came across this the other day and thought any of the older hip hop fans out there would get a kick out of it- the new jack hip hop awards. evidently it was a reaction against the grammys, a sort of online people’s choice for hip hop. it covers 91-98. i read through 93 and was brought back in time. it’s kind of sad to be reminded of the quality the genre once offered but it’s pretty funny too (phat and whack used without even the suggestion of a smirk). anhyow in that this does not exactly make for a juicy post i thought i’d add dreamchimney’s small yo mtv raps video archive as well as james shabazz’s excellent back in the days and a time before crack both of which are well worth the dough. sigh.
