Who Ran Hip Hop In 1994

[5th Letter]

Who were some of the MVP’s of that year?

 

[Goldie]

Biggie

 

[Chi-Town B]

Nas
Warren G
Da Brat
Bone Thugs

 

[Broddie]

Biggie

Nas was only really regional back then. Big became an international playboy by the end of that year.

I’d give 1994 to Snoop. Doggystyle came out in late ‘93 but carried over into ‘94 and he rode that momentum through most of that year.

Good point. The trial and the Murder Was the Case short movie and soundtrack also brought him a lot of attention that year.

Kid Capri, DJ S&S and Doo Wop.

93/94 is when the mixtape industry started to take off. Rather than buying albums, cats on the East Coast and Tri-State were buying mixtapes.

Also DJ Premiere was a problem. He produced Hard To Earn and The Sun Rises In The East. He also produced a song on Ready To Die.

The MVP award has to go to Snoop Doggy Dogg.. He was facing a Murder Charge came out with an classic album and still perform this at the MTV music awards in 1994... Iconic Moment in Hip-Hop

The west coast, so basically Death Row.

Best answer tbh

 

[Broddie]

It's definitely one of the most balanced years hip hop has ever seen. Everyone came through with at least one classic. North, South, East, West, Midwest. I'd kill to see at least half those regions with the same consistency today.
