It was so special in the Golden Age because it was so much new diversity and subject matter added to the hip-hop world. You may ask”What does this have to do with hip-hop changing through the course of time”? Well because I’m the early 90’s hip-hop was at new heights when they started coming out with films like “Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing”, and “Public Enemy’s Fight The Power”, Hip-Hop at the time of the early 90’s was just in the East Coast but when it started growing like a wildfire it eventually exploded in the west coast.

Tupac came in the hip-hop industry with unique sound that took the youths attention fast. He got hooked up with the best producer of his time Dr. Dre, Dre produced Tupac’s first song called “California Love”. This song was a major success when it hit mainstream radio’s back then. This impacted everyone in California especially with all of what they were going through at the time in Compton. The song talked about the love of California which impacted gangs a lot almost as much as NWA’s most famous record F*** the police, Which helped start the riots and looting from feed up Black African Americans. But it’s been decades since we saw/heard more versatile rappers that have the potential to change the game for good like Pac and Biggie did to impact the youth in the way they did. But what if I told you that Biggie was the same way not identical but the same in the way he changed the game? Biggie’s story related trouble times growing up and how he overcame adversity. Biggie grew up in poverty which he has mentioned in some of his music. He was bullied as a kid by his peers because he was overweight and poor. But his rising story inspired and changed many lives for troubled youth that still listens to the music he put outback then and it still impacts the youth of the 2000’s era. Because all the rappers we listened to back In the 90’s through early 2000 changed the whole hip-hop industry to what it is today.
