kwame “The Boy Genius”.

1989/1990- The heavily slept on Heavy D releases the album "Big Tyme".

1989-1990 - I definitely don't want to get smacked (lol) for not mentioning the "Stop the Violence Movement" by KRS-One joined by some of Hip-Hop's other heavyweights in the game with “Self-Destruction” on the East Coast and the West Coast joining in with Ice-T, Eazy-E and others with “We’re All In the Same Gang” giving a much needed cry and resolution plaguing us as a people (damn if we don’t need it and a whole lot more RIGHT NOW!).

1990 - Like someone mentioned before, Kid N Play’s movie “House Party” captured that era.

1990 - Coming in strong was the Red, the Black and the Green, with a key, sissyyyyy, yes, Brother J and Professor X the Overseer with the X-Clan “To The East Blackwards”, the 5% brothers Poor Righteous Teachers with “Holy Intellect” and the Black Panther of Hip-Hop, Paris, releases “The Devil Made Me Do It”.

Ahhhh, what an era. Forget NAStalgia (just playin’ with the term), it’s time for the Evolution of a Revolution's Resolution. (lol)

Nice time line. I guess u didn't have enuff space 2 put everything. Video Music Box was my shit. I Didn't have cable so dat was my only place 2 cee videos. They need 2 honor Uncle Ralph and Vid Kid on Hip-Hop honors 4real. But idk which era is betta. The Golden era (1986-1988)or Post-Crack era (91-95). But 96 - 98 Was dope 2 dag!!!!

re: Black (Hip-Hop) Music Month Timeline: '88 - '91

Sincere7X — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:22:11 GMT

Oh boy, I forgot a major player on my list of 1988:

Eric B and Rakim Allah drops the classic "Follow the Leader" album.

And while I'm at it, to sum up some other eras lets visit 1991-1993:

Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", Snoop's "Doggystyle", Ice Cube's "Death Certificate", The Wu-Tang's "36 Chambers".

1994-1999: Biggie's "Ready to Die" and "Life after Death", 2Pac's "Me Against the World", "All Eyez on Me" and "Makaveli:The 7 Day Theory", Nas' "Illmatic", "It Was Written", "I Am" and um "Nastradamus" (ha ha), Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt" and "Life and Times Vol.1, 2 & 3". Raekwon unleashes "Only Built for Cuban Linx", Ghostface releases "Iron Man" and the stellar "Supreme Clientele" and the Wu returns with "Wu-Tang Forever". I can't forget about the Dog, DMX with "It's Dark and Hell is getting hotter....(lol)", "Flesh of my Flesh..." and "...And then there was X". Keith Murray and Craig Mack made a little noise. Busta Rhymes, Outkast, Mystikal, Fugees and Goodie Mob came with force and No Limit and Cash Money kicked down the doors.

(y'all forgive me if I missed something, this is pain staking...ha, ha)

2000-2008

Alright who's going to do the honors and do this one? (lol)

the post-millenium era of hip-hop is still being written. too early for a historical study. we need distance to place things into context.

emccoy1972 — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:48:11 GMT

Greetings,

Nice post and brief synopsis. 88 has some very thorough classics! Overlooked in list, Public Enemy released 'Fear of a Black Planet', March 1990. and Los Angeles' Funkytown Pros, 'Reaching a Level of Assassination' dropped on August 13, 1991 (the title is mostly a metaphor for reaching the end of the book as the cover art illustrates). And through all the fog emerges Freestyle Fellowship with 'To Whom it May Concern' in 1990. Keep the Creativity Mega.

Respect,

JAW

You guys didnt mention hip hop in the U.K. artist like Monie Love and The Cookie Crew are over looked.Not to mention DJ Richie Rich also from the U.K..Good time line but some things were left out.This was the best time in Hip-Hop Thanks to Ralph Mcdaniels Video Music Box was all we had alot of us did not have cable.He played everything.Once these corperations got there hands on Hip-Hop it changed.

Nice recap of those years I remember them very well... I remember hearing LL Cool J Walking with a panther and Slick Ricks album... That P.E. album was one of my 1st albums ever bought I was like 12.. Yo MTV Raps is what helped to bring rap to the mainstream.. This was a classice period

Ice Cube album classic
D.O.C album classic
P.E. album classic
Slick Rick album classic
N.W.A album classic
M.C. Lyte album classic
Run DMC album classic
Kane album classic
Tribe album classic

maybe Im biased but not many time period of 3yrs has this much great music

David Copahfeel — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:08:05 GMT

I guess they are just focusing on the postives of those years

I would love to see them focus on other things during those times

Tim Dog and the whole Fuck compton controversy (1991)

I would have also loved to see them talk about kmd and leaders of the new school

ALL HIPHOP YALL SHOULD KEEP THIS ON YOUR PAGE!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!! MAYBE HAVE LIKE A DEDICATED SECTION OR SOMETHING THAT GETS INTO DEEP DETAIL ABOUT THE HISTORY OF HIP HOP.................I think thats whats wrong with hip hop today alot of people are in it for the wrong reasons i mean of course we all wanna get MONEY but back then people took it alot more serious it really was a art form. Now its like labels dont care they do anything to rape there artist and make a quick buck. Dudes happy with a dope single or a platinum ringtone but not really caring about the whole product
