An Introduction to Early 90's Timbo Era Chorus Rap Part 2
In the Early 90's the Golden era style was starting to fall off, the new school Hip-Hop artists went back to the essence. Although it started as a fashion rehash in the "Hardcore Baldhead" Timbo era, Old school Bombers (Puffer Jackets), Ski Goggles, Mock Necks, Suede Pumas, Adidas Superstars and Backpacks, were the hottest styles, again. It even crossed over to the New York "Club Kid" Rave Scene, Platform Shell Toes anyone? But the fashion became a genuine expression within the the Hip-Hop movement, as MCs that were too young to participate in the Park Jam era, showed their love for the culture. Uptempo club freindly tracks, B-Boys, Dance routines, Graffiti, real DJ skills, Beatboxing and Video cameos by the Legends of Hip-Hop. Looking at it now it looks nostalgic, but to many at the time it is evident that it was a new generation of Hip-Hoppers seeking their own history, and making it their own, not a carbon copy of what went before. Here are a few stand out videos of that time. Please feel free to add some others you feel we missed!
