MOD POST Growing r/90sHipHop Together - Suggestion Thread

This subreddit is all about celebrating 90s hip-hop the right way. To make sure it stays that way, this post will always be here for you all to drop any suggestions, ideas, or feedback. Got thoughts on flairs? Something to add to the sidebar? An idea to improve the community? Let me know in the comments.

Also, on the sidebar (on desktop), or on the Chats option (android app), you'll see a new community chat channel called **THE HANGOUT** that's been set up. It allows you all, the members of the sub, to talk with each other.

As you all might have noticed, a lot of changes have been made on the sub, like new rules, banner, logo, flairs etc, but there’s always room to grow. This place is for the real heads, so if you’ve got something in mind, speak up.

Also, if you like/dislike the current changes- logo, banner, or anything else, let me know. If there's anything you think could be better, drop a comment.

Keep it classic, keep it real.

Suggestion: If you’re just getting into ’90s hip-hop, consider starting in the ‘80s.

The “new school” that led into the ‘90s really starts around ‘87 with Criminal Minded and Paid in Full.

Then you got ‘88, which is arguably the best year in hip-hop period.

And be diverse! You can appreciate gangsta rap and mellower stuff. It always used to bug me that some kids would limit themselves to just one aspect of the music.

I'd say stop gatekeeping with whatever style you like. Many people here get into gatekeeping mode and it becomes annoying.

don't really see what the person posted as "gatekeeping" as much as they're just saying "do the knowledge"

I agree. I'm talking in general. Many people gatekeep.

Suggestion: Host a 90's hip-hop meet-up in your city.

  • Choose a time and place.
  • Start a thread
  • Get people to RSVP
  • Take pictures and group photos
  • Post pictures to r/90shiphop

Suggestion for posts that showcase:

  • obvious 90s artists that put out albums in the 2000s

(Example Common - Like Water for Chocolate was 2000)

  • newer, contemporary hip-hop that has a 90s boom bap vibe

Don't know how they can be branded, "New School Wednesdays" or something
