Another vast chronicle in the rap happy era of the 1990s.It's really an odd period for a genre of music. You had a large and popular faction that sought solace in jazz rhythms and rapping about something other than murder and drug dealing. Then you had probably a bigger faction that embraced the thug lifestyle.
Without a better analogy, it would've been as if the 1980s glam metal had co-existed (instead of preceded) 1990s grunge and indie rock. Two very different eras that counter acted each other; they served as cause and effect.
Whereas the rap scene had two different things going on and they almost existed within their own bubbles.
However, both sides were scary to white folks.
