Some guy on Twitter by the name of Justsunlade is detailing 90s Hip Hop/street history, complete with photos and long threads of intricate/incredibly compelling/interestinf narratives, it's 150+ tweets and goes in forever so it could take up your whole day, but it's all great info, nothing new really, a lot of the infos from magazines/books/dvd's/just general things that were known, but having it all (though obviously all not true) compiled into one place is a great resource, just click the link and let the wind take you, covers relationships and people all the way from Puffy and Suge Knight to Wayne Perry and Alpo to 50 Cent and Supreme and his various beefs to Jay and Nas and people they ran with to Jimmy Henchman to Wolf to Mike Tyson and his best friends/connects to Michael K Williams to Irv Gotti to Pac and Big and so on so forth:

This KTT thread has a lot of the posts copy and pasted (though the Jay story with E Money Bags Kant true/was just denied by Curtis Scoon):

I know it was a thing, it just needs to leak or get released.

Same thing with the CDQ Swizz' Jay Z, Nas, DMX, & Jadakiss song.

FZZ is like 17 tbf if you couldn't tell

 

[NoctisVsStar]

That makes sense.

 

[slick7rick]

How do I read this shit? I hate Twitter and I don't care about all the replies, how do I read only the threads?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Why you think Straight Outta Compton got made?

 

[andymcc]

90s was weak af tho

I mean, most people that worship 90s hip-hop probably say fuck suge knight.

This post is weird af

 

[Bounceounce]

Too bad Dre and Cube romanticized themselves.

 

[HiiiLife]

Mike Tyson everywhere in this

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Nah breh.

 

[uncelestial]

Man, this is great, but fuck posting this on Twitter, though.

 

[ponpo]

Cool photos. Always kind of sad to see a young / healthy Big Pun.

 

[Magus1234]

This is the worst medium for this.

 

[FZZ]

Basically only Puff and Jay are worth anything from that era

everyone else is either dead, in jail, or irrelevant. And for good reason

 

[The Salt Life]

I feel like today's hip hop artists would never have survived the 90's.

So much drama
From Biggie's crew running up on OGC to Just Ice rolling into Queens Bridge with a shot gun.

Rest in Peace E-Money Bags, dude was nice as hell on the mic and actually did the shit he rhymed about.

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

90s were weak? I don't what's happened with the kids today.

I almost kind of respect you for doubling down on a shitty opinion.

"I just lost a hundred pounds, I'm tryin' to live!"- Big Pun on "It's So Hard"

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Singing about their woes is what happened.

 

[Dynomutt]

This is just the tip of the iceberg prolly chances are slim we find more out...

Big l's killer on the back of his album is fuckin weird

Big l's killer on the back of his album is fuckin weird

His stories pretty sad, finally comes back to his hometown over a decade after the fact and gets shot on the day he gets back on the same block that he killed L on, sounds like something out of The Wire.
Cam'ron went to his funeral.

I think the funniest tweet I've seen in the thread was someone summarizing his entire twitter convo as the black game of thrones

How the fuck could you forget Eminem

My name is was the best rap song of the 90s

 

[LionPride]

I think the funniest tweet I've seen in the thread was someone summarizing his entire twitter convo as the black game of thrones

I mean, the 90s rap game from 89-98 is basically GoT

Lies, deceit, small slights being taken as major offenses, constant fucking, hits being put on people, carrier pigeons, the whole shabang

Hip Hop history is just so unique compared to any genre just because of the environment it arose in and how individual and group centric centric it is, makes for some incredible stories.

Edit: The Different regions from the East to the West to the South etc etc are like different comic verses or comic run's with occasional crossovers/events
